The Cure - The Holy Hour lyrics
I kneel and wait in silence
 I kneel and wait in silence
 As one by one the people slip away
 As one by one the people slip away
 Into the night
 Into the night
 The quiet and empty bodies
 The quiet and empty bodies
 Kiss the ground before they pray
 Kiss the ground before they pray
 Kiss the ground
 Kiss the ground
 And slip away
 And slip away
 I sit and listen dreamlessly
 I sit and listen dreamlessly
 A promise of salvation makes me stay
 A promise of salvation makes me stay
 Then look at your face
 Then look at your face
 And feel my heart pushed in
 And feel my heart pushed in
 As all around the children playThe Cure - The Holy Hour - http://motolyrics.com/the-cure/the-holy-hour-lyrics.html
 As all around the children play
 The games they tired of yesterday
 The games they tired of yesterday
 They play
 They play
 They play
 They play
 I stand and hear my voice
 I stand and hear my voice
 Cry out
 Cry out
 A wordless scream at ancient power
 A wordless scream at ancient power
 It breaks against stone
 It breaks against stone
 I softly leave you crying
 I softly leave you crying
 I cannot hold what you devour
 I cannot hold what you devour
 The sacrifice of penance
 The sacrifice of penance
 In the holy hour
 In the holy hour
