1) Lazarus began in 20… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least seven bands named Lazarus.
1) Lazarus began in 2001 as Trevor Montgomery's post-Tarentel solo project, a pilgrimage of either insanity or freedom - or both. 'Songs For an Unborn Sun' was his first release, a minimal and soulful collaboration with longtime friend Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). His second release, 'Like Trees We Grow up to be Satellites (The Backwards America)', punched through the whispering darkness into an orchestral declaration of strength, political upheaval, and hope. Recorded by Scott Solter (Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats), it was a playful and rich approach at expressing both failures and fortunes of life. Lazarus has now grown into a small ensemble, featuring Sacramento natives Kathryn Sechrist and Kelly Nyland, exloring overwhelmingly beautiful depths with dense layers of drums, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel, and Trevor's shamanistic, gospel-inspired vocals. Lazarus has become a brilliant, soulful, psychedelic experience of experimental and political grace. At last, this pilgrimage has found a solid road to freedom.
2) Lazarus is also a Detroit rapper whose debut album 'Chapter One: The Prince Who Would Be King' was released in 2007. Lazarus speaks on what he sees in his life in the realest, most creative and passionate way that it can be delivered: through wordplay, vocabulary, and vast amounts of emotion. Lazarus comes off as versatile in his range of rap styles, the way he shifts from calm to hard to lyrical, and then from slow-paced to fast.
3) Lazarus is also a Kenosha, Wisconsin based thrash metal band. They have since changed their name to LaZarus A.D. to avoid confusion. In late 2007 they unleashed their debut album 'The Onslaught.' THRASH OR DIE!
4) Lazarus is a currently inactive Latvian hard rock/heavy metal band from Rīga, Latvia formed in year 2006.

Lazarus Lyrics

Awaken from the haze
Regrow this land of poverty
As quickly as today
A simple flick the fire burns
Everything will thrive
Winding down the more we earn
This dream it will survive
Fire it up take it slow
Soon enough the truth will show
Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
[repeat]
Arrest the weak withhold the earth
Imprisonment for all
Those who seek the natural worth
Rise before you fall
Forget the greed forgive the lies
Ashes of the old
A tattered nation rectified
With every gram thats sold
Fire it up take it slow
Soon enough the truth will show
Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
[repeat]
Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
Shed the fields of destiny
Let go of the idea that your future is predetermined
Awaken from the haze
Wake up and see the world for what it is
Regrow this land of poverty
Bring new life and growth to an area in need
As quickly as today
There is no time to waste, start making changes right away
A simple flick the fire burns
Small actions can have a big impact
Everything will thrive
Positive change will lead to overall success
Winding down the more we earn
Material wealth does not always equal happiness
This dream it will survive
The hope for a better future will never die
Fire it up take it slow
Make progress, but proceed with caution
Soon enough the truth will show
In time, the reality of the situation will become clear
Light a city up in smoke
Make a bold statement to bring about change
Burning without agony
Change can be painful, but it is necessary for growth
The answer to a buried land
The solution to a previously unsolvable problem
Rooted as the enemy
The issue is deeply ingrained and must be overcome
Arrest the weak withhold the earth
Those in power use their strength to control and restrict resources
Imprisonment for all
Restrictions on freedom affect everyone
Those who seek the natural worth
People who value the earth and its resources
Rise before you fall
Act quickly to prevent disaster
Forget the greed forgive the lies
Overcoming selfishness and deceit is necessary for progress
Ashes of the old
Leave the past behind to start anew
A tattered nation rectified
A broken society made whole again
With every gram that's sold
Making positive changes will have a ripple effect, even in small actions.

Bowie entering the closet: his coffin.
The two Bowie's: the bedridden one to symbolise his body decaying, the active one dancing and writing around the room to symbolise his mind's determination to finish the album, mind over matter.
The girl under his bed trying to claw at him: symbolises the cancer trying to take hold of him, and, eventually, succeeding.
The thought, effort and cleverness put into this music video is mind boggling, how he insinuated his death days before, is and will hopefully go down as one of the most artistically done albums ever made.
RIP Bowie, we'll sure as hell miss you.
@DarrienJohnson2001

Thank you for your music and memories.
@06mrselfdestruct
David Bowie looked straight into the eyes of death, and used it to create his last masterpiece, fucking brilliant
@larkstonguesinaspic4814
IrishZombie81 exactly . He turned his own death into an Art project . What is possibly one of the best albums of all time .
@panzerjagertigerpelefant
When a man who's lived the life of a god in his profession, has gone through so much, from the death of his friends and companions who he sang with, and he nears his end, he knows he must have one last ride with his skills.
@kingken130
just like Freddie Mercury did
@emoAnarchist
thats gotta be the best way i have heard this album described
@carollipton4584
Absolutely. One of the most courageous acts of artistic creation that has ever been.
@wonderland4515
It must be so painful knowing you’re dying and writing a song about it and sing it. He truly went out as a star ❤️
@spongebobslesserknownbroth9769
A blackstar
@vikingfyi
A black star / blackstar is both what you call a dying star (planet), but also it's a cancer lesion...
@lunarvision
One of the most beautiful and moving videos ever.
