So, apparently this song is about a group of Nazi soldiers forced to hide underground by the enemy, but when they finally emerge, they are blinded by the light, so much so that they can't even see that they have been defeated.

Metaphorically, I think it's about being so stubborn in your ideas, ideology, faith in leaders, that it blinds you to the reality of the situation. This is a beautiful song.
