Day of the Lords
Joy Division Lyrics


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? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

These are your friends from childhood, through youth
Who goaded you on, demanded more proof
Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? 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? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

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

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

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? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
These are your friends from childhood, through youth,
Who goaded you on, demanded more proof,
Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in,
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin.
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? 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? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
This is the room, the start of it all,
Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all,
Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain.
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

A lot of metalheads took a liking to Joy Division. The dark urban Northern English sense of despair they evoked seemed similar to Black Sabbath in a way. This song always had a very doom metal feeling. Neurosis also did a good cover.

Andrew Werdna

As an American listening it felt like a cold journey to the center of all the horrible ancestral memories of mankind. Like a cold voice completely isolated

couldnt agree more im a big fan of black sabbath and doom metal and even black and death metal but i still think that joy division is one of the best bands

"Where will it end" for me is something i quote. I wanted to add also that this album covor has been redesigned multiple times.

Pierrig

True, I'm here because of the advice of Randy Blythe in a video speaking of non-Metal albums that metalheads should listen to

nice garry

The violent guitar chords, the slow doomy bassline, the intense drumming, to cap it all off... Ians nihilistic lyrics, sounding as if he is in so much emotional pain.

A masterpiece.
