The song is about the Nazi's reign over Europe and how the people are ushered into Nazi life. "We will train our blue-eyed men" refers to Hitler's preference to blue eyes. "We will teach our twisted speech" refers to the radical ideals of the Nazi's being covered by less radical themes.
The strong vocals give off an authoritative tone. They act like Nazi authorities barking orders in your face, almost in a threating manner.
This song relates to persuasion by showing the wear on the oppressed's resistance until they finally buy into Nazi demands. From stanza to stanza, the "clampdown" drags the subjects in little by little until they give up their original moral values for brutal ideologies.
