Our Solemn Hour Lyrics Artist(Band):Within Temptation
Sanctus Espiritus! redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus Espiritus! insanity is all around us ("I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country") 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 from chains of never-ending agony? (ending agony!) Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour (solemn hour!) Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us (all around us!) Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve? Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony? If you find some error in Our Solemn Hour Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

Review about Our Solemn Hour Emotion | Reviewer: aohisakuchan@yahoo.com | 11/8/2008 I first heard this song on an AMV on YouTube and I thought: "That is just awesome! I need to find it!" As a huge music enthusiast as well as pianist and flutist, I felt absolutely inspired by that song. Incredible song! | Reviewer: NekoMimi | 9/28/2008 This is one of the songs that deserves a palce in history as a beautiful, meaningful melody! It has an amazing melody and emotional lyrics we can all learn from. As a symphonic metal songrwter and singer myself, I know I'll never beat Within Temptation when it comes down to being a simply incredible peice of music. I see them as an inspration to the world of music and truly talented artists. Amazing! | Reviewer: Wren | 8/2/2008 Not only are all the members of the band incredibly talented musically, I'm repeatedly stunned by their talents lyrically. This song is AMAZING, along with all the other songs on this album (the others too). The meaning behind the songs and the lessons we could learn from this one in particular are great, as well. I think that's a lot of what makes this band so awesome. Beautiful. | Reviewer: Mina | 7/16/2008 Our Solemn Hour is a masterpiece. Because of its surreal lyrics and breathtaking music, this song should be revered throughout history. And the singing? Ijust might steal Sharon away someday! ^_^ Should be a worldwide hit by now | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/2008 Sharon and the band really outdid themselves with "Our Solemn Hour". The battles in Flanders Fields raged in WWI (A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders...)but I prefer to think it's a song about both WWI and WWII. The first verse represents WWI, the second, WWII (at least in to me). The first verse shows the shock that overtakes any country when they are shoved into war, as Great Britain, the USA and other Allied powers were in WWI. The second shows the incredulity of WWII soldiers storming Germany and seeing the terible persecution against many different peoples there, i. e. Jewish people, Christian people, people with mental issues such as insanity, or disabled people. I love the words: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.... It's a warning to us. Will we remember the bloodshed-of innocents and conspirators alike and on both sides? Will we remember the casualtis of past wars? Will we remember it? Can we restrain the bad/evil within ourselves? If we do not, it will show itself in one way or another-acts, thoughts, words, deeds. "If we can't restrain the beat that dwells inside, it WILL find its way, somehow, somewhere in time...." Sanctus Espiritus! | Reviewer: Seth | 2/1/2008 Sanctus is latin for "holy", while Espiritus is latin for "breath", or more roughly "life" or "spirit". So it basically means Holy Spirit. So the song's about the victims of the war attack calling out to God, and the battle between good and evil that rages inside ourselves (If we can't restrain the best which dwells inside/it will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time) Great song, awesome meaning, and all around beautiful. Love | Reviewer: puffin | 11/16/2007 Just seen a vidoe someone made for this song on youtube and it was great. I came here to see some of the words I could understand. Its a great song and one of my favorites by one of my favorite bands. Death-666 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/29/2007 I love this song. It's amazing./ It's one of my favs. I definetly love the whole back ground of the song also. I thing it's the best. -_-...
