    In fairness, it means “Twilight of the Gods” and is a fancy byword for apocalypse. Funny thing is that the word is commonly associated with Nazi Germany’s downfall in the last days of the war before Addy made his greatest contribution to humanity in the Fuhrerbunker.

    Ironically, it was lifted straight from Richard Wagner’s concluding musical act on the Nibelungenlied, which German nationalists used to evoke the “stab in the back” myth (specifically Siegfried’s betrayal at the hands of Hagen).
