[Verse 1]
From Weimar's chaos rose a man
With speeches burning through the land
Charismatic voice that drew the crowd
Made the quiet millions loud
Austria's failed artist found his stage
Turned resentment into rage
Economic crisis paved the way
For darker promises each day
[Chorus]
Race and state and total war
Biopolitics at the core
Genocidal logic spread
Through the language that they fed
Mnemonic: R-S-T-B-G-L
Remember fascism's deepest hell
Race and state and total war
This is what we're studying for
[Verse 2]
Klemperer watched the words transform
How language shapes the social norm
LTI showed how speech became
A weapon in the Nazi game
Every phrase and every term
Made the population squirm
Into patterns of control
Reshaping every German soul
[Chorus]
Race and state and total war
Biopolitics at the core
Genocidal logic spread
Through the language that they fed
Mnemonic: R-S-T-B-G-L
Remember fascism's deepest hell
Race and state and total war
This is what we're studying for
[Bridge]
Kershaw traced the leader's rise
Through the myths and through the lies
Charismatic authority
Built on racial purity
From the putsch to crystal night
Democratic death in sight
Total war consumed the state
Sealed humanity's dark fate
[Verse 3]
Racialized biopolitics
Life and death through ethnic tricks
Who deserves to breathe and live
What the master race could give
Genocidal logic clear
Systematic engineered fear
Final solution was the goal
Murder of the human soul
[Chorus]
Race and state and total war
Biopolitics at the core
Genocidal logic spread
Through the language that they fed
Mnemonic: R-S-T-B-G-L
Remember fascism's deepest hell
Race and state and total war
This is what we're studying for
[Outro]
Study Hitler, study well
Learn the signs before they swell
German fascism shows the way
Democracy can fade away
Never forget, always know
How the darkest chapters grow
