Passover by Joy Division

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 it's 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's what they teach,
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more,
And watch as they drop by the beach.

This is the 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.
