Das Signum des Verrats

"The sign of betrayal" means the punk and skinhead scene, which drifted into left-wing (punks) and right-wing (skinheads) circles and so betrayed their own basic idea.

Stunde des Siegers

"The hour of victor" means, that everyone will have the chance so strike back and to change their life.

Was kann ich denn dafür

"What can I do for it, that we're so beautiful" - In this song the band glorifies itself.

Hässlich, brutal und gewalttätig

"We wear all swastikas / Skinheads have only violence in sense. / Is it that you want to hear / that we're brainless fighters?" The song describes that skinheads are not neonazis, and the refrain "We are ugly, brutally and violating" gives the song an ironic note.

7 Tage ohne Sünde

means seven days without sex, because the meant person has a sexually transmitted infection.

Hass

An anti-political song. "Workless youths are today normal, the rich more richer, all other is the same"
