The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

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
