歌词
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, oh-woah
Sanctus Espiritus, oh-woah
Sanctus Espiritus, oh-woah
Oh-woah
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
(No officer or man, no brigade or division, which grapples at close quarters with the enemy)
So in the end now what have we gained?
(Can fail to make a worthy contribution to the general result)
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 (Oh), the misery, the pain?
Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can't restrain (Oh) 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?
Oh
Oh, oh
Sanctus Espiritus, ha-ha
(A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders)
Sanctus Espiritus, ha-ha
(The enemy, by a remarkable combination of air bombings and heavily armored tanks)
"Have broken thru the French defenses, and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open countryside. There is good evidence to show that practically the whole of the specialized and mechanized forced of the enemy have been already thrown into the battle. In a solemn hour for the life of our country."
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?
