Song lyrics
Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour 
(I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country.) 
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 it’s 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! 
(A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders. The Germans, by a 
remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks, have 
broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line, and strong 
columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for 
the first day or two was without defenders...) 


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 the 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?

I believe Sanctus espiritus is latin for "holy spirit"
This has become my all time fav song! I cannot believe how amazing it is.

This is one of my favorite WT songs. I love the incorporation of Churchill's speech in the background, and the latin chorus is beautiful. Sharon Den Adel's voice isn't the best, but it sounds all right here.
