The Lazarus Curse
Abandoned and forlorn, I walk this world alone
Treated like a leper, avoided where I go
Outcast and abnormal, a nomad shunned by God
Cursed to walk forever 'tween the fire and the flood
I am night and pity, pestilence and plague
In this vale of tears, I am eternity's slave
2.000 years I've wandered beneath oppressive skies
Reborn through burial dirt - a ghost who will not die
He rolled away the stone, from death I was released
Overstepped the boundary, carrying disease
My family's excitement soon turned into fear
There was pain and poison within my joyous tears
Forced to leave my home, because I bore the curse
Resurrected horror, could I resist the urge?
No shadow, no reflection, inhuman Entity
Directionless drifter, scourge of humanity
One with the dead, seeking my grave
Nothing but pain - This is my curse
I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes
A walking corpse - This is my curse
What should not be, what cannot die
What shan't be known - This is my curse
Haunted by visions, these memories
Of Purgatory - This is my curse
The last of my kin, the last of my kind
King of Nothing that Fate left behind
Preceded by whispers wherever I roam
Death unbound, contagious and deformed
Revolting and foul, rejected and scarred,
I bear Man's sorrows inside my cold, cold heart
But from my distance I watch the world burn
For your demise my wicked soul yearns
One with the dead, seeking my grave
Nothing but pain - This is my curse
I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes
A walking corpse - This is my curse
What should not be, what cannot die
What shan't be known - This is my curse
Haunted by visions, these memories
Of Purgatory - This is my curse
Treated like a leper, avoided where I go
Outcast and abnormal, a nomad shunned by God
Cursed to walk forever 'tween the fire and the flood
I am night and pity, pestilence and plague
In this vale of tears, I am eternity's slave
2.000 years I've wandered beneath oppressive skies
Reborn through burial dirt - a ghost who will not die
He rolled away the stone, from death I was released
Overstepped the boundary, carrying disease
My family's excitement soon turned into fear
There was pain and poison within my joyous tears
Forced to leave my home, because I bore the curse
Resurrected horror, could I resist the urge?
No shadow, no reflection, inhuman Entity
Directionless drifter, scourge of humanity
One with the dead, seeking my grave
Nothing but pain - This is my curse
I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes
A walking corpse - This is my curse
What should not be, what cannot die
What shan't be known - This is my curse
Haunted by visions, these memories
Of Purgatory - This is my curse
The last of my kin, the last of my kind
King of Nothing that Fate left behind
Preceded by whispers wherever I roam
Death unbound, contagious and deformed
Revolting and foul, rejected and scarred,
I bear Man's sorrows inside my cold, cold heart
But from my distance I watch the world burn
For your demise my wicked soul yearns
One with the dead, seeking my grave
Nothing but pain - This is my curse
I suffer in silence, sun burns my eyes
A walking corpse - This is my curse
What should not be, what cannot die
What shan't be known - This is my curse
Haunted by visions, these memories
Of Purgatory - This is my curse
