The Holy Hour Paroles

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


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
