"Our Solemn Hour" lyrics

Our Solemn Hour

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

Sanctus Espiritus
Sanctus Espiritus

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?
