Lazarus

by Trash Bats

/
1.
We stacked 15 stones At the head of the path In an attempt to steer them away From the fall children With the crooked smiles Amongst the graves and the fallen leaves I said sinners repent Cause its the only way And there's no other means to escape the fate And once you bear your pain to the wolf in the shadows He will walk you towards the rotting gates Wash it away...

Resurrection 03:12
She's got a skull painted on her face She's standing at the foot of my grave I'm praying that my soul is pure enough to escape this fate There's a whisper creeping from the woods The diamond-eyed wolf has hid as long as she could My resurrection lightning strikes and I breathe again Now the cool rain falls but I can't feel it no more There's a darkness where there was bright light before Six shots that struck me dead still buried in my heart But against the will of Christ I've risen from the dark It feels like spitting in the face of God No longer stranded as the man I once was Even with all my misdeeds committed the Lord has told me I'm accepted I'm Resurrected A black cloud across the red night moon, night moon From this shallow grave I sprung out 3 days to soon A second chance to do what I was born to do Now the cool rain falls but I can't feel it no more There's a darkness where there was bright light before Six shots that struck me dead still buried in my heart But against the will of Christ I've risen from the dark It feels like spitting in the face of God No longer stranded as the man I once was Even with all my misdeeds committed the Lord has told me I'm accepted I'm Resurrected

A flash of light it blinds my eyes I feel like death is watching Calling from the shadows getting me back to my coffin I ain't ready to stay dead yet The cold air on my face I got so much here left to do the Lords chained me in place The afterlife ain't fit to hold a righteous man you see The burden you carry is etched by fear, repent and walk with me Are you saved child are you pure Oh will you bear the mark Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night A cold cut cross is carved into the trees to mark my path The devil in the deepest parts of bridges I've stormed past The church bells ringing as they burn materials are null I've moved myself to perch to see the world from up above I know in my heart this ain't the end, the word it still needs spread Imma saving souls from the devils touch even when they don't want it Are you saved child are you pure Oh will you bear the mark Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night Are you saved child are you pure Oh will you bear the mark Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night Are you saved child are you pure Oh will you bear the mark Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night Are you saved child are you pure Oh will you bear the mark Your soul needs cleaned your heart is tainted Imma pull you from the dark Oh darling end is coming on a tall white horse he rides Death is lurking outside your windows, lets stand against the night

Kill Again 03:34
Twenty odd years of making mistakes I dragged the body through the woods and sat down next to the lake There was cool breeze blowing and from the mountain peaks and a shiver cut through me when the lord speaks With the eyes all around me all hunting for my sins I sneak into the dark never seen again But a cold exiled death on this backwoods trail can't keep the wrath of man off my tail I'll hide amongst the bones of the meek and feeble waiting for final judgment oh that righteous upheaval When I'm meant to answer to a higher force and beg for mercy in front of the lord I got a hunger that ain’t mine and its crippled me inside I'm so hungry for the flesh amongst the trees I hide When the trumpet sounds off and heavens burst to fire The devil reaching for me cause of what’s deep inside I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again I'll kill again I was born a monster in a world of violent beasts My blatant cruel desires didn't make me feel unique I see you try to hide the hate behind your eyes But I never felt the need to lie until I realized Its hypocrisy in full when we're caging up our devils even when we all want to do what's considered evil We're twisted and distorted and love shedding blood As a whole we'd rather kill when love is what we should I'm marking up the trees with the sign I bear Its brotherhood forever even if no one's here A sheep you see is hiding from the moon but a ghost like me doesn't fear wolf tunes A howling on the hills and the beating of wings There’s a devil in the forest and it looks like me Don't give in to sin unless you willing to hide because those who shine brightest are destined to die I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again I'll kill again Everyone together we are doing things wrong If my ghoulish haunted followers just play along When the final days are shining just out over the hills We can take all those we love with us enjoy the thrills The judgment day is lurking just on the edge There’s a second violent coming is your soul prepared I've been playing and saving since I first learned to talk I'm the corpse you wanna see strung up on that cross I can't contain my anger my rage or my animal instincts driving me to kill again If I’m not caught driven down or buried now I’ll kill again I'll kill again

