| 作词 : Gallup, Smith, Tolhurst | |
| 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 | |
