I’ve put a YouTube link in the URL with a timestamp. The song in question has lyrics talking about “[inheriting a] troubled land” or something like that. It’s clearly a sampling of some recording. When I first put this into a search engine, I got religious results. Now I don’t get anything. Does anyone know what the lyrics mean?

New Order’s Blue Monday was released on 7 March 1983, and its cutting-edge electronic groove changed pop music forever. But what would it have sounded like if it had been made 50 years earlier? In a special film, using only instruments available in the 1930s - from the theremin and musical saw to the harmonium and prepared piano - the mysterious Orkestra Obsolete present this classic track as you’ve never heard it before.