Doubt 03:54
I watch the hours pass on by I feel every second linger I'm sitting in the dark every sound it sends a shiver Cause I shout and kick and yell when the eyes are turned to see But behind my heavy doors, I doubt everything I say I try and feel your presence, oh I want to justify The things I say I feel and hear, nothings sitting right Alone in this here dark as the Sunday sun goes down I mouth the father's prayer but I only hear myself Do I believe In me I don't know Do I still hear The righteous call That heavenly tone Angels will you hear my words and carry them away To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace I’m feeling like a fraud when I take a step back Preaching peace and love but living none of that Do I do this for the righteous cause or have I lost my way So scared in the face of eternal doom but stuck in my old ways I wanna be the booming voice that steers you through the storm But I can't convince myself in what I'm saying anymore If I'm actually your vessel If this temple is truly yours Then send me down a sign cause Lord I'm feeling lost Do I believe In me I don't know Do I still hear The righteous call That heavenly tone Angels will you hear my words and carry them away To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace Angels will you hear my words and carry them away To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight Cause if I don't get ahold of fear, If I'm left here with this pain I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace Shine on On me Shine on me Oh grace give me life Angels will you hear my words and carry them away To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace Angels will you hear my words and carry them away To someone that'll listen that'll try and set me straight Cause if I don't get ahold of faith, If I'm left here with this pain I'll lose it to despair, shine on me your sweet grace

Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name You made a pact with the devil And the curse must be lifted By rope or by fire We will be rid of your twisted And vile ways Oh lord guide your darkness on In a shallow grave By the ledge we lay your body down Under stones or a stake Your debt of blood will be paid up Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name Oh lord don't say my name again Swinging from the ropes gonna drown your demons All the laughter and the fits are righteous treason Against the fear of the dark will they utter your name Oh lord don't say my name again

Possession 03:08
Smile It will end soon The darkness you've accepted that shadow that’s consumed all of you You're light Snuffed to smoke I’ve learned all the secret ways To save your very soul I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours Smile I'm on his trail The devil deep inside that’s tainting your flesh Trying drag your soul to hell Don't you fret darling Imma sent here by the Lord To drain the tar of Satan from the veins of the bodies abhorred Some far worse than yours I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours I saw that you were lost in a life of blackened sin With a crow guiding your way into the wolves red hand But darling your possession it ain’t nothing I can't cure The power of Christ compels you back to something much more pure Darling I've saved soul far worse than yours

All the darks thoughts that I keep from you I can't stop thinking of you Hold me closer an take a breath I can feel my hands around your neck Under the moonlight step into the white light I'll keep you dressed in your Sunday best I held you tight all safely entwined Laid you down and kissed you one last time My sweet Gloria Why did things go this way I dress you up and try to pretend That everything is still the same I know your hearts no longer beating Eyes open wide its so misleading As long as I draw shaky breath You'll never find your peace in death You'll never find your peace in death All the misery I'm soaking in The ghosts and woes still creeping in Up all night with one regret Was that final night I lost my shit Under the moonlight dark blood in my eyes The line was drawn my soul was lost I fell to my knees the anger passed And I could finally see all the mess My sweet Gloria Why did things go this way I dress you up and try to pretend That everything is still the same I know your hearts no longer beating Eyes open wide its so misleading As long as I draw shaky breath You'll never find your peace in death You'll never find your peace in death You'll never find your peace in death You'll never find peace

