Day of the Lords Songtext

von Joy Division

This is the room, the start of it all
No portrait so fine - only sheets on the wall
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end? --

These are your friends, from childhood through youth
Who goaded you on, demanded full proof
Withdrawal pain's hard - it can do you right in
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin
Where will it end? --

This is the car at the edge of the road
There's nothing disturbed - all the windows are closed
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat
There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak
Where will it end? --

This is the room, the start of it all
Through childhood, through youth, I remember it all
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end? --
