[KURT]
What's the year?
Well it's gotta be close to '38
My people're talking to me
They say, "Time for glory"
NOTE: The capture of Tulcea was a primary objective, as it blocked Germany from advancing further south. As it turns out, the three provinces north of Tulcea fell to Austria when Romania was annexed, but they were ceded to Germany out of gratitude... and for blueprints.
They say, "We've given them an Austrian fear
We've nearly satiated our hate
We've gotta charge those Entente types and wipe
Them from the story"
NOTE: Ataturk thought he was smart, landing a couple of soldiers in North Africa. Tsk, tsk.
Our grudge goes back from the last act
But this play's turning, now that we've won the war
Five Ententes enslaved
Though our future's paved
With saved monarchs and kingdoms reborn
[as KURT sings, he makes his way to Rome and St. Peter's Basilica]
NOTE: No, this image is not from my actual game.
We don't need more power
We've nearly settled our score
If you lend a hand
By just crowning one more
Let's make a
Kaiserreich
We have to shape a
Kaiserreich
You want a say?
Let's do it your way
Otto just had his
Twenty-fifth birthday
Name a Kaiserreich (Sieg heil!)
Ooh-oh-a-ooh, oh ja... oh ja, ja...
When you got some land scraps from Benny
Did you really have guarantees?
Well now he's gone. We'll make you strong,
Just grant legitimacy
Just make a
Kaiserreich
Uh-huh
We need a
Kaiserreich
You want a place?
Purge our disgrace?
Let's go and crown a Habsburg face
Kaiserreich
Emperorless empires can't be
What's a monarch-bereft Dual Monarchy?
Let's take a lunge toward unity
And make things right
Oh let's set this throne
In a way that everyone can condone
And past injustices
Fade into the night
Let's make a
Kaiserreich
We have to shape a
Kaiserreich
We'll conspire
Through all that transpires
Wanna get back your Holy Roman
Empire?
Just make our
Kaiserreich
Please make a
Kaiserreich
Don't forsake the
Kaiserreich
Let's all create a
Kaiserreich
-serreich... -serreich
Kaiserreich
[PIUS XI]
What do you think this is?
Who says that throne is even his?
Mr. Fascist -- hey
Your country's that way
We don't have to listen
To every order you say
Take your armies -- take your Blitzkrieg
Belligerence
Is not what we need
Well, take your nostalgia-based claims
Your empire, your ill-gotten gains
I should tell you, I should tell you
I should tell you, I should -- no!
Another age -- another time
We'd be your watchful sage
It might've worked out fine
We'd bless your soldiers out
We'd have kind things to say
Now if you're gonna pout
Crown him another way
Another way
[KURT]
Your voice can break or it can thrive
We've claimed our stake. Our kingdom will survive
It never died
It is not past
We can remake all things to last
There's only one
There's no way out
You must take part
Or sacrifice your clout
No other time
No other day
This is the only way
[PIUS XI]
Pardon me if I digress
But if you're so great
Then tell your friends in the S.S.
Take your party
Take your militant sass
And don't forget
Your Nazis and their broken glass
We've endured Italian fascists, true
But what makes you think we'd do more than endure you?
Another era -- another place
We'd make non-Christians fear and
Crown your Habsburg's face
It'd be a different world
You'd rule a different day
You wanna bet I'm wrong?
Then try some other way
Another way
[KURT]
There's only ja
Only through you
You can't let go
Ignoring all we do
No other means
No other path
Don't incur our wrath
[WILHELM and MIKLÓS appear]
[KURT, WILHELM, and MIKLÓS]
You can't abstain
[PIUS XI]
You can't have both ways
[KURT, WILHELM, and MIKLÓS]
From reality
[PIUS XI]
With your racist pals
[KURT, WILHELM, and MIKLÓS]
Don't be the bane
[PIUS XI]
You've made the world your bane
[KURT, WILHELM, and MIKLÓS]
Of our new society
[PIUS XI]
Then stop attacking your neighbors
[HAILE, BORIS, and SULTAN ABDUL HAMID II appear, joining KURT's group]
[KURT, et al] ************* [PIUS XI]
There's only this ********** What do you think this is?
Only empire **************
'Twould be remiss ********* Who says that throne is even his?
To let this chance expire ****
No other road ************ Mr. Fascist -- hey
No room for nay ********** Your country's that way
This is the only way *******
[PIUS XI]
Not so long as I have a say
[KURT, WILHELM, MIKLÓS, HAILE, BORIS, and ABDUL]
This is the only way
[PIUS XI]
Take your army -- take your Blitzkrieg
[KURT, et al]
This is the only way
[PIUS XI]
Take your puppets, your vengeance wars, your Nazi chums
[KURT, et al]
This is the only way
[PIUS XI]
Another epoch -- 'nother age
Another step -- a different page
[KURT, et al]
This is the only way
[PIUS XI]
Another street -- another fray
Until we meet
Another way
NOTE: With Italy gone, Ethiopia's colour has been changed for convenience.
