The fear is closing in on us Let the carnival of Cain commence We'll never see the end of days, submit to the pain We shall no longer hold the cards, shatter all rules
Hatred confronting hatred Making room for the final clash We're setting foot on a soil that once destroyed our homes Now the panic is changing side; brief shining flash
Adapting to hardships and boundaries Hung in the balance, directing our doom We have fallen prey to the lackey of death In order to paint us as invaders, we fall
Slow agony of starvation Open eruption of hostility We shall drag the world into destruction with us No prospect of peace raining down from the sky
Acoustic lead by L. Ström
Close your eyes, my friend Leave the twinge behind Close your eyes again I'll never leave you
Smug and arrogant Bound to throttle us Earning world-wide acclaim Age of diffidence
Rigidly holding out Battles of argument Men of illusion break Fall of an idol
Summoned to coup d'état Distant from the deed Fear marching with us
Retreating into delusions x 3
Spoken words by Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945:
"Nun, Volk steh auf, und Sturm brich los" "Now, People rise up, and let the Storm break loose"
These are the final words of his famous "Total War" speech delivered on 18 February 1943 in the Berlin Sportpalast.
