LYRICS FOR "The Holy Hour"
I kneel and wait in silence
As one by one the people slip away
Into the night
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
I stand and hear my voice cry out
A wordless scream at ancient power
It breaks against stone
I cannot hold what you devour
The sacrifice of penance in the holy hour
