Only Human

His shadow self

will be forgotten

his shadow self...

in my heart of hearts

i'll keep the good memories closely guarded

but the anxiety

the darkness will walk with me forever

for several years

you outplayed the reaper

but gradually time turned from a good friend to worst enemy

the same blood boils in my veins, as it did in yours

it's the blood of pride, stubbornness and unyielding struggle

MEMORIES ARE DESPERATE TO LEAVE US

BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED

IT, HOWEVER, BURDENS ME A LOT TO CONFESS

THAT OUR CONSANGUINITY LIES DISMEMBERED

they say kites gain lift when facing headwind

and so did you

you just didn't know when to come back down again

from your skyward journey

distance is a dagger and the further apart

the deeper the cut

and you're as far away as one possibly can get

MEMORIES ARE DESPERATE TO LEAVE US

BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED

IT, HOWEVER, BURDENS ME A LOT TO CONFESS

THAT OUR CONSANGUINITY LIES DISMEMBERED

I LOOK INSIDE MYSELF

AS I DID THE PEN IN THE BLACK INK OF MY HEART

AND MANIFEST ENOUGH QUERIES TO FILL A BOOKSHELF

uncle, are you watching?

I'll carry your name through our songs

and I will wear your silver as my armour

we've lost the fifth son of the seventh son

MEMORIES ARE DESPERATE TO LEAVE US

BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED

IT, HOWEVER, BURDENS ME A LOT TO CONFESS

THAT OUR CONSANGUINITY LIES DISMEMBERED

I LOOK INSIDE MYSELF

AS I DID THE PEN IN THE BLACK INK OF MY HEART

AND MANIFEST ENOUGH QUERIES TO FILL A BOOKSHELF
