The Lyrics
In the Adygea region of Russia a discovery has been made of strange, alien-looking skulls and an Ahnenerbe (Nazi occult ministry) case from 1941 along with German mountain troops remains. No one knows what to make of them, but the Nazis were looking for occult objects, entrances into the Inner Earth, and reputed contact with other life.
German Mountain Troops:
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Our troops are afraid, most are edgy
Such strange sights
Skulls: non-human types
The Ahnenerbe is so creepy
Adygea region we had to go
You know- Escort for the occult leaders
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Fighting demons is not clever
(Despite orders from the Führer)
Ahnenerbe:
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Shut-up and aim your MP-40s
Stay and fight
This other life
Take their craft and technology
Blood in the snow, the temperature is low
But fight them using... whatever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Invaluable is their treasure
[Sounds of heavy machine gun fire, screams, then silence]
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Our troops are afraid, most are edgy
Such strange sights
Skulls: non-human types
The Ahnenerbe is so creepy
Adygea region we had to go
You know- Escort for the occult leaders
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Fighting demons is not clever
(Despite orders from the Führer)
Ahnenerbe:
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Shut-up and aim your MP-40s
Stay and fight
This other life
Take their craft and technology
Blood in the snow, the temperature is low
But fight them using... whatever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Invaluable is their treasure
[Sounds of heavy machine gun fire, screams, then silence]

Time for an Edelweiss marathon? Nice juxtapositions.
Maybe, maybe... Oh, forgot to mention that the German and Austrian mountain troops use the Edelweiss flower as identification. In verse 1 the mountain troops are complaining about the mission and in verse 2 the Ahnenerbe is telling them to shut-up and fight!
he, he, he
