Triumph
Will Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Onward and upward, Towards the creator,
The coiling of serpents, The circling of ravens,
Our blackened souls, Spirit and temper,
Writhing in hatred, Is nothing sacred?
Flood of fire, siege of souls, Toil or tire, time still tolls,
In the seat of the scournful, In the council of the ungodly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Will's song 'Triumph' depict a challenging and powerful journey towards reaching the creator. The coiling of serpents and the circling of ravens symbolize the obstacles and difficulties that one might encounter during this journey. The blackened souls represent the darkness and evil that we carry within ourselves, and our spirit and temper are always in conflict with each other. The lyrics ask the question, "Is nothing sacred?" which could be interpreted as a reflection on the current state of society, where all values and morals seem to be lost.

The flood of fire and siege of souls are metaphors for the challenges and struggles that we face in our lives. The lyrics suggest that no matter what we do, time still tolls, reminding us of the fleeting nature of life. The seat of the scornful and the council of the ungodly represent the negative influences in our lives that try to steer us away from our path towards the creator.

Overall, the lyrics of 'Triumph' are a powerful reminder of the obstacles that we face in our journey towards reaching our goals, and the importance of perseverance and determination in overcoming them.

Line by Line Meaning

Onward and upward, Towards the creator,
Let us strive towards improving ourselves, reaching new heights on our journey to understanding the divine.

The coiling of serpents, The circling of ravens,
Nature's creatures are drawn to darkness and death, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and its inevitable end.

Our blackened souls, Spirit and temper,
We are plagued by our own inner demons and must confront them to find peace and redemption.

Writhing in hatred, Is nothing sacred?
Our pain and anger consume us, making us question the value of all that we once held dear.

Flood of fire, siege of souls, Toil or tire, time still tolls,
We are constantly battling the fires of our own inner turmoil, struggling to maintain our sanity in the face of unending adversity.

In the seat of the scournful, In the council of the ungodly
We find ourselves surrounded by those who scorn and mock us, those who have no faith or morality, making our journey even more difficult.

It’s sad that 3 years ago this film was available to watch on Amazon prime, it’s part of history and people have the right to watch it for whatever reason. Now everything is hate speech. I hate that I have to grow up in this woke state 😩

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Jake Peterson Um, okay.

A very great analysis and commentary of this event. I have the original on DVD, but ultimately it is incredibly boring to watch, precisely because of the many, many parades. This is very well done here and also brings a bit of relaxed funniness to it, even if the essence is deadly serious and ultimately gruesome in view of the further course of this movement.
As a descendant of people who lived near Tannenberg and lost everything but their lives at the end of the war, I very much welcome this film being allowed to be shown in this way. It is a document of how masses can be seduced, which is very important in a time when autocrats and egomaniacs celebrate resurgence. Especially when it is commented as intelligently as it is here. The danger is far from over. Democracy is still very thin ice.

@Tom Hanhart Thank you so very much for your support and your very thoughtful comment. I really appreciate this.

Thank you for making this video. As a lover of the ww2 history myself, I must say that German people chose Hitler. Sometimes it is easier to blame everything on one person but what can one person do if his message wasn't echoed and spread by people. Human lives are constantly filled with hypocrisy, hatred, self-righteousness, revenge, betrayal, and lies. It happens everyday in every way, miniscule or huge.

There are methods one can combat this, 1) Focus on the good works and seek what is objectively good for global communities. For example, be engineers, doctors, etc, because it is a safe bet that your work is sustaining those communities. 2) Have faith in god (if you are religious) and therefore in humanity. 3) Realize everything is temporal. For such purpose, train yourself to give everything you can to those in need. Not just pennies, but everything in your power (except the money that sustains your living). 4) Seclude yourself in nature when you know you aren't helping your fellow humans. Otherwise, you judgemental instincts set in and you develop bias, envy, hatred, etc. Work in a city if you must but live in the forests, beaches, mountains where you hear the heartbeats of nature everyday and feel refreshed, knowing how insignificant you are.

Realize that you are intuitively imperfect and evil if you act on these intuitions is the start.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Patrick Tong Thank you so much for your comment. I too believe that hatred, of any kind, is not an acceptable way forward for society. I am not, however, religious and so tend to find my answers to these types of issues in Enlightenment philosophy. John Locke's individualism really seems to make hatred of any particular group of people just a completely silly concept.

