[VERSE 1]
[Dm] In my darkest hours,
[Am] I could not foresee
Gm Aaug A7
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree.
[Dm] Can't believe my eyes,
[Am] how can you be so blind?
[Gm] Is the heart of stone[Dm/A] no [A]empathy inside?
[PRE-CBORUS 1]
[Bb] Time keeps on slipping away
[Dm] and we haven't learned.
[A7] So in the end, now
what[Bb] have we gained?
[CBORUS 1]
[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus! Re[Bb]deem us from our [F]solemn [C/E]hour.
[Dm]Sanctus E[Am]spiritus! In[Gm]sanity is [Bb]all a[A]round us.
[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus! Is [Bb]this what we [F]deserve,
Can [C/E]we break [Bb]free from [C]chains of never-ending ago[Dm]ny?
[VERSE 2]
[Dm] Are they themselves to blame,
[Am] the misery, the pain?
[Gm] Didn't we let [Dm/A]go, allowed it, [C]let it grow?
[Dm] If we can't restrain
[Am] the beast which dwells inside,
[Gm] it will find its way
[Dm/A] somehow, [A]somewhere in time
[PRE-CBORUS 2]
[Bb] Will we remember all
[Dm] of the suffering?
[A] 'Cause if we fail
it[Bb] will be in vain.
[CBORUS 2]
[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus! Re[Bb]deem us from our [F]solemn [C/E]hour.
[Dm]Sanctus E[Am]spiritus! In[Gm]sanity is [Bb]all a[A]round us.
[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus! Is [Bb]this what we [F]deserve,
Can [C/E]we break [Bb]free from [C]chains of never-ending ago[Bb]ny?

[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus
("A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.)
[Dm]Sanctus Espiritus
The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks,
[Dm]have broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line,
and strong columns of their [Bb]armoured vehicles are ravaging the open [Am]country,
[C]which for the first [Bb]day or two was without defenders.[C]
They have penetrated deeply[Bb] and spread alarm and confusion in their track."[A]
