[The Cure - The Holy Hour lyrics]
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
