Lazarus

from Puzzle by DLDown

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    DLDown's debut album on CD, complete with 8-page booklet with liner notes, lyrics and album artwork. Also includes immediate download of the digital album as detailed below.


    A QUICK WORD ABOUR HOW THIS VARIABLE PRICING THING WORKS: You can choose how much you want to pay for this music.
    • I like this because the important thing about music is the enjoyment of it, not the money.
    • I like this because it takes the wind out of the Music-Is-An-Industry sails.
    • I like this because it means you can have my music even if you haven't got any spare spending capacity just now.
    • I like this because I don't know how to price my music either.


    I know the whole "ascribing worth to something" thing makes some people uncomfortable, so if you need a suggestion to get you started, how about £5 for an album, or 50p per track. Or alternatively, you could download it for free and give it a few listens, then if you decide you really like it, you can come back and donate something later. Or buy a copy for a friend. Or help me by sharing it with your friends or writing a review. Or just enjoy it for free.


    If you're dithering, DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE NOW, and worry about all this another day!


    (The £1 minimum on CD orders goes towards the cost of a jiffy bag and stamp.) Thank you for supporting independent music.

lyrics

I’m lying on my deathbed, with friends around
My sisters fuss over me
Beneath their encouraging smiles the hope is gone from their eyes
Is this really my time to leave?
Is this really the end?
Why hasn’t my Lord come to see me?
I wanted to speak with my friend once more before I go

Your time has not yet come
I still have work for you my child
To show the world the glory of my son

A tentative scuffling outside
And the boulder slides aside
The darkened tomb flames with light

Electric thoughts snap in my mind
Synapses spark into life
Consciousness dawns like the sunrise

Through muscles lying cold as stone
These sweet pins and needles flow
These limbs become once more my own

I eagerly open my eyes
And outside the Saviour’s voice cries
“Lazarus, time to arise!”
