Lyrics Rock of Lazarus - Asaf Avidan

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 spilled, my heart was 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

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 old, 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

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
