Lyrics:

See it on the people's faces everywhere
Black'n'blue but they won't throw the towel in
And let go of a dream
Man, women, child prepare to bleed

Were we born to lose and let goliath win?
Heavy air and screaming as you pull the pin
Our world is collapsing but we can rebuild it
A 100 more years in the fire

Do you believe that we can just kill them all?
Do you believe that we can conquer this?
Can't delete all the mess that I have seen
Fall in the fire but these burns will heal you

Gonna take your knives and skills they must be honed
Show your mom your lives and give a dog a bone
Just wait for centuries
Man, woman, child long to be free

When we die we ask our brothers one more time
If the meaning of our lives was worth a dime
Our world oxidizes but will surprise us
A 100 more years in the fire

Do you believe that we can just kill them all?
Do you believe that we can conquer this?
Can't delete all the mess that I have seen
Fall in the fire but these burns will heal you
Coming down to show you what to do
How to die with honor, dignity
We should delete all the mess out from our sight
What is truth is for me and you

Do you believe that we can just kill them all?
Do you believe that we can conquer this?
Can't delete all the mess that I have seen
Fall in the fire but these burns will heal you
Coming down to show you what to do
How to die with honor, dignity
We should delete all the mess out from our sight
What is truth is for me and you

[Soulkinthehuman]

What an honor it was, to watch this masterpiece with all of you.

[lukasayres]

“Hey… guys. It seems like this is it. What you all dedicated your hearts for.”

[sara_s]

Never thought THIS would be the song I'd come back to after final episode but here we all are.
It was an honour to follow this story.

[arieldreemurr]

I am so happy right now. They used it at the perfect moment.

[markbrix]

They made the ending scenes for the final episode so perfect and emotional. This OST hits so hard when you see Levi crying and farewell to his comrades.❤

[dr.deadpool]

I don’t think I’ll ever find another series where I was emotionally invested in as Attack on Titan, thank you

[aesketches]

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an honor growing up watching Attack on Titan with you.

[VlogsarmyRohitThapaVlogs]

2:14 : " Do you believe that we can just kill them all ?"
Eren: *Well i took that personally*

[PricefieldPunk]

I'm so glad Mappa used a majority of the original OST for the final episode. These tracks defined the spirit of Attack on Titan so well. I can't believe its over..

[torgan]

"Just wait for centuries. Man, woman, child long to be free."
To You 2000 ago, you aren't a slave, you aren't a god either. You are free.

[Jarredpl]

“Sorry mom, I guess I’m no longer the Armor Titan anymore…”

[kweenikki]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW THEY USED THIS SONG ON THE FINAL EPISODE! really makes this song hit you 100x harder

[zura]

It's insane how this song was written nearly a decade before the ending even happens, yet it fits so insanely well with the final moment it plays.

[alkan]

If you analyze the lyrics, it shows that this is foreshadowing eren in the manga right now. in fact, almost every song released in the first season does.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I just want to say that Hiroyuki Sawano really knows how to make masterpieces with little to no effort, like an ost machine

[mikicho--matte]

For all of you guys wondering, from what I know, these tracks titled '2Volt, ' 'Two-Lives, ' 'The Weight of Lives, ' 'TheDOGS, ' and 'Hope of Mankind, ' are all the same song with the same melody but different delivery of music. 2Volt was the soundtrack used during Levi's first fight with the Beast Titan, after he made his promise to Erwin in Season 3 Part 2.

If you look at the lyrics, of the 'Hope of Mankind' song lyrics are mainly related to Erwin Smith and his struggles as the commander of the scouts. And the lyrics of this song 'TheDOGS' could be related to Eren, Levi, and Erwin, as they are the dogs of this war. (They are the main characters on this side of the sea, at least.)

Hence the lyrics in verses and chorus saying "Man, women, child prepare to bleed" -this could be related to what Kenny Ackermann told Levi that everyone has to have their own dreams to keep on going. "Do you believe that we can just kill them all?" -could be Eren's longing to kill all the Titans to avenge his mother's death, "Do you believe that we can conquer this?" -Erwin's goal to achieve victory for all mankind "Can't delete all the mess that I have seen, fall in the fire but these burns will heal you" -Levi's judgement for always being the only soldier to live in battle with all his comrades dying before him making him the most broken character in the series. "When we die we ask our brothers one more time, if the meaning of our lives was worth a dime?" -related to Erwin's very last speech to his soldiers for the cavalry charge at Season 3 Part 2.

But of course, that's just my interpretation. Whatever these tracks mean depend on you guys. It sure does give me the chills to hear just one relative melody even from one of these songs, knowing that they mean a lot to Erwin, Levi, Eren, perhaps even Armin, and everyone from the Scouts who sacrificed their lives for victory.

[Chook]

Tbh this song feels like it's from Armin's POV, reasoning with Eren around "current events" in the manga. He's trying to convince him, almost...

[universaltopics]

This should be played at the very end of season 4 part 2 when the time comes to say goodbye to the best freedom fighters humanity has had to offer.

[DanielCollins]

"it seems this was the resolution all of you gave your hearts for" 😭😭😭

[wrenchx_x]

For everyone who came back here, I just finished the dub episode. I’m glad to have been on this journey with you all, dedicate your hearts ⚔️
