i - Hot Sands of Bethany, 33 A.D. (Asleep)

Lazarus of Bethany considered himself a man of simple thoughts, and simple things. But also he always considered to himself that he had some destiny, that he was someone with a special purpose. One day he had a dream, where he was wandering alone over the hills near his home. Unhappy because he was alive, after being resurrected by his friend Jesus of Nazareth, to testify His miracle. Unhappy, because during the short period that he was dead, he encountered his soul mate at the Parnasum, and they found completeness in their love. But at a sudden, he was resurrected, finding himself in the cold grave where his body was left. Devastated in this nightmare, he waked up, sobbing.
The days that followed showed a very different man, haunted by that dream, perhaps more than a dream.

ii - Far From The Grave (The Journey)

John, 11:1-14
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
His sisters sent unto him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.”
When Jesus heard that, he said: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God,
that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.” Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Then after that saith he to his disciples: “Let us go into Judaea again.” His disciples say unto him:
Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?”
Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.”
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples: “Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.” Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.”

iii - Soulmates in Parnassum (Death After Life)

(a) Uncertainty
(Instrumental)

(b) Arrival
Once there,
He recovers his senses again
At the end of the journey,
Time seems to have stopped

And now,
In that strange place, he wants to be sure
If those forms of life he sees
Are real or not

He’s dead
But somehow he feels good
Someone comes near
And Lazarus exults:

Lazarus:
"My love, am I still alive?
How did I get here?
In this place full of lights
You’re the brightest of all
Many nights have I dreamed of you
Many tears have I shed
Now at last my handcuffs
Have all been dissolved"

(c) Happiness
(Instrumental)

(d) Fulfillness
Lazarus:

"Excited
Contented
I see my Self."

Lazarus’ beloved: 

"Built by the sands of time
Our love still grows - eternal flame
Someday I feel
We shall be joined as one"

Lazarus: 

"So freely
So plainly
We see our souls"

Beloved:

"How can we be so sure
If life seems far to be understood
Much wider than our vision can embrace?"

(e) Resignation
Beloved:

"Keep inside your ecstasy
You must be very strong
Your people is waiting for you
They have to see you alive
For this is the way their minds
They shall see the power of God.
"

Lazarus and Beloved:
"They shall see the power of God"


Lazarus:
"If these words I'm hearing now
Match the plans of God
It won’t be easy
To accept my fate
Oh, why did He choose me?"

----------

iv - The Return (Life After Death)

Lazarus:
"Why me?
Out of a billion souls
Am I the chosen one?
An after-death, an after-life
Just to testify the Son of Man

I can see
Very clearly now
My destiny at last

To be a part
Of some bigger plan
Pursuing my quest

Like a tiny piece
Of a puzzle
I must do my best

To find out
What’s my role
In this play

It's cold
I feel so bad in this dark grave
From the deep of the cave
My body rises once more

You all!
Now you got me back to this world again
My beloved, I miss so much
But now I know how to find her

Maybe today I'm very sad
With everything that in this world I see
But now that I knew the other side
All the things are clear to me

Life goes on and on - it never ends
That’s the way it has to be
And the Cords of Life
Keep weaving forever"
