Lazarus Heart

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
He looked beneath his shirt todayThere was a wound in his flesh so deep and wideFrom the wound a lovely flower grewFrom somewhere deep insideHe turned around to face his motherTo show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brandBut the sword that cut him openWas the sword in his mother's handEvery day another miracleOnly death will tear us apartTo sacrifice a life for yoursI'd be the blood of the Lazarus heartThe blood of the Lazarus heartThough the sword was his protectionThe wound itself would give him powerThe power to remake himself at the time of his darkest hourShe said the wound would give him courage and painThe kind of pain that you can't hideFrom the wound a lovely flower grewFrom somewhere deep insideEvery day another miracleOnly death will keep us apartTo sacrifice a life for yoursI'd be the blood of the Lazarus heartThe blood of the Lazarus heartBirds on the roof of my mother's houseI've no stones that chase them awayBirds on the roof of my mother's houseWill sit on my roof some dayThey fly at the window, they fly at the doorWhere does she get the strength to fight them anymoreShe counts all her children as a shield against the painLifts her eyes to the sky like a flower in the rainEvery day another miracleOnly death will keep us apartTo sacrifice a life for yoursI'd be the blood of the Lazarus heartThe blood of the Lazarus heart
