The Lazarus Curse

Abandoned and forlorn, I walk this world alone Treated like a leper, avoided where I go Outcast and abnormal, a nomad shunned by God Cursed to walk forever 'tween the fire and the flood I am night and pity, pestilence and plague In this vale of tears, I am eternity's slave 2.000 years I've wandered beneath oppressive skies Reborn through burial dirt - a ghost who will not die He rolled away the stone, from death I was released Overstepped the boundary, carrying disease My family's excitement soon turned into fear There was pain and poison within my joyous tears Forced to leave my home, because I bore the curse Resurrected horror, could I resist the urge? No shadow, no reflection, inhuman Entity Directionless drifter, scourge of humanity One with the dead, seeking my grave Nothing but pain - This is my curse I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes A walking corpse - This is my curse What should not be, what cannot die What shan't be known - This is my curse Haunted by visions, these memories Of Purgatory - This is my curse The last of my kin, the last of my kind King of Nothing that Fate left behind Preceded by whispers wherever I roam Death unbound, contagious and deformed Revolting and foul, rejected and scarred, I bear Man's sorrows inside my cold, cold heart But from my distance I watch the world burn For your demise my wicked soul yearns One with the dead, seeking my grave Nothing but pain - This is my curse I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes A walking corpse - This is my curse What should not be, what cannot die What shan't be known - This is my curse Haunted by visions, these memories Of Purgatory - This is my curse
