You must be referring to the victory celebration of a one world order at the end. Lyrics would work and any sort of improvisation is fitting. Perhaps “All Weak Nations Fall.” Interpretation is the best way to listen, but I’ll point out that the anthem enters at 2:53. Its a sort of deranged anthem isn’t it?

I could hear words in my head, but I couldn’t make out what they were. Given your description, I’m not sure I even know what emotional content they would have. Excellent description, though – it keeps this theory geek from “only hearing the music” (hah!).
