A carreira dos Killing Joke começou como a de qualquer banda da época: casualmente. Paul Ferguson era baterista dos Matt Stagger Band quando encontrou Jaz Coleman, ex-teclista do mesmo grupo, por acidente, tempos depois.
Juntos, resolveram formar uma banda com o Youth (baixista) e com Geordie (guitarrista). Nascia o Killing Joke.
Em 1979 fundaram uma label própria, Malicious Damage, e em outubro do mesmo ano lançam o primeiro LP, Nervous System.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

Verse (0:28)
G The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste G And finding me or them does lack accepting fate G And as the moments pass another face arrives G We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds

Verse (1:08)
G Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love G Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe G But choking on promises meant for the deal G Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn
G Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been G Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands G And through the madness through the terror we must pass G As if awaiting sunlight that may never come
G In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears G Now that i know the final conflict is within G I recognise the faces of my friends and hear the call G "Come journey, journey with me through the darkest hour"
