The Holy Hour

I kneel and wait in silence
我跪下，沉寂中等待
As one by one the people slip away
人群經過
Into the night
直至夜深
The quiet and empty bodies
緘默空洞的軀殼
Kiss the ground before they pray
在祈禱前親吻大地
Kiss the ground
親吻地面
And slip away
然後離開

我坐下，無念聆聽
I sit and listen dreamlessly
救贖的承諾使我留下
A promise of salvation makes me stay
然後看向你的臉
Then look at your face
心又揪起來
And feel my heart pushed in
孩子在周圍嬉戲
As all around the children play
他們昨日就厭倦的遊戲
The games they tired of yesterday
還在玩著

一直玩著
They play
我站起來聽見
They play
我的大叫

無言的嘶吼直指遠古
I stand and hear my voice
撞向石頭
Cry out
我起身留你一人哭泣
A wordless scream at ancient power
我無法承受你的吞噬
It breaks against stone
這贖罪的犧牲
I softly leave you crying
在這神聖一刻
I cannot hold what you devour
