Lyrics Asaf Avidan

Asaf Avidan

Rock of Lazarus

The day is short, the night is long, your heart is ravenous

They say a heart that eats alone, it chokes, it's dangerous

But I have lost my appetite, it proved superfluous

My blood, it bled the deepest red and then it turned to rust

Life is short and death is long my thoughts are nebulous

It seems I'm lost inside myself, well that makes two of us

I wish I had the words to say, but words are treacherous

My guts were stilled my, my ego stilled, but it was Lazarus

Wake up! Rock of Lazarus

Wake and turn to heart

Beat with all the blood and dirt

From the start

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

Cry till you dry

And you die

And they'll drag you again into light

Your dreams are big your feet are small, the union perilous

You'll walk alone I'm not your ride onto the precipice

I'm occupied in finding shape, I'm not your therapist

My blood has bled, just blow my head, it will be courteous

My heart is small your eyes are big, look how they stare at us

You're still a cub, but I am old - I'm not anomalous

I will grow then I'll grow more then I will turn to dust

But yet my heart beats like the start for it is Lazarus

Wake up Rock of Lazarus

Wake and turn to heart

Beat with all the blood and dirt

From the start

From the start

Wake up Rock of Lazarus

Wake and turn to heart

Beat with all the blood and dirt

From the start

From the start

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

HOWL

Old hearts rise again

Cry till you dry

And you die

And they'll drag you again into light
