Rise of Evil

Sabaton · Attero Dominatus (Re-Armed Edition) [2010]

A nation in despair

Weakened by war defeated

Lost their pride in Versailles

A former prisoner with a vision or delusion

Rise to power in the reich



Rebuilding an army

Make the nation proud

Disregarding the treaty

Secret plans for lebensraum

Start the holocaust



The reich will rise

Propaganda the reich will rise

To last a thousand years



Burning books to spread anti-semite propaganda

Who will stop the madmans reign

Night of broken glass send the Jews to Dachau death camp

On a path to certain death



The anschluss completed

On the brink of war

Act brutal with no pity

Be harsh show no remorse

Start the warmachine



The reich will rise

Propaganda the reich will rise

To last a thousand years



I see the evil rising

The rise of evil



In the last days of peace

Europe holding it's breath

An invasion is coming but when will it start

Who will be first to fall

Who will be last to stand

Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no man understand

No man

No land



Start the holocaust

The reich will rise

Propaganda the reich will rise

To last a thousand years



I see an eagle rising

The rise of evil