Oath Breaker 04:13
A promise is just words if you're intending something evil I meant what I said but I guess it doesn't matter You left me wounded You took me for a fool, and I admitted that I fell Hook through my heart and its dragging me towards hell That’s were you're hiding, oath breaker I gave you all I had and now sitting here in squalor A hand burst from the dirt and it pulls me by the collar Only life left to give, oath breaker A man stripped of love and life and drinking off his sorrows Starting to see red and I'm losing touch with all of the Things that’d hold me back, oath breaker I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell The Lord will shine a light in this mortal hell I'm losing my cool, losing my grip Starting to snap, starting to slip Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me This is the monster hiding underneath, you rotten bitch I can smell your blood and you'll taste my vengeance I been waiting out your window gonna burden you with penance And you'll meet my god Something in me broke and the sirens in the distance As I'm snapping all your bones just to punctuate my sentence You are not forgiven, oath breaker You thought you were cruel then you met a righteous end I'm the rising red dawn and I promise no friend The seas of hell will greet you, oath breaker At the end of my rope but you're gonna fall first I gotta a taste for hate and Imma quench my thirst On your pitiful pleas for release from my hellish wrath I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell The lord will shine a light in this mortal hell I'm losing my cool, losing my grip Starting to snap, starting to slip Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me This is the monster hiding underneath Ripping at the failing the failing seams Starting to scream, pushing back Blood for blood, break and snap Burning down your precious dreams, a righteous kind of gluttony I'm hungry for revenge against you, rotten bitch I never met in life such a dirty little liar You scared me one to many times and now i'm back in a righteous light I never heard you scream so clear But in your dying words you might as well finally done something honestly I'm over all the lies and the stories you tell The lord will shine a light in this mortal hell I'm losing my cool, losing my grip Starting to snap, starting to slip Carve out your apology, second chance to lie to me This is the monster hiding underneath Ripping at the failing the failing seams Starting to scream, pushing back Blood for blood, break and snap Burning down your precious dreams, a righteous kind of gluttony I'm hungry for revenge against you watching smiling as you bleed Take my life, take it all Burn me down, burn it up There’s a violent side I tried to hide, a fire boiling deep inside You stoked the flames and now you'll pay, you rotten bitch

As I'm laying here lord looking death in the face My heart beats weak and my breath comes frail The crying all around me in a piercing white noise My eyes roll back and my skin turns pale I'm hoping that my final words find your ears And I'm hoping that these final moments end in grace The blood in my mouth starts to pool in my lungs And it won't be long before I'm at your gates Saying it in praying tones and hoping that its working As the river flows calm and I'm hearing it call me The burning in my guts it's building and fierce When my children pay in blood, pain, hatred and tears The flies on my tongue hear my final words whispered As what's left of me to rot is thrown into the river Brother guide me on my descent to the water My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep Drape me in my robe and let my children watch Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth Praying death would claim me in this frail form To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn I will be, released A porous corpses flowing down a lesser river Jordan There's a goat on the shore and its pointing me forward I can feel the waves rocking and the flames snuff out As my burnt singed human form is pulled sky bound The chanting in the trees crescendos I rise To a deafening scream I can see the red eyes Of the afterlife and strong force pulls me back And new breath fills my lungs once again Revival but I'm bound here in this rotting flesh Damned to live my life as I died and do it again Until the bell is rung I'm tied to this plain And death will always skip me until my task is complete Come hell or high water I will steer my flock To the glory of the lord and from up above Cleanse his crumbling planet of an infection of sinners Once the earth is pure, shine upon me all his love Brother guide me on my descent to the water My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep Living here forever trying to make the world clean I can the hear the tortured souls stuck in between I'm a swift sword, lord held, crusading rotting monster And before I can rest I'll do the bidding of my father Drape me in my robe and let my children watch Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth Praying death would claim me in this frail form To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn I need, released Brother guide me on my descent to the water My vision starts to blur and I can press on no longer They're wailing in the woods and I'm growing sick and weak The spirits of the fallen beckon me into sleep Living here forever trying to make the world clean I can the hear the tortured souls stuck in between I'm a swift sword, lord held, crusading rotting monster And before I can rest I'll do the bidding of my father In these holy final moments you must repent Dragged before the angels will you sin again? A day of righteous judgement and of fire and of saving If your soul is pure then you shouldn't fear my coming Drape me in my robe and let my children watch Cover my wounds with a sacred cloth Praying death would claim me in this frail form To wait in peace and glory until I am reborn I will be, released

Sanctuary 02:47
Oh my god kids are you listening Once again the evil is coming Prayers sent to heaven are delivered back to sender Amen I'm the righteous lightning The end is near we are forgotten Who are the false idols that you worshipped to damn us Satan tapping at your door He's here to claim your rotten soul Shouldn't played at witchcraft less you rot away in hell Ghosts and shadows on the streets Its smells of death and rotting leaves Tie me to stake and burn the evil from my soul Gather children, fire is coming Lay down your fears and let the evil in Sanctuary, Armageddon The bodies draped in silver at the gates of hell Oh hell yeah the darkness looming Gathered here outside the tomb When God has forsaken us where is our mercy Evil faces in the light The blood stained hands around the knife Tearing out your teeth to try and make amends Life is sacred souls are worthless Heavens closed and God has shunned us Feral swine are left to roam and rut amongst the corpses Open your eyes and shake the promise The devils real and creeping towards us Those who said his name will be the first he claims Gather children, fire is coming Lay down your fears and let the evil in Sanctuary, Armageddon The bodies draped in silver at the gates of hell The gates of hell The gates of hell

