Gestapo 666 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hail Gestapo

Black Gestapo Metal Holocaust has began
The Eagle spreads it′s Black Wings of Death
The Swastika rotating in reverse towards the Abyss
This is the Night when Suffering will Commence

Hail Satan

Hail Gestapo

When the Moon rises to reveal the Silhouette
Of the Barbwire fence behind which human Life Ends

Where Torments and Experiments are Cruelest of all
This is the Morbid creation of Satan's Gestapo.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gestapo 666's song "Hail Gestapo" are gruesome and disturbing, and paint a picture of a horrific and violent world. The opening lines talk about the beginning of a "Black Gestapo Metal Holocaust," in which the Eagle (symbolizing power and dominance) spreads its "Black Wings of Death." The use of the swastika, rotating in reverse towards the Abyss, adds to the unsettling imagery evoked by the lyrics. The following line, "This is the Night when Suffering will Commence," further emphasizes the sense of impending doom.

The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrases "Hail Satan, Hail Gestapo," is deeply disturbing. It seems to be calling for the glorification of the Gestapo, a notoriously violent and oppressive organization responsible for countless atrocities during World War II. The next section of the lyrics paints a vivid picture of a concentration camp, with its barbed wire fences and the human suffering that occurs within it. The final line, "This is the Morbid creation of Satan's Gestapo," suggests that the horrors inflicted by the Gestapo are somehow part of a larger, evil plan.
