Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
(I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister,)
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
(In a solemn hour for the life of our country, of our empire.)
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 its 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
(A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.)
Sanctus espiritus
(The Germans, 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. Practically the whole of the specialized and mechanized forces of the enemy have been already thrown into the battle.)
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, 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?
