"'Propaganda' is a rousing song in typical double bass drum style that barely gives you time to breathe. After an aggressive guitar intro and a sublime guitar riff, the highlights follow one after the other: Udo and Peter shine with their harmony vocals, polyphonic choirs and two-part guitar licks alternate, while the chorus screams the entire emotion of the lyrics out into the world. Manuela supports all this with her solo vocal interludes as well as a harsh and intensely played Hammond organ. As if this wasn't enough, a guitar solo follows a hymn type part, which culminates in a harmony battle with the organ. The 70s and 80s send their regards!"

Lyrics:

News break overload
Chaos day and night
Mental overdose
A live feed from the sky

Western hemisphere
The danger being spread
Lies transmitting fear
And simple minds reset

And signs of resistance - crushed
The right of existence - flushed
So reckless and distant
The end is so near

Propaganda
Degraded yet forced to comply
Propaganda
It will infiltrate you and I

Dark supremacy
Creeping from the ranks
Who's the enemy
Washing bloody hands

Mad but powerful
Digging up the dirt
Non-accountable
Keep yourself alert

And signs of resistance - crushed
The right of existence - flushed
So reckless and distant
The end is so near

Propaganda
Degraded yet forced to comply
Propaganda
It will infiltrate you and I

Faking news hallelujah
Glorifying the lie
Hail the ancient Medusa
Purify and deny

And signs of resistance - crushed
The right of existence - flushed
So reckless and distant
The end is so near

Propaganda
Degraded yet forced to comply
Propaganda
It will infiltrate you and I

Faking news hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorifying the lie
Glorifying the lie
Hail the ancient Medusa
Hail Medusa
Purify and deny
