Within Temptation - Our solemn hour Lyrics

Sanctus Espiritus,
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus,
Insanity is all around us
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?..
