Our Solemn Hour

I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister
In a solemn hour for the life of our country, of our empire
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 armoured tanks
Have broken through the French defences
And strong columns of their armoured vehicles
Are ranking the open country

There is good evidence to show
That practically the whole of the specialised
And mechanised forces of the enemy
Have been already thrown into the battle
In a solemn hour for the life of our country

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 a heart of stone, no empathy inside
Time keeps on slipping away, and we haven't learned
So, 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?

Are they themselves to blame the misery, the pain?
Didn't we let go, allow it, let it grow?
If you can't restrain the beast which dwells inside
It will find its way somehow, somewhere in time
For 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 armoured tanks) Sanctus Espiritus
Woo!

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) it's all around me (Sanctus Espiritus)
It's all around me (Sanctus Espiritus)
Is this what we deserve?
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
