Oh Lazarus Tell me 'bout the deep dark sleep Does it come quick and kind? Do you feel it creep? Oh, do you feel it creep? Oh Lazarus Tell me, does the price get paid? Weigh your heart 'gainst a feather Can you make the trade? Oh, can you make the trade? Between the fire and the sky On the edge of a knife Of all the altars that you kept sweet Words that made your knees weak Was it what you wanted when it's said and done? All your diviners and your saints Could they ever change your fate When the old gods call you home? You might also like Oh Lazarus Tell me, do the secrets keep? The ones you took to the grave Do they get set free? Oh, do they get set free? And oh Lazarus Tell me, when the bright light fades Do you fear what you see? Can you speak its name? Oh, can you speak its name? Between the fire and the sky On the edge of a knife Of all the altars that you kept sweet Words that made your knees weak Was it what you wanted when it's said and done? All your diviners and your saints Could they ever change your fate When the old gods call you home? Now you shoulder the load that you weren't meant to carry You speak of the things that the tongue cannot say Now you've glimpsed the things that belong to the buried Are you longing now to return to the clay? Of all the altars that you kept sweet Words that made your knees weak Was it what you wanted when it's said and done? All your diviners and your saints Could they ever change your fate When the old gods call you home? Oh Lazarus Tell me when you caught that breath Was it joy, was it fear Pounding in your chest? Oh, do you dare confess?
