Intro: Am  Em  (4x) 

 Am   Em             Am       Em 
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 

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
