The Lazarus Heart Lyrics - Nothing Like The Sun - Sting

He looked beneath his shirt today 

There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide 

From the wound a lovely flower grew 

From somewhere deep inside 

He turned around to face his mother 

To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand 

But the sword that cut him open 

Was the sword in his mother's hand 

Every day another miracle 

Only death will tear us apart 

To sacrifice a life for yours 

I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart 

The blood of the lazarus heart

Though the sword was his protection 

The wound itself would give him power 

The power to remake himself 

At the time of his darkest hour 

She said the wound would give him courage and pain 

The kind of pain that you can't hide 

From the wound a lovely flower grew 

From somewhere deep inside 

Every day another miracle 

Only death will keep us apart 

To sacrifice a life for yours 

I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart 

The blood of the lazarus heart

Birds on the roof of my mother's house 

I've no stones that chase them away 

Birds on the roof of my mother's house 

Will sit on my roof someday 

They fly at the window, they fly at the door 

Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore 

She counts all her children as a shield against the rain 

Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain 

Every day another miracle 

Only death will keep us apart 

To sacrifice a life for yours 

I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart 

The blood of the lazarus heart
