If anyone is wondering, I translated both the Japanese and the German parts. This particular one is one I want to improve because a lot of the lines are iffy for me, and I know some of them don't fit the rhythm as well.

Once we were prey, but now we are hunters

(Spoken)
Strike with crimson arrow's flame

I remember names of flowers
Though they burned so long past our time
We've clipped our wings like birds in cages
Wind may blow, but none can now fly

Can't rely on prayers to save us
We must resolve to fight on our own
No help will come from the heavens
Create our own determination

Those pigs who doubt us, they will sneer
As we climb
As we crawl
As we claw
Over corpses

Livestock they remain, while we set ourselves free
They never understand the fight we remain in

No longer remain as captive within these walls
Sharpen our blades for the endless battle
Hunters once more as we sight our prey
Beyond in the world we can't see
(Jäger!)

Overflowing with the urge to survive
Strike down the titan that tries to crush us
Give light to flame that cuts through the twilight
With the crimson blades that we wield

Draw your bowstring taut, sighting down your prey, never let it escape
Chasing those we hunt, back them into walls, feel the fire deep inside
Body wound up tight, in this fight or flight, till you are about to snap
Words carved into us, never giving ground, till those that we hunt have fallen

Despite the weapons and skills we have
One more thing is needed to aid us now
The conviction to live is the only thing that keeps us from coming down

We are the hunters
Our spirits burn as hot as flame
We are the hunters
Our minds shall freeze as cold as ice
We are the hunters
Weapons used to extend your soul
We are the hunters
All before you will now fall

(Spoken)
Attack on the Titans
The boy of yesteryear shall soon take up the sword
He who only laments his weakness can change nothing
The boy who wanders here shall soon wield the blade of death
Hatred and anger burn bright, but will cut you twice as deep as any enemy
One day, it will be the fate of all of us to bare our teeth to our enemy

We need those with the sole purpose to achieve our freedom
We need those who can sacrifice their souls for a reason
They know that no dream can come true with no single risk
Of life or limb or your own humanity

This peace is nothing more than illusion
Shape lives with reckless bravery
These pawns won't realize what we must go through
Victory to those with souls of flame

Through this terror we begin our onslaught
Though we may fear to fight those who outmatch us
Our stolen land will come back under our realm
As we shape fate to what we desire
(Eren!)

Unstoppable rage finds itself within us
Finding a way for the weak ones to rise up
Finding the flame, look up to violet skies
Shoot the crimson bow that we wield
