Our Solemn Hour

I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister

in a solemn hour for the life of our country"

No officer or man,no brigade or division,

which grapples at close quarters with the enemy,

can fail to make a worthy contribution to the general result

A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.

The enemy, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks,

have broken through the French defenses

and strong columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country......

Sanctus, espiritus

Sanctus, espiritus

Sanctus, espiritus

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 bet 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

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, ,

never-ending agony

Sanctus espiritus,

never-ending agony

Sanctus espiritus,

is this what we deserve, can we break free

from Chains of never-ending agony?
