Our Solemn Hour - Within Temptation

[00:11.42]I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister
[00:15.75]in a solemn hour for the life of our country"
[00:18.66]
[00:22.43]No officer or man,no brigade or division,
[00:25.54]which grapples at close quarters with the enemy,
[00:28.00]can fail to make a worthy contribution to the general result
[00:31.47]
[00:34.70]A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.
[00:39.45]The enemy, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks,
[00:46.62]have broken through the French defenses
[00:49.47]and strong columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country......
[00:55.11]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:00.39]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:05.91]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:11.08]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:16.43]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:21.91]Sanctus, espiritus
[01:24.71]
[01:36.25]In my darkest hours I could not foresee
[01:41.69]That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
[01:47.11]Can\'t believe my eyes
[01:49.41]How can you be so blind
[01:52.60]Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside
[01:57.61]Time keeps on slipping away and we haven’t learned
[02:02.99]So in the end now what have we gained?
[02:08.35]Sanctus espiritus, ,
[02:10.79]redeem us from our solemn hour
[02:13.59]Sanctus espiritus,
[02:16.01]insanity is all around us
[02:19.04]Sanctus, espiritus
[02:21.53]is this what we deserve, can we break free
[02:27.06]from Chains of never-ending agony?
[02:33.18]Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?
[02:38.90]Didn’t we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
[02:44.31]If we can’t restrain the beast which dwells inside
[02:49.80]It will find it’s way somehow, somewhere in time
[02:55.22]Will we remember all of the suffering
[03:00.42]cause if we bet in vain
[03:05.57]Sanctus espiritus,
[03:07.86]redeem us from our solemn hour
[03:10.87]Sanctus espiritus,
[03:13.33]insanity is all around us
