As the opener for "Faith," the album in which Robert Smith wrote about when the band's relatives were dropping like flies, this song deals with the death, and a lot to do with repentance for sins.
"promise for salvation"
"wordless scream at ancient power" = prayer to God
"cannot hold what you devour" = God taking souls/lives
The Holy Hour could very well be the last hour we have to live.
