I do not own Percy Jackson or Our Solemn Hour by Within Temptation.
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
I want to scream at the gods. Can't they see us here, suffering? All around us it's insanity. Why don't they save us?
In my darkest hours I could not forsee
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
Even when I was so depressed I wanted to die, I couldn't see this coming. I never thought that the tide could turn so fast. I never thought that Luke could change so much. Sometimes I don't think it's real. But I know it is. Zeus, can't you see this? Can't you see what they're doing to your daughter? And Poseidon, your son? Athena, your daughter? Hermes, can't you see what the monster you made is doing to us? How can you be so blind? Do you have any empathy? Or are your hearts made of stone?
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end 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
I feel the freezing tears slip silently down my cheeks. Why can't they see us? Please, please save us, save us all. All the captives. Thalia. I can still see her when Luke ran a knife down her leg, cutting deep into the flesh. I can still hear her screams. What did we do? Do we really deserve this? Can we break away from this madness?
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
Thalia doesn't blame them, though. She says that the gods gave up on Luke, forced him to become this way. Maybe that's true, but still, we don't deserve this. She doesn't deserve this, this torture, by someone who was like her brother.
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
I am chained to a wall, watching Thalia on the floor. Luke is kneeling over her. He's torturing her, burning her, breaking her fingers, and there's a long, deep gash in her stomach. I want to help her, I need to make sure she's alright. But I can't. I'm forced to watch as Luke, her once best friend, tortures her, and laughs when she screams.
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, 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
Why don't they hear us? Why don't they hear our screams, why won't the gods save us from these chains of agony? Do we deserve this? No, I should have known. The gods don't care about us. Luke is right. But after what he's done to Thalia, to Annabeth, to Percy, to me, I won't ever tell him that. I will break free from these chains, and then I'll make the gods pay for what they made us endure.
For anyone who has seen the movie Thor and loves Loki as much as I do, there is a great Loki tribute on Youtube with this song. For anyone who hasn't seen Thor, you really should, because it's one of the best movies ever, almost as good as Phantom of the Opera.
