Lazarus
Click to see the original lyrics (German)
I dug a grave for you
I wished for you to die
I made a noose for you
Then lynched you in a dream
Tell me where all the stars are
Hold me and listen to the wind
The dead live longer
Because they fight to the end
Dead believers come back
From the dead like Lazarus
Show me for the last time
The way to dark paradise
Feed my insatiable greed
The animal in me
I carried you to the river
I laid you in the cold wetness
I covered you with rose petals
I waited until the bell tolled.
Tell me where all the stars are
Hold me and listen to the wind
The dead live longer
Because they fight to the end
Dead believers come back
From the dead like Lazarus
Show me for the last time
The way to dark paradise
Feed my insatiable greed
The animal in me
I made your coffin
I cried for your death
Reminded myself of our oath
We two are united in death
The dead live longer
Because they fight to the end
Dead believers come back
From the dead like Lazarus
Show me for the last time
The way to dark paradise
Feed my insatiable greed
The animal in me
(Ooh...)
The animal in me!
(Ooh...)
I feel like there were a lot colloquial euphemisms in this song. If there were any that I missed, feel free to correct/explain it
