Our Solemn Hour

[00:03.29] I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister
[00:06.47] In a solemn hour for the life of our country, of our empire
[00:08.83] No officer or man, no brigade or division
[00:10.84] Which grapples at close quarters with the enemy
[00:12.14] Can fail to make a worthy contribution to the general result
[00:13.47] A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders
[00:15.45] The enemy, by a remarkable combination
[00:18.50] Of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks
[00:19.18] Have broken through the French defences
[00:19.84] And strong columns of their armoured vehicles
[00:20.16] Are ranking the open country
[00:21.11] There is good evidence to show
[00:22.17] That practically the whole of the specialised
[00:23.19] And mechanised forces of the enemy
[00:23.81] Have been already thrown into the battle
[00:24.77] In a solemn hour for the life of our country
[00:25.11] Sanctus Espiritus
[00:26.16] Sanctus Espiritus
[00:27.45] Sanctus Espiritus
[00:36.35] In my darkest hours, I could not foresee
[00:41.88] That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
[00:46.87] Can't believe my eyes, how can you be so blind?
[00:52.54] Is a heart of stone, no empathy inside
[00:58.28] Time keeps on slipping away, and we haven't learned
[01:07.98] So, if we fail, it will be in vain
[01:08.68] Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
[01:15.23] Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
[01:19.64] Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve?
[01:25.29] Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
[01:31.86] Are they themselves to blame the misery, the pain?
[01:38.52] Didn't we let go, allow it, let it grow?
[01:43.88] If you can't restrain the beast which dwells inside
[01:50.22] It will find its way somehow, somewhere in time
[01:55.87] For we remember all of the suffering
[02:01.81] 'Cause if we fail, it will be in vain
[02:05.28] Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
[02:11.53] Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
[02:16.27] Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve?
[02:20.26] Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
[02:49.72] Sanctus Espiritus (a tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders)
[02:55.09] Sanctus Espiritus (the Germans, by a remarkable combination)
[02:58.73] (Of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks) Sanctus Espiritus
[03:20.22] Woo!
[03:21.27] Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
[03:28.42] Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
[03:33.53] Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve?
[03:37.55] Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony? (Sanctus Espiritus)
[03:43.53] (Redeem us from our solemn hour) it's all around me (Sanctus Espiritus)
[03:49.89] It's all around me (Sanctus Espiritus)
[03:57.09] Is this what we deserve?
[03:59.50] Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
[04:13.77] こんにちは
[04:14.46] How are you, Tokyo?
