Atrocity Exhibition - Joy Division

The silence when doors open wide

Where people could pay to see inside

For entertainment they watch

His body twist

Behind his eyes he says I still exist

This is the way, step inside (4)

In arenas he kills for a prize

Wins a minute to add to his life

But the sickness is drowned

By cries for more

Pray to God make it quick — watch him fall

This is the way, step inside (4)

This is the way (4) This is the way,

Step inside

You’ll see the horrors of a far-away place

Meet the architects of law

Face to face

See mass murder on a scale

You’ve never seen

And all the ones who tried hard

To succeed

This is the way, step inside (4)

And I picked on the whims of A thousand more

Still pursuing the path

That’s been buried

For years of dead woods and jungles and

Cities on fire, can’t replace

Or relate,

Can’t release or repair —

Take my hand,

And I’ll show you what was — it will be.
