AmFG Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour AmFG Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us AmFG Sanctus Espiritus! AmFG Sanctus Espiritus! AmFGDmGEmAm Sanctus Espiritus!
AmEm In my darkest hours I could not foresee DmG That the tide could turn so fast to this degree Am Can´t believe my eyes Em How can you be so blind? DmG Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside? DmEm Time keeps on slipping away and we haven´t learned DmEm So in the end now what have we gained?
AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve, DmGAm can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
AmEm Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain? DmG Didn´t we let go, allowed it, let it grow? AmEm If we can´t restrain the beast which dwells inside DmG it will find it´s way somehow, somewhere in time DmEm Will we remember all of the suffering DmEm Cause if we fail it will be in vain
AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us AmFG Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve, DmGAm can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
