Lyrics

Our solemn hour

Sanctus espiritus! redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus! insanity is all around us
("I speak to you for the first time as prime minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country")

Sanctus espiritus!
Sanctus espiritus!
Sanctus espiritus!

In my darkest hours
I could not foresee
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can't believe my eyes
How can you be so blind?
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?

Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end now what have we gained?

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve?
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?

Are they themselves to blame
The misery, the pain?
Didn't we let go?
Allowed it,let it grow
If we can't restrain
The beast which dwells inside
It will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time

Will we remember all of the suffering
'Cause if we fail it will be in vain

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve?
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?

Sanctus espiritus!
Sanctus espiritus!
(" a tremendous battle is raging in france and flanders. the germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks, have broken through the french defenses north of the maginot line, and strong columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for the first day or two was without defenders...")

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve?
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony? (ending agony!)

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour (solemn hour!)
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us (all aroun us!)
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve?
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
