Joy Division - Passover lyrics

This is a crisis I knew had to come

Destroying the balance I'd kept

Doubting, unsettling and turning around

Wondering what will come next

Is this the role that you wanted to live?

I was foolish to ask for so much

Without the protection and infancy's guard

It all falls apart at first touch

Watching the reel as it comes to a close

Brutally taking its time

People who change for no reason at all

It's happening all of the time

Can I go on with this train of events?

Disturbing and purging my mind

Back out of my duties, when all's said and done

I know that I'll lose every time

Moving along in our god-given ways

Safety is sat by the fire

Sanctuary from these feverish smiles

Left with a mark on the door

Is this the gift that I wanted to give?

Forgive and forget what they teach

Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more

And watch as they drop by the beach

This is a crisis I knew had to come

Destroying the balance I'd kept

Turning around to the next set of lives

Wondering what will come next
