Our Solemn Hour Lyrics - The Heart Of Everything - Within Temptation

Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour 

Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us 

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? 

("A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders. The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks, have broken through the French defences north of the Maginot Line, and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for the first day or two was without defenders. They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and confusion in their track.")
