| 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 | |

| Excerpt from the song meanings |
| [01:24.352] | 我跪下,沉寂中等待 |
| [01:32.809] | 人群经过 |
| [01:40.625] | 直至夜深 |
| [01:44.494] | 缄默空洞的躯壳 |
| [01:50.085] | 在祈祷前亲吻大地 |
| [01:54.214] | 亲吻地面 |
| [01:55.604] | 然后离开 |
| [02:22.753] | 我坐下,无念聆听 |
| [02:31.296] | 救赎的承诺使我留下 |
| [02:38.364] | 然后看向你的脸 |
| [02:42.850] | 心又揪起来 |
| [02:48.094] | 孩子在周围嬉戏 |
| [02:52.136] | 他们昨日就厌倦的游戏 |
| [02:58.114] | 还在玩着 |
| [03:04.506] | 一直玩着 |
| [03:21.197] | 我站起来听见 |
| [03:26.860] | 我的大叫 |
| [03:29.756] | 无言的嘶吼直指远古 |
| [03:37.131] | 撞向石头 |
| [03:41.300] | 我起身留你一人哭泣 |
| [03:46.188] | 我无法承受你的吞噬 |
| [03:50.532] | 这赎罪的牺牲 |
| [03:54.363] | 在这神圣一刻 |
