Saxon Crow

The Anguish of Lazarus

It began with pain

And a quick gasp of breath

What once was darkness

I now had left

And all I heard 

Was the sound of a voice 

\'Rise Lazarus Rise!\'

And without any choice

I opened my eyes

And walked out of a tomb

Like a new born baby

Leaving the womb

And that day so many years ago

Is a curse brought to me by some ego

And I\'m sick of him and his holy ways

For I can never die not on any day

And my \'God\' I\'ve tried but everytime failed

Even the devil won\'t take me to hell

And so I\'m doomed to walk this pitiful earth

Because of a rabbi and his magic spell

Judge me if you dare

For my blasphemous remarks

But you weren\'t there

Weren\'t lying in the dark

I tasted death 

I know his name

But now I can\'t dream

Can\'t hide from the pain

And I\'ve done everything 

That this world has to offer

And learnt it\'s only me 

That will go on forever

And no matter how far I trudge these lands

I walk in circles again and again

There\'s no distraction 

I haven\'t tried

I\'ve been rich and been poor

I\'ve been honest, I\'ve lied

I\'ve lived every life 

You can possibly conceive

But through it all

I\'ve never had sleep

What did I do to deserve such pain?

Nothing at all I was just part of a plan 

And I don\'t know how long this will last

But if I could, I\'d go back to the past

And I\'d walk up to the man 

Who gave me this life

And I\'d just scream at him

\'Tell me why?!\'
