Nietzsche's "Übermensch" is/has often (been) translated as "superman"...

The Italian word "superuomo" (ubermensch) has been translated with "super-man"...  Actually, overman (or superhuman - ubermensch) would be more correct... Well, the translation is not perfect, but it's the only I found (there's a link on the official website of the band too)... Anyway, in my opinion the lyrics are one of the weak points of this album...
