Lyrics: An idea in itself
Music: Lay
I wonder of these disturbing elements in me; I've proselytized my dream for the people.
With these eyes, I've seen everything: frozen sky, burnt earth.
Realize Realize Realize Realize
Suddenly, in the midst of total control, I feel horrible. "Words cannot wipe away evil."
Led by nihilist ideology[*], I've sacrificed everything for my dream.

Inside thick fallen ash and black rain, I will impose my world
And soon, even this city will be enveloped by the sound of howling sirens
I wonder of these disturbing elements in me; I convulse with this endless world
I saw rising smoke years ago, and was able to laugh like my grandfather.
Inside thick fallen ash and black rain, I will impose my world
And soon, even I will be enveloped by the sound of howling sirens
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten Feuertrunken
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt[**]

I wonder of these disturbing elements in me; now, everyone looks upon me
Under the bars of sunlight is the figure of death's charisma
Realize Realize Realize Realize
Inside thick fallen ash and black rain, I will impose my world
And soon, strange sounds and outcries will be drowned out by the sound of howling sirens
Hidden in the sky are dreams and sins. Some day, I'll rest on that bed of roses [***].
Inside the thick fallen ash and black rain, even I have cast off my self-respect.

[*] Hitler was known to be a Nihilist
[**] This is part of Friedrich Schiller's text, "Ode An die Freude" or "Ode to Joy," for Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. This was always played at Hitler's birthday parties. Thank you very much Kibou for giving us the German text and an idea about what it meant. An English, French, and Spanish version of Ode An die Freude is available here.
[***] Interesting to note that there was a student Hitler resistance group known as 'The White Rose'
