Even In Heaven

 

Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt

 

Die my love, so sweet and true

Everything is through with you

Jesus takes your pain away

Then leaves you naked in decay

 

Life could be paradise deep in your shell

But even in heaven there’s a way down to hell

 

Everlasting love must die

All of us are meant to cry

Climb that mountain to the top

Once you’re there, what have you got?

 

Fall through your past again deep down the well

Yes, even in heaven there’s a way down to hell

 

Die my love, so sweet and true

Now there’s nothing left for you

Take this rose and let it burn

Once you’ve lived there’s no return

 

Life could be paradise deep in your shell

But even in heaven there’s a way down to hell

 

 

The Memory

 

Music and Lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt

 

The room is cold, the air is thin

Filled with thoughts of what has been

The walls reflect my great defeat

It left a taste so bittersweet

 

Sitting and weeping is all I do

I still dream of you

The scent of your hair is still in here

The memory of you kills me

 

I strike a match, can’t see the light

Happiness has proved me right

It’s not the loss not what you said

It’s just that every song sounds dead

 

Sitting and weeping is all I do

I still dream of you

The scent of your hair is still in here

The memory of you kills me

 

I’m trying to reach that silver screen

I want to live that golden dream

This haunted room has left the shore

All that was will be no more

 

Sitting and weeping is all I do

I still dream of you

The scent of your hair is still in here

The memory of you kills me

 

 

I Still Walk That Street

 

Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt

 

I stand free like the wind but I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve gained both diamonds and gold but I’m feeling poor

I go out every night but I’m just getting old

I sleep beside the fire but still my body’s cold

 

My life seems to fade without you

And everyone I see…they’re not you

 

Been down so long, heaven seems so far

Below my feet a snow-white angel weeps

Were you there?

 

Can I run and still be standing still

Something’s in my soul that I can’t kill

 

I still walk that street where I first saw your eyes

I still fall in love, but I’m lost in the shadow of you

 

You said the fire had died

But you never said why

And when you told me “goodbye”

I know you lied

 

On every street there’s a dream leading to where it starts

No dream can last on it’s own

But so can the longing heart

 

I still walk that street where I first saw your eyes

I still fall in love, but I’m lost in the shadow of you

 

I still wear that scar

Lost in the shadow of you

My heart’s gone too far

Lost in the shadow of you

I still wear that scar

Lost in the shadow of you

My heart’s gone too far

Lost in the shadow of you

 

I still walk that street where I first saw your eyes

I still fall in love, but I’m lost in the shadow of you

 

 

Flickering Fire

 

Music and lyrics by Daniel Hammarstedt

 

You’re standing with a broken key

Lost in a world of closed doors

Your compass will not work at all

Now, is it right left back or forth?

 

As hard as it seems

Just follow that dream

Come on, come on

 

On your feet and walk that bloody road now

Something’s gotta give

And even though this world is getting colder

You know you gotta live

Because life is still on your side

So come rain or come shine

Like a flickering fire you’ll burn

Leave no stone unturned

 

Don’t ask for blind justice here

You know that life’s a bitch

It’s a world of who eats who, my friend

Survival of the rich

 

But don’t you get scared

I know that you dare

Get up, get up

 

On your feet and walk that bloody road now

Something’s gotta give

And even though this world is getting colder

You know you gotta live

Because life is still on your side

So come rain or come shine

Like a flickering fire you’ll burn

Leave no stone unturned

 

Sticks and stones may break your bones

But those words can hurt as well

So keep your heart away from drones

Don’t believe these tales they tell

 

Just cut to the chase

You still got that ace

Come on, come on

 

On your feet and walk that bloody road now

Something’s gotta give

And even though this world is getting colder

You know you gotta live

Because life is still on your side

So come rain or come shine

Like a flickering fire you’ll burn

Leave no stone unturned

 

Yeah…Flickering fire
