Lazarus Heart
by Joshua Leventhal

Album: All Ye Lepers

Verse 1
There's a Man who's been hanging 'round tombs
And the whole town don't know what to think
See, He talks to the dead and tells them to rise
And they rise just like they were asleep
And they ain't just some phantoms or wraiths
They've got skin, they've got bones, they've got names
They speak of this Man, say, "You've gotta meet Him
Just His shadow heals sick and the lame"

Pre-Chorus
He's doing just what He said
He's raising the dead

Chorus
And He's come for me
To wake me from my sleep
He shouts out my name and He scatters my dark
And He raises this Lazarus heart

Verse 2
There's a flower that's blooming in me
It's never grown here before
Sisters joyfully weep, they recline at Your feet
Spill their perfume all over the floor
But the honeymoon's over for me
Broke my vows almost instantly
If this is new life, then how come I still strive?
Maybe death isn't finished with me

Pre-Chorus
But You're doing just what You said
You're raising the dead

Chorus
And You've come for me
To wake me from my sleep
You shout out my name and You scatter my dark
And You raise up this Lazarus heart

Bridge
(Oh) This is gonna hurt
(Oh) But it has to work
And though I can't see any daylight in me
Still You're ripping me out from the dirt

Chorus
So please, heal me
My death just runs so deep
Yet You reach to my depths and You scatter my dark
And You raise up this Lazarus heart
