Endzeit Lyrics
And no one, just no one, no one will break this frontline
We are, we are, we are the final ones
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
Driven by your hate evoked in us
No one will surrender
A storm will break the silence
This storm will break the silence
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
Your end is our triumph and the day will come
A reign of terror, a life of horror, nothing will remain
A promise to the fallen we make them feel our pain
A promise to the felons, you'll never rise again
We'll take it back, we'll take it all back
Your end is our triumph and the day will come
A promise to the fallen we make them feel our pain
A promise to the felons, you'll never rise again
And no one, just no one, no one will break this frontline
We are, we are, we are the final ones
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
Well, maybe it has to do with facism or religion but I think it refers to politics. First you have to know the person there next to Bush, Mr. Schäuble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Sch%C3%A4uble Then you'll recognize that it has a lot do with losing civil rights and turning Germany into a surveillance state. Endzeit: "To me this is the soundtrack to when our governments try to take ALL of our rights away and we, the people, take back our rights by force" Thats what it's to me, too. Anyway, I love this song and the video.
"Endzeit" translates as something like the apocalypse... the time when everything comes to an end... a time where no escape is possible anymore, you have to face your guilt and stand up for what you believe in.
I may be totally wrong, but to me these lyrics sound like a call to arms for everyone who means to stand up against fascism. Which is terribly on the rise again, in Germany.
"A promise to the felons, you'll never rise again" - the Nazis and Neo-Nazis who haunt Germany again will be fought back, they'll have no chance to dominate this country ever again.
As I said, I might be totally wrong. But Heaven Shall Burn are really big in terms af antifascist resistance activities, and (neo-) fascists really are a big problem especially in Eastern Germany, where the band is coming from... so to me, this interpretation makes sense.
Apart from that: a fucking great song ;) Totally blows you away.
Endzeit translates into "Miracles"

No, it doesn't. At all. believe me, I'm german.

It literally translates to "end time". In religious terms it can mean "last days" or "eschaton".

This song could be linked to present events taking place in the political world. If you are aware of our surroundings, you can see that slowly our rights are being taken away via the Patriot Act, et all. To me this is the soundtrack to when our governments try to take ALL of our rights away and we, the people, take back our rights by force. The government serves the people, not the other way around.
Sorry jallton56..
But i tend to disagree on the basis of the song "Architects of the Apocalypse"
"To me this is the soundtrack to when our governments try to take ALL of our rights away and we, the people, take back our rights by force" AGREE.
It seems to me like this is true, and that the government are trying to take away to many rights, like mentioned above, so "terrorists" are fighting back; "we are the final resistance" "Driven by your hate evoked in us" "This vengeance is justice and justice will be done Your end is our triumph and the day will come".
As already mentioned by todaystomorrow ENDZEIT (end time) refers to the last days of earth. But I wouldnt go as far as todaystomorrow and say this song only aims for the destruction of fascism. It might though - in an indirect way. But you gotta keep in mind that Iconoclast (the album) tells the story of warriors - 123 warriors avenging God for he was killed by all of us.. And this song's about their rise. They rise and make us pay for all our crimes..(which includes fascism)
Anyway: the story is written down in the booklet..for anyone who bought the album ;)
The track itself is just pure fucking awesomeness, especially the fade from the intro into Endzeit. Couldnt get any better.
agree, i think so as well it's about settling with the history, nazis etc
but there is an other vision in video to this song - we see there g.bush and one another politician, that i cant recognize
to me this song has alt of meaning they sound satanic but there not i believe that this song endzeit (end days) has to do with more of tha end times stated in revaltions like how we are tha final resistance and that we have to try to stand up to tha devil in his rein of darkness over tha earth and that its a statment showin how his rein of so called terror will only last for so long , due to gos return cause tha band seems anti chrish but there not there name seems offensive but its not meant to be like there "heaven shall burn" is refferred to people false interpretation of "heaven" and that that false interpretation should burn that we should open our eyes and see things for what they truely are to find tha real meaning of "heaven" so i think that this so called "death metl, anti-god band" isn't evil at all and that its a way for them to try to reach to those who aren;t "believers" in god
the video supports dmbrngr's interpretation. but there is another one: conservation or the fight against the exploitation of earth's nature. the "in a dying world, we are the final resistance" shirts support this second way to interprete this song. i think both meanings fit - that makes the song even better!
In essence, this song is about bringing down corrupt governments and rising up in some sort of anarchist revolution. A lot of melodeath bands have similar ideologies, Arch Enemy for example. Apparently, the band stated that there's an underlying abstract concept on the "Iconoclast" albums that revolves around God being killed, and his followers hunting down and killing his murderers. But I suspect that's just a metaphor of some kind.
