Lazarus

This time of sleep is followed by a soul suspended I am the resurrection through me your life is extended Four days in shadows the cold embrace Your lifeless form is lying in a desolate place Worn hands still gripping onto the past You'll take the fall sometimes these dreams are made to last Your time to rise shatter the chains Break through the silence defy the pain Giving yourself over to me Shake off the dust Lazarus Rise rise break the chain Though he were dead though he were dead Though he were dead yet shall he live Betrayal's dagger I plunge within You rise before the fall but that's where I begin Your soul awakened with bated breath To show the world this sickness will not end in death Your time to rise shatter the chains Break through the silence defy the pain Giving yourself over to me Shake off the dust Lazarus From depths of darkness new rays of light Conquer the despair flight fight or fright With every nightmare new dawn is near Subdue the sorrow dispel the fear This sickness is not weakness This sickness will not end in death This sickness is not weakness This sickness will not end in death A new day dawning my destiny No turning back no changing path new origin This flicker of life sparks will ignite Rebirth of spirit guided by a blinding light Your time to rise shatter the chains Break through the silence defy the pain Giving yourself over to me Shake off the dust Lazarus
