Guilty of Greed
Holochaust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secrets will no more hide
You may not believe it but somehow I'm sure I can deal with it.
The voice in my head stronger that before:
"Maybe we could live forever
If we knew what they did tell
There is nothing more I can read
There is nothing more to sell..."
Secrets I'll find?
Beast within I feed
The world left behind
With glory I bleed
To death by my greed
Fame I feel, cannot stay
The lust will breed, my birds of pray
Is reason to seek more important than saving my destiny?
I found what I came here for
Still all is lost
My fate to live and die here
Too much for cost
No way for turning back now
Too late to see
I take my final breath and
Just let it be
The child in me, has ran too far
Lost my ways, the end of days
The voice in my head says: 'i never can I never will have chance again"
"I don't want to live forever
I don't want to hear me cry
There is nothing more I can be
I'm a thief and I must die"
The beginning of the song describes someone searching for secrets in a pyramid, potentially looking for the key to immortality. The voice in their head is telling them that they are capable of dealing with whatever they may find, and that information is worth more than anything else. However, the cost of this search is steep, and the singer is driven by their greed, leading them to become a beast who leaves the rest of the world behind.
As they continue their search, they begin to feel the weight of their actions and question whether their pursuit of knowledge is worth sacrificing their own destiny. In the end, they find what they were looking for, but realize that it was too costly and that they cannot turn back from what they have done. They lament the loss of their childhood innocence and acknowledge that they must face the consequences of their actions.

Searching in pyramid
I am looking for something that has been hidden away
Secrets will no more hide
The secrets I am searching for will be revealed
You may not believe it but somehow I'm sure I can deal with it.
I am confident that I can handle whatever I find
The voice in my head stronger that before:
My desire to uncover the secrets is stronger than ever
"Maybe we could live forever
If we knew what they did tell
There is nothing more I can read
There is nothing more to sell..."
I wonder if we could live forever if we knew the secrets. However, I have reached the limit of my knowledge and there is nothing left to uncover.
Secrets I'll find?
Will I really find the secrets I am looking for?
Beast within I feed
I am satisfying my innermost desires, even if they are destructive
The world left behind
The world as I know it is fading away as I indulge in my greed
With glory I bleed
Even though it may be painful, I am willing to take risks in order to gain wealth and power
To death by my greed
My desire for riches and status will be my downfall
Fame I feel, cannot stay
Although I crave fame and admiration, it will not last forever
The lust will breed, my birds of pray
My greed will only lead to more greed, like a predator breeding a flock of birds
Is reason to seek more important than saving my destiny?
Is it worth sacrificing my future for the sake of discovering secrets?
I found what I came here for
I have finally discovered the secrets I was looking for
Still all is lost
However, I have lost everything else in the process
My fate to live and die here
I am doomed to stay here for the rest of my life and die alone
Too much for cost
The price I paid for the secrets was too high
No way for turning back now
There is no going back, I am stuck with the consequences
Too late to see
I failed to see the dangers of my greed until it was too late
I take my final breath and
I am at the end of my life
Just let it be
I must accept my fate and let go of my desires
The child in me, has ran too far
My naive and innocent nature has been lost in my greed
Lost my ways, the end of days
I have strayed from the path of righteousness, and I am facing the end of my life
The voice in my head says: 'i never can I never will have chance again"
I regret the choices I have made and I know I will never have the opportunity to change them
"I don't want to live forever
I don't want to hear me cry
There is nothing more I can be
I'm a thief and I must die"
I do not want to live forever because I am filled with regret. I have accepted that I am a thief and that my fate is death.

