STING - Lazarus Heart lyrics

rate me

He looked beneath his shirt today<br>There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide<br>From the wound a lovely flower grew<br>From somewhere deep inside<br>He turned around to face his mother<br>To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand<br>But the sword that cut him open<br>Was the sword in his mother's hand<br><br>Every day another miracle<br>Only death will tear us apart<br>To sacrifice a life for yours<br>I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart<br>The blood of the lazarus heart<br><br>Though the sword was his protection<br>The wound itself would give him power<br>The power to remake himself at the time of his darkest hour<br>She said the wound would give him courage and pain<br>The kind of pain that you can't hide<br>From the wound a lovely flower grew<br>From somewhere deep inside<br><br>Every day another miracle<br>Only death will keep us apart<br>To sacrifice a life for yours<br>I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart<br>The blood of the lazarus heart<br><br>Birds on the roof of my mother's house<br>I've no stones that chase them away<br>Birds on the roof of my mother's house<br>Will sit on my roof some day<br>They fly at the window, they fly at the door<br>Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore<br>She counts all her children as a shield against the pain<br>Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower in the rain<br><br>Every day another miracle<br>Only death will keep us apart<br>To sacrifice a life for yours<br>I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart<br>The blood of the lazarus heart
