There's a Man who's been hanging round tombs And the whole town don't know what to think See, He talks to the dead, tells them to rise And they rise just like they were asleep And they ain't just some phantoms or wraiths They've got skin, they've got bones, they've got names They speak of this Man, say You've gotta meet Him Just His shadow heals sick and the lame He's doing just what He said He's raising the dead And He's come for me To wake me from my sleep He shouts out my name And He scatters my dark And He raises this Lazarus heart There's a flower that's blooming in me It's never grown here before Sisters joyfully weep, they recline at Your feet Spill their perfume all over the floor But the honeymoon's over for me Broke my vows almost instantly If this is new life, how come I still strive Maybe death isn't finished with me But You're doing just what You said You're raising the dead And You've come for me To wake me from my sleep You shout out my name And You scatter my dark And You raise up this Lazarus heart Oh-oh-oh this is gonna hurt Oh-oh-oh but it has to work And though I can't see any daylight in me Still you're ripping me out from the dirt So please heal me My death just runs so deep Yet You reach to my depths And You scatter my dark And You raise up this Lazarus heart
