Song | The Holy Hour |
Artist | The Cure |
Album | Faith |
作曲 : Robert Smith/Laurence Tolhurst/Simon Gallup | |
作词 : Robert Smith | |
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 | |
