Joy Division - Heart & Soul

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun,
Soulless and bent on destruction,
A struggle between right and wrong.
You take my place in the showdown,
I'll observe witha pitiful eye,
And humbly ask for forgiveness,
A request well beyond you and I.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

An abyss that laughs at creation,
A circus complete with all fools,
Foundations that lasted the ages,
Then ripped apart at their roots.
Beyond all this good is the terror,
The grip of a mercenary hand,
When savagery turns all good reason,
There's no turning back, no last stand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
One will burn, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

i can't even.....where is the talent today? did we have a golden age and now we're relenquished to live in American Idol hell?

@discokidx1 The music from this last decade may be better than any decade of the 20th century before. We are living in good times for music. There is so much. Turn off the radio, look around, educate yourself. Kids, stop blaming Bieber for your ignorance. There are many bands today making great music comparable the past music greats.

When i discovered Joy Division, i thought i didn`t need to listen to anything else. That was it. THE band, THE music, THE singer. Everything came after them. Anyone else had that same feeling?

I recorded this from the radio onto a crappy little cassette recorder off a john peel session in 1980..I played it endlessly and still haven't found anything to beat joy division...still got the recording kicking around somewhere.
