The lazarus heart lyrics

Artist  : Sting & police 
Song : The lazarus heart
 
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
