grendel among the premier post-punk bands of the late seventies

along with Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure the Damned and a handful of others they would be the foundation of the subcutlure and genre known as Gothic

touching from a distance
and
hanging around our houses

Joana. Walk...in silence
Don't walk away...in silence
See the danger...always danger
Endless talking...life rebuilding
Don't walk away

Walk...in silence
Don't turn away...in silence
Your confusion...my illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away

People like you...find it easy
Aching to see...walking on air
Hunting by rivers, through the streets every corner,
Abandoned too soon

Set down with due care
Don't walk away...in silence
Don't walk away

birdmad the above explanation was part of why some people thought that the band were fascists in their early career

changing their name to New_Order upon reforming after Ian Curtis committed suicide caused renewed fears about such matters a few years later
