Strike down all those who raise 
their hands against us! Show no mercy!
Erschlagt all jene, die sich widersetzen!
Zeigt keine Gnade!
Toute résistance
entraînera la mort !
Abbattete chiunque alzi le mani contro di noi! 
Nessuna pietà!
E caso alguém tente nos impedir,
abatam-nos sem piedade!
Никакой пощады тем,
кто воспротивится!
