Lazarus

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
 
(Ooh...)
 
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...)
 
The animal in me!

"Totgesagte leben länger" is German proverb.
The English equivalent to it is:
"There's life in the old dog yet."

"Totgesagte" are persons , the people said they are already dead.
"Totgeglaubte" are persons , the people believed they are already dead.
"das kalte Nass " ; meant is the cold water

"Aus dem Grab wie Lazarus" should be Out of the Grave like Lazarus, not from the Dead.
