Lazarus Lyrics

She came in the silence, alone in the night

Out in the wasteland screaming, hide us all in the light

A doorway was opened, but we don't understand

How could it come to be? Was this all part of the plan

Mother, I feel weary, I feel its sleepless glare

I know it's all consuming, but I can't forswear

Fathomless, unending, the light is now descending

And I can feel it take control

Morning awakened, and one of us was taken

The signs were left within the dirt

The end was coming even sooner than we dared

She called us children cause she knew that we were scared

Mother, I feel weary, I feel its sleepless glare

I know it's all-consuming, but I can't forswear

Fathomless, unending, the light is now descending

And I can feel it take control

Lazarus, ascending, there is no comprehending

No one on earth can ever know

Feel it take control

When there was nothing left, I finally said goodbye

And then I crawled inside and waited there to die

I felt the earth surround me, I felt her warm embrace

And in the quiet void I finally felt safe

The portents revealing, the ancient thoughts concealing

A gateway opens in my mind

The words are deceiving, the cost of disbelieving

To send us stumbling and blind to the edge of time
