Ataraxia - Lady Lazarus Lyrics

Dying is an art like everything else

I do it exceptionally well

I do it that it feels like hell

I do it that it seems real



I guess you could say I've a call

It's easy enough to do it in a cell

It's easy enough to do it and stay put

It's theatrical, beware !



Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware !

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair

and I'll eat men like air

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair



Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware!

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair

and I'll eat men like air

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair



Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware !



[Lyrics by Sylvia Plath.]