Thanks for the great commentary, Mr. Sheep Corn. I commend you not only on all the great work you did to make this, but on the cool and collected way you have handled some comments that, to be honest, are totally uncalled for. It's very telling how some people resort to name calling when presented with a learned interpretation. Also, in response to some of the comments below, people should know that it is a scientific fact that there is no biological justification for the existence of race categories. There is no collection of black, white, Asian, Latinx etc. genes that hold hands and say "we are a race." It is a scientific fact that there is more genetic variation among members of a race category than between members of two different ones. Race is real in the sense that it is a cultural convention. That is, race is a culturally created category of group membership that has no justification in biological terms. We are one species, Homo sapiens sapiens. Finally, there are plenty examples in human history of multicultural societies that were quite successful. If history has taught us anything, it is that intolerant, racist, xenophobic societies do themselves in in all kinds of ways. An example of that is the demise of the first European Empire, Spain, after Christian zealots expelled Muslims and Jews. They wrecked their society and economy and deprived themselves of critical social resources.

I think it’s important to really understand how history actually happened to try to avoid it happening again and the internet providing an ability to witness things like this first-hand with your overview and context is maybe the greatest tool available to empower others with the knowledge to recognize the ideology and try to fight against it.

@Mr. Sheep Corn Thank you for making this annotated version of the film. Not only is the commentary insightful, it also breaks the flow of the film at timely intervals, which allows one to be mindful of its propagandistic undertones and thus avoid being carried away by it. Btw the Horst Wessel Lied (the Nazi anthem) was played in the opening scenes involving the aeroplane (in addition to its more prominent appearance at the end of the film).

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Roy Ouyong Thank you so much for you very kind comment!

Whatever one may think of Nazism, this movie deserves to be shown without any restrictions.
Of course, it's a propaganda, but suppressing propaganda is itself counter-propaganda and only serves to create even more interest in it.

Many commenters have a very tough time with that.
Clearly, it makes some angry that you’re doing that so well.
Another reason Hess starts off by honoring Hindenberg is to immediately establish continuity between Germany’s ‘glorious past’, thus yugely and immediately validating Hitler’s authority to carry them forward.

You did a very good job with this, and I found it to be a very insightful way to consume this piece of history. I hope that you broaden your views to talk about more pieces of historical media in context. Doing both The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance would be a very good piece to put together if you can find enough to talk about. Don’t get too let down and dragged into arguments with the comments you are getting! Most of the time it’s not worth it.

Interesting commentary, I would like to point out though that they associated the Battle of Langemark with young people since many of those who fought there were students.

I believe there is more to go into detail regarding the things present within this movie, but your commentary is pretty good and would certainly serve as a useful stepping stone into learning more about this era.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Paolo De Guzman Thank you so much for your very kind commentary. Yes, all historical topics provide an infinite regress of possible discussions and information to present. I never intended my commentary to be definitive, just wanted to provide something of marginal use. Given the hundreds of hours I put into this project, at some point one just has to draw the line and export the video. Again, thank you for your comment.

Panagiotis Sparis

3y↑5

Nevertheless, in this video there are many valuable pieces of information not well known in the general public and for this reason this clip is highly recommended especially to the younger public that has not experienced the Nazis, Hitler or Stalin and their methods. Especially important are few of the comments about the press and "its" duty to report the "truth" without explaining what the truth is or if it exist in an absolute, mathematically pure way as even vision or hearing can be manipulated as in modern "action" movies.

Mr. Sheep Corn

3y↑1

@Panagiotis Sparis In the humanities and social studies, I do not believe it is possible to give mathematically pure analysis by the very nature of what we study. That is what makes the humanities different than the hard sciences. Complete removal of all bias and interpretation is just not something that I feel is really a possibility in this type of study.

Excellent commentary series. This first came to my attention when I was in Germany at the time of Leni Riefenstahl's death at a very advanced age (her later story is most interesting as well). While the content is appalling in light of later events, we must see it as it was at the time of its making, and your commentary throws much light upon dark corners. Well done.

WOW, this project is really well done. As an amateur film maker, many things you address are very astute and thought provoking and could be lost on some people. I think you supported your opinions very well and agree with almost everything you noted. My only regret for the Germanic peoples at time if they could have incorporated more views of Nation building and less revenge too a very bad situation, The Nation was huge and very hungry, so I can see why they might bite at the ideas that you explored. Unfortunately there are still people, in every culture, that think the way AH thinks.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Joe Jones Thank you so much for your comment. I agree with the tragedy of the National Socialist mindset for Germany. They had everything going for them and allowed themselves to be led horribly astray.

Dear Mr. S.C. I wish to thank you for your educational and interesting commentary. Being a 2nd generation to Jewish Holocaust survivors from Poland, I always wondered what made ordinary, intelligent people become mass murderers. Your commentary provides a sophisticated angle of view, as you explain how a 30's German would experience the film. On top of that, I learned a lot about propaganda films and I understand better how the sub-text images effect the viewers' minds. The commentary is highly relevant to contemporary time, as "strong leaders" undermine democracy in many countries. Your commentary is deserved to be a must-view film in high schools worldwide.

