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?
