[VERSE 1]
Dm
In my darkest hours,
Am
I could not foresee
GmAaugA7
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree.

how can you be so blind?

[VERSE 2]
Dm
Are they themselves to blame,
Am
the misery, the pain?
GmDm/AC
Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
Dm
If we can't restrain
Am
the beast which dwells inside,
Gm
it will find its way
Dm/AA
somehow, somewhere in time
[PRE-CHORUS 2]

Will we remember all
Dm
of the suffering?

'Cause if we fail

it will be in vain.

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,
BbAm
and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open country,
CBbC
which for the first day or two was without defenders.
BbA
They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and confusion in their track."