Mr. Sheep Corn

2y↑2

@Merely I agree that it is a telling quote, but its inclusion in Triumph of the Will has always bothered me. One the one hand, they obviously tried to hide all of the overtly racist ideas of National Socialism from the film and so its inclusion is awkward in the context of the rest of the imagery and rhetoric. On the other hand, it may be telling that they didn't see that statement as being that revealing, and maybe at the time it wasn't as obviously awkward as we read it today. I think that this inherent conflict is what pushed me to just move beyond the quote and stick to the major themes of the film.

Thank you so much for your very well considered and insightful comment. I really appreciate it.

You have put a lot of time and effort into your production.

Thanks for your excellent commentary and your efforts to post this film! You filled in some of the blanks & added to my knowledge in regards to the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Though the director Leni Rienfenstahl was not a member of the Nazi party, she was villianized & slandered by some for the rest of her life until her death in 2003 for the making of this powerful film.

Her great camera direction & out of the box methods were very effective and are still used to this day. I think that she was just a young talented passionate woman born into those times, wrapped up in the events looking for a bright future as others, until the true face of horror tore it all apart.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Bob Dole My original point still stands, what is your assertion based on other than what you think should be correct? Was your thesis peer-reviewed and published? Were your interviews published? Otherwise you are simply appealing to special knowledge.
Asking me to positively argue for what the alternative to Hitler was is silly. In my analysis of Triumph of the Will I argued for why the people of Germany accepted and empowered him. Your question has no bearing on anything that I did in my work nor anything that you have raised.
Again, you are all over the place in terms of the arguments that you are hurling at me across comment threads.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Bob Dole Alright. I appreciate your comments, but you have been kind of all over the place. My commentary did include specific reference to the source material that I was citing in Triumph of the Will.

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Bob Dole Can you provide citation to such a statement? While I agree that at the time of the filming the party had not engaged in the rampant violence and overtly destructive policies that they did later, it still begs the question of to what extent was she an artist and to what extent was she ideologically motivated. Your statements are laden with generalities about the minds of "most germans," but I wonder how you think you know what you are referencing here. Also, the idea that once the party was in power there was no further choice possible is ludicrous. As but a single example, let's look at Oskar Schindler.

Great Video! I was looking for such a video. I am not full through, but i would like to make some additions regarding the music.

At 7:35 we can hear the "Horst Wessel Lied". It is the Party anthem of the NSDAP and it was also used as the "second" national anthem.
At 27:28 we can hear the patriotic song "Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?" (What is the fatherland of the German?). In this song every region of "Großdeutschland" is named and presented. It also states, that the germans should claim all of this land as theirs. So the music fits quite good to the cultural Parade.

If I recognize another song, the comment will be edited.

Consider the use of flags and banners. Plenty of swastikas, but also the presence of the pre Weimar flags, but none of the Weimar republic itself (discredited by the Nazi movement). Can you see which flag the Wehrmacht marched under? It may not have been the swastika, but the pre Weimer imperial flag?

Mr. Sheep Corn

@Andrew Davies The symbology was so incredibly important. I believe there are some old black eagle imperial flags, but the overarching concept of the incoming and all encompassing nature of National Socialism would seem to make them sharing the limelight with other symbols in such a propaganda piece as this unlikely. Thank you so much for your comment!

Hello. I have seen this movie several times as i like to try to immerse myself in the time period. I have never seen it with commentary and your comments and explanations were insightful and downright enjoyable....really made me think. So you know where I'm coming from, I think they (the natzis) were all a bunch of nutcases, but I love studying, reading, watching and learning all about it. It's a hobby of mine and I can't get enough. I would guess there a quite a bit more videos of hitler than one can find on YouTube but where to find them? I also understand there are documents concerning the British that are sealed and cannot be opened until 2045...I'm 53 so I hope I make it. Subscribed. Peace.

North Korea took it to a whole different level though. They have people bow down to giant statues of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il and their bodies are preserved and on display in the government palace (the former is also the "Eternal President of The Republic"). It is freakin CREEPY.

The "Sound of Music" is a wonderful Disney fantasy. The only thing true about the movie was that in real life Maria married von Trapp and my wife and I saw the little chapel where their marriage happened. In reality, the von Trapp family did nothing to escape as doing something as drastic as going over the Alps. In fact the Alps were to the east of where the von Trapps eventually left Austria. And they did so in the mundane fashion of simply boarding a train.

Watching any film in high speed tends too ridicule the scenario and the voices are also distorted and make people's voices sound like Mickey Moose. What's this movie's worth is to recreate this horrible era and let modern people feel as the Germans of that era felt and made them forget Beethoven, Shiller, Man; but most of all diagnose the telltale signs of Nazi propaganda even though the modern Nazi have seen this film and are few steps ahead in this game. If Mr. Sheep Corn wants to make a social contribution should post the original film on YouTube.

@harsh kumarf You are mistaken. Hitler was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg and then called for new Reichstag elections. These elections were mostly rigged and the Nazi party won the majority of the Reichstag.
