Passover (the Version From The Album `closer`) Lyrics

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 its 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 what they teach 

Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more 

And watch as they drop by the beach



This is a 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
