The Holy Hour

歌词

I kneel and wait in silence 

As one by one the people slip away 

Into the night 

The quiet and empty bodies 

Kiss the ground before they pray 

Kiss the ground 

And slip away 

I sit and listen dreamlessly 

A promise of salvation makes me stay 

Then look at your face 

And feel my heart pushed in 

As all around the children play 

The games they tired of yesterday 

They play 

They play 

I stand and hear my voice 

Cry out 

A wordless scream at ancient power 

It breaks against stone 

I softly leave you crying 

I cannot hold what you devour 

The sacrifice of penance 

In the holy hour