If you're a sinner you know your place in life If you're unholy, don't walk these woods at night This forest it speaks and it calls to you in your dreams So listen close darling, this tale isn't what it seems Long ago down an ancient road in a place where the people don't tread To haunted hollow in the center of the woods where even the air falls dead They say a witch lived here, claim she stalked these parts An old ghost from many years ago No one left to tell the tale, so this is what I know The young men went missing, the fairest women next All those who returned claimed to have been hexed Terror gripped over those in reach, unholy voices in the air Madness struck and blood was sought, the holy lord fled in fear If you don't believe in malicious beings, I advise you start believing now Cause the beast it feeds on doubt and pain deep inside that rotting hollow She promised sweets and delicious things and called to them in their sleep They loaded guns and set the woods to burn to try a cure the evil things After the witch, the madness stayed and it seemed to poison the land Even in death, the terror held, and they fell into Satan's lap Offers of prayers and sacrifice, they were left to feed on the weak All were lost to despair and pain, and snuffed out with a scream After the witch the beast set in and the forest where we now stand Was given to the dark unholy things and cleansed of the touch of man The shadows here still call for blood and I can tell you this I know is true An offered soul, a pure sacrifice, and that is why I've brought you
14.
Sacrifice 04:11
Baby I'm sorry I can't hear your voice again Worry I've made so many mistakes I can't avenge The calling Told me it was time to bring you on Crying I drag you to the mountain as I'm told I built my entire life around always having hope The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home My body and my soul cry Hallelujah Bloody I'm washing it all off of my stained hands Sorrow The thought of giving up my dearest friend Peaceful Your soul is now ascending to the lord Heaven Has asked for you for living life so pure I built my entire life around always having hope The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home My body and my soul cry Hallelujah I built my entire life around always having hope The sacrifice you made brought me closer to the Lord And when i hear the trumpet sound and beckon me back home My body and my soul cry Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hey little darling won't you come on in Your momma's in the garden and it's after ten While your daddies in the cellar with a devilish grin 1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in Knock knock knocking on the floor Comes a whisper and holler through the cellar door Sent the heathens to the holler, lead the children from sin 1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in It's time to repent I got the bible in my hands You got the gun pressed to his head God knows we follow his commands The lords word is, the lords word is Sacrifice him I ain't lookin for trouble it came looking for me Down the little dark alleys, running through the trees With a shot of gin kiss from a skeleton 1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in Take your time and tell your momma goodbye The light ahead is growing now ya dry yo eyes Heaven or hell you must pay for your sins 1, 2, 3 Let the good lord in It's time to repent I got the bible in my hands You got the gun pressed to his head God knows we follow his commands The lords word is, the lords word is Sacrifice His sins It's time to repent I got the bible in my hands You got the gun pressed to his head God knows we follow his commands The lords word is, the lords word is Sacrifice His sins

I'm a sick dog, I'm dead, I'm dying I've wandered off the beaten path Perched on the top of the highest mountain All those below me are drowning in sin Preaching to all Pearly white gates lay just beyond Splitting red sea of woes and sorrows And I'm stuck here til the savior is come I can't forget the hell I've walked The earth is scorched under the morning star touch The dogs in the east, ride with the light And death on their heels they chasing the dark I'm the last holy man in the path Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death Up on the altar, I'm laying barren Turning my will into harsh cold death A merciless savior on torn black feathers Killing the first to break from the pack The oceans are drying The bones washed ashore are blistered and broke Dogs in the east are howling Against the terror I'm bleeding out I can't forget the hell I've walked The earth is scorched under the morning star touch The dogs in the east, ride with the light And death on their heels they chasing the dark I'm the last holy man in the path Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death I can't forget the hell I've walked The earth is scorched under the morning star touch The dogs in the east, ride with the light And death on their heels they chasing the dark I'm the last holy man in the path Blood on my hands, the wolves turning back Don't tend to sin, repent to stave death