Not well done because the title of this video is wrong but also some claims!
Because it wasn't only one genocide, but various genocides that this nation committed. Because this nation has also committed genocides on various Slavic nations. This nation murdered the Slavic nations according to a special plan, the Master Plan for the East in German "Generalplan Ost". According to this plan, a large part of the population of the Slavic nations should be exterminated and a minority should be forced into forced labor. The areas that would then be "free" should be populated by Germans. The Slavs who were not murdered there should then serve the Germans. Altogether 30-40 millions Slavs died according to this plan. Most were murdered and a minority died in in the completely brutal wars that served to conquer the Slavic countries. So this nation not only committed the one known genocide against the Jews, but also various genocides against Slavic nations. What all genocides were according to the common definition. If one takes it completely, the attempt of a genocide is actually called genocide today. Because the Nazi nation did not really succeed in exterminating any Slavic nation. This also did not work with the Gypsies and Jews on whom genocides were also committed. In any case, it all makes it clear how completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated the Nazi nation was.
I also noted that the term Nazi is incorrect in this context. The use of the term Nazis instead of Germans actually serves to whitewash the Germans. The fact that the term Nazis is used instead of Germans has another reason that you are not even aware of. It is an advantage to clarify why the term Nazi is even used for to understand all this. It is an advantage to clarify who a Nazi even was for to understand all this. Who is referred to as Nazis by western propaganda at all in this context. All Germans? Definitely not! No, the propaganda differentiates very precisely between the evil Nazis and the other good Germans. The western pro-German propaganda including Hollywood spreads the lying myth of the few Nazis who were guilty and responsible, because it is generally concealed that the overwhelming majority of Germans since 1935 at the latest were follower and supporters of the German Nazi government, thus Nazis. So the synonym Nazi would actually be justified for this nation. BUT...the intention to use Nazis instead of German has a very specific intention. Just whitewashing of the Germans. Because from this lying western propaganda the myth is even produced that the vast majority of Germans were actually victims of the evil Nazis themselves. For this reason alone they differentiate between Germans and Nazis! The propagandists even claim that the Germans were liberated in 1945. I have read and heard that more often that the Germans were liberated. LIBERATED! As e.g. the title of this video shows. "Liberation of Munich April 30 1945" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaAMuUE1H0o The title is not the occupation of Munich by the Americans, which would correspond to historical facts. No, a lie is being spread about liberation! An unbelievable lie in which from the victory over this evil Nazi nation with the subsequent multi-annual occupation is made a LIBERATION. This is actually the end goal of that whitewashing campaign. Separating the nation from the evil Nazis and making the nation victims of the Nazis. This can also be seen from the fact that certain Germans are referred to as non-Nazis, such as Nazi general Erwin Rommel who was a willing tool of the German Nazi government and fought doggedly for the victory of this Nazi government.. If the term would be used as a synonym for all Germans, then there would be no such statement that Rommel was not a Nazi. But the Western propaganda distinguishes very conscious between the bad Nazis and the other good Germans. It is then stated that Rommel was not a member of the Nazi party and thus he was not a Nazi. Because that's the common lie that's being spread, that only the Nazi party members were Nazis. A very useful lie. But in reality the correct definition of Nazi is supporters and follower of the German Nazi government and that was the vast majority of Germans at least since 1935 thus they were all Nazis. But this historical fact is not propagated by western propaganda and instead the lie is propagated of the relatively few guilty Nazis!
Why is it done that way? Why is the lie being spread of the few Nazis who were responsible for the crimes so that most people by now say Nazis instead of the name of the really guilty nation? At first in 1945, the Americans had the right attitude regarding the Germans, as this educational film shows for the US Army. „Your Job in Germany - YouTube" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OUR5uvs9aw Then pragmatism prevailed over justice! Because after the war, the Americans believed the Germans would be useful as allies! So in the 50s, most of Germans became the ally of the West. (West Germany). The problem, however, was that this Nazi nation was completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated! The West could not be allied to a morally degenerate Nazi nation that has murdered millions of children, among other crimes. So they were practically systematically washed clean to be tolerable as allies. So they were washed clean by propaganda (Western historians / media / politicians / Hollywood etc.) and the blame was put on relatively few Nazis. Actually, their crimes are permanently relativized by Western propaganda. So the term Nazis is deliberately used by propaganda, i.e. the media, historians, etc., to differentiate between the Germans and the Nazis. It is then said that only a minority were Nazis. But this does not correspond to the historical facts, because the vast majority of Germans were followers and supporters of the German Nazi government at least since 1936, thus they were Nazis. In fact, the Nazis is actually a synonym for the entire nation, but it is definitely not used that way, by the western media and historians. A very successful propaganda! This is way also most people around the world because of this propaganda now use the term Nazis and not German in connection with the 2nd World War and the crimes. I've also been corrected by people on the internet when I reported about crimes and then wrote about Germans. Then I was corrected that it wasn't the Germans, but the Nazis. Because of the censorship it's almost impossible to write about crimes and the Germans anyway, because if you do that, the comment will be automatically deleted. This is also part of the propaganda, because YouTube is a gigantic propaganda machine. By the way, writing about Nazi crimes is no problem at all. Because of censorship here, I use the term Nazi nation mostly and not Germans. It goes without saying that I mean the entire nation. I then wrote in between that one should not forget who the Nazi nation was You can check the censorship yourself if you want. Replace the term Nazis with the name of the corresponding nation in the following sentence! "The Nazis murdered millions of children." If you write this sentence with the name of the respective nation instead of Nazis, the comment will be deleted when you leave the channel. Even though it is a historical fact that the nation was responsible, it is forbidden to write that. No historian or journalist says that either. No, they say the Nazis were responsible for all crime and the war! I could go on like this for hours and describe 1000 examples in which the Germans were separated from the Nazi guilt by Western historians / media / politicians / Hollywood etc. By the way, one also use Japan and Japanese and not the Taisei Yokusankai! Taisei Yokusanka party was the fascist party in Japan, just by the way. So It is appropriate to use the term Germans and not Nazis! The Nazis were just a political party. The war was waged against the entire nation and not just against the political party. Because of this propaganda that wants to whitewash this nation it is therefore necessary to speak / write in this context of Germans or Germany and not of Nazis or Nazi Germany! GERMANS like Japanese and not the Taisei Yokusankais! So the correct terms are Germany and the Germans and not Nazi Germany and Nazis!!!
By the way, Poles actually always say with reference to the Second World War, the German occupation, etc. GERMANS and not Nazis. Because the Poles know against whom was fought in this war. Because it was fighting the entire nation and a political party.
In the next comment I show that it's a myth that the Treaty of Versailles was to blame for WWII and the Nazi government in Germany.

what do we learn from the mistakes of the lessons taught? NOTHING because it’s nation of sovereign citizens don’t do ANYTHING to protect it from bat-shit crazy revolutionary supreme leaders of those criminal organizations. Black Lives Matter & ANTIFA are “CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS” and they promote “Transgender racial policies and wanting little boys be educated on CRT and being idolized by homosexual organizations” to think it’s ok to dress up as a woman and then pursue a sexual relationship with a minor. That is a CRIMINAL offense NOT a sexual preference. At least that’s what Adolf Hitler and his loyal supporters were trying to expose about the crimes of the Jewish people who think it was okay to have sex with children. Those criminals got sent to Dachau concentration camp and we’re massacred. Granted they didn’t get a fair trial for their crimes on children and I DO support a court system where you are “EXPOSED” for your crimes and will be sentenced for them. I don’t support or believe in barbarism and that’s “WHY” the Nuremberg trials was put on display for the Nazis of the crimes against humanity that occurred in the death camps.
