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!

Thou Shall Not Fear
Lazarus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what do you see
Asinine
Full of pride
Everything you can't deny
The bridge is burned
Nowhere to turn
Spun in a web of fear
Now it's too late
Surrender to the legion of fear
No escape
A shrouded fate
The virtue of travesty
United we stand
Divided hands
A pact of treachery
A knife in the back
The civil attack
Suppressing fire
How long will it last
This bonded past
Open fire
Take a good look at me
Tell me what do you see
Asinine
Full of pride
Everything you can't deny
No fear inside
Assault of lies
Reflected in the words you say
The antics silence
Through mirrored violence
Debt must be paid
Victimless crimes
Stuck in the lines
Engraved by your own hand
Thou Shall not fear
Your end is here
Engraved by your command
The lyrics of Lazarus's song Thou Shall Not Fear seem to be a call-out to someone who has wronged the singer, urging them to take a look at themselves and the situation they've created. The first stanza suggests that this person is in denial about their behavior, as they are "full of pride" and unwilling to admit wrongdoing. The "bridge is burned," indicating that there's no going back, and the singer is trapped in a "web of fear." The second stanza details the consequences of this person's actions - there's "no escape" from their "shrouded fate," and they are part of a "pact of treachery" where people are divided and stabbing each other in the back. The singer urges them to see the truth and surrender to the "legion of fear" that they've created.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person being addressed is "asinine" and full of themselves, denying that there's anything wrong. The next stanza touches on how damaging this attitude can be - lies and violence are "reflected in the words you say," and the person is digging their own grave by "engraving" victimless crimes "by [their] own hand." The singer reminds them that they "shall not fear" the eventual consequences of their actions - "your end is here," and it's all been done "by your command."
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a person who has created a toxic situation for themselves and those around them through their denial and arrogance. The singer is urging them to face reality and take responsibility before it's too late.
