Look...guys. Can't someone make a joke without someone over-interpreting it? Die Eier von Satin is about Hash Cookies. The reason they 're referred to as eggs is because they're somewhat spheroid, or shaped like an egg. The humor is derived from the fact that even though they are called "The eggs of Satan" they have no eggs in them. Additional humor is derived from the fact that most of Tool's audience don't know German. Therefore, due to the tone of voice and the fact that it's in German, it sounds kind of "Nazi", so to speak. Images like these are obviously conjured up from seeing footage of Hitler speeches, etc. When one finds out the lyrics are about making cookies "with drugs in them, hence the Satan reference", the joke comes to fruition.
It's as simple as that. I thought it was rather funny. Gee, what is this crazy German lyric about....oh...Cookies! Who woulda thunk!

It is a recipe for hash cookies.
ENGLISH
The Eggs/Balls of Satan
Half a cup of powdered sugar
One quarter teaspoo salt
One knifetip Turkish hash
Half a pound butter
One teaspoon vanilla-sugar
Half a pound flour
150 g ground nuts
A little extra powdered sugar
... and no eggs
Place in a bowl
Add butter
Add the ground nuts and
Knead the dough
Form eyeball-size pieces from the dough
Roll in the powdered sugar
and say the Magic Words:
"Sim sala bim bamba sala do saladim"
Place on a greased baking pan and
Bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes
...AND NO EGGS
Bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes
...and no eggs.

Umm...why would satan having no balls have anything to do with a cooking recipe??
It's just a simple recipe, but when read in German every thinks "Die Eier Von Satan" is Nazis talkig about satan or screaming about jews or something sadistic, but the funny thing is... it's just a recipe.

Too much thought and not quite enough patience in this place.

I think that "satan's balls" is another name for the recipe.

You know I don't know jack about German, but this song is so awesome and from what my friend who does know German said...it is about a cookie recipe. It might be deeper then I see it but I'm just not getting it.

Entertainment, indeed. It is very funny when you find out what the lyrics mean, because it's definately not what you thought of when you first heard it.

What does one think when one says Hitler? I think of a killer of millions of innocent men, or a brutal murder of a hundred thousand too many women and children.
Satan like.
In this song the person who is telling of this "recipe" of satan's balls is talking to a crowd and is explaining this recipe of his in great determination, and the crowd is cheering in support.
How did Hitler die?
Suicide.
Not much balls for someone that brutal huh?
No balls...
No balls...
NO BALLS...

I think its a bit weird always linking german to Nazi. can't the lyrics just be german without any reference to the nazi's.
If you look at the FAQ of Tool it says this
"German" does not equal "Nazi."

You're right, it doesn't have to mean Nazi, but that is the reason why it is in German, to reflect something evil. I believe that this song is to make you ask yourself: if you were going to make a recipe for a new you, would you leave out the seeds of evil (eggs of satan)?

At first glance this song sounds evil and sinister, but once the lyrics are translated it turns out to be about a cookie or cake. I think this is kind of a test to see how deep into this song we will look. Some people might not care to translate the lyrics and dismiss Tool as satanists, whereas others can translate them and see that this is a clever joke and that the lyrics involving satan are just a red herring.

You know
it is possible for a band to write or record a song that doesn't have a hidden, deep, or theological meaning.
Tool probably just recorded it to record it.
It's funny.
It's a joke.
People make too big a deal of it.

maybe they're "Satan's Eggs" - spawn of Satan, perhaps meaning they are really gross or hot? Or delicious, depending on your views of Satan. Somebody should try the recipe and tell me how it goes. Huzzah!

#1 its sung in german because its a german recipe
#2 its recorded in this manner so that you think its something bad
which is a part of the idea, people make judgements about the song and they can't even understand the language its in, Tools songs are almost always about transcending our own perceptions....or...
maybe he really likes hash cookies from germany and decided it should go on the album....nothing more

I'm pretty sure all of this discussion is missing the point, its called Die Eier Von Satan and we are repeatedly reminded es hat keine eier (it has no eggs) not because Satan has no balls, but instead to draw attention to another ingredient that's there instead of eggs (etwas haschisch)

I think they were just using the fact that German is such as violent language, that everything is intimidating (even the butterfly is scared of it's name in German!), so the lyrics are in German, they are portrayed as a speech, and to a large crowd too which leads you to believe it's something political. when it comes to Germany and Politics everybody thinks Nazi. So you think, this is odd, why is this on here? so you look it up, and it's a recipe. I think it's just anther subtle way of saying open your minds! German does not = Nazi!
The "No eggs" part could be something deeper, it could be left open to interpretation, or it could just be that this recipe is rank when eggs are used...

IT'S A JOKE! It's a joke so people will sit around discussing "'Oh, gee, what do you think that means!?' 'I think it's about Satan's nazi testicles being polished by Hitler!' 'I think you've got it!!'" It's just a joke, something for fun.

Everyone thinks Nazis when they hear someone speaking German to a large crowd.
Now, if you don't use eggs in this recipe it will come out bland, obviously.
If eggs represent the Jews... Then I think what Maynard was saying culture is bland without the Jews...
Hence the joke "and no eggs" the recipe would suck otherwise.

I am German and I am sad that I had no chance of discovering the meaning of the lyrics of this song. But reading your comments is very interesting too. I think the meaning of this song is not hidden in the words it's hidden in what you as non-German first think about the German speach.
BTW: This reminds me of a social experiment where a crowd of students were shown faces and phrases of different foreigners and from different foreign languages from around the world. Some faces and phrases were shown more often than others.
At the end the students had to give marks to the phrases and faces under the aspect how friendly they looked to them.
The faces and phrases that were shown more often always got better marks than the others.
