Well, this is pretty obvious. The song is about Albert Speer, the famous Nazi city-planner/architect that pleaded guilty to using slave labor during the Nuremberg Trial. He is said to be Hitler's only friend and the only Nazi to openly admit he knew of what was happening to the Jews. However, he purposely blinded himself with his obsession to build and chose to ignore what was happening. This along with his relationship with Hitler made him somewhat reclusive.
He only served 20 years in jail and later wrote a huge seller "Inside the Third Reich". Amazing that these guys wrote a song about this strange figure
