Hi, I just finished work on my second version of this song.
The instrumentation is very very basic on purpose.
I think it fits the song, but let me know what you think about it.

The song itself has some meaning. It's about this german guy during the second world war.
I've always found it strange that we see all of the german soldiers as these bad people, when in reality it's impossible that an entire country turned evil for 6 years.
So this song is about this good guy in nazi germany, who is pressured into doing the most terrible things by others.
It's about always remaining critical of the people around you, and not blindly following those around you.

Here's reflect our roots:

You with your shoes of leather
I had everything together
You had everything forever
I was a fool whatever

The dedemocrization
Of a nation
The indoctrination
By a *

Do you want a lie
Or do you want the truth
Repeat now after me
Everything is good

You thought me how to do
The killing of the select few
The ones you always knew
The jew

You got the words
And I got the gun
Don't be affraid
To have some fun

Do you want a lie
Or do you want the truth
Repeat now after me
Everything is good

After the bombshell
After the bombs fell
I stand here
Drowning in my fear

This is my route so
Where does my foot go
My mood is so low
So I shoot

The lyrics on their own are not telling the story you wrote in the explanation above them.

Without such context, the song tells the story of someone who kills a jew. I re-read the song twice before I read the background above it - at first, I could not believe that such song can be posted. After getting the context I understood what you meant but the song on its own does not explain it.

I would change the lyrics to be more obvious about the feelings of the man.
Have a great day!

Intriguing
I didn't mind the ambiguity, still I think it still needs some work.
I also like its simplicity. 

It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

Don't eat the yellow snow

And there you have it.
