Including actual film footage of Charlie Chaplin synced with the song.
This video was one of my biggest challenges, so far. First, I wanted to artistically (with still art and film) add to, or emphasize the passion of this song, and that of Paolo Nutini.
Actual footage from the original 1941 film of "The Great Dictator," and Charlie Chaplin with the existing audio portion of Paolo's song, has been sync'ed with the actual portions of the film to match the audio from the song. The cut of the film, I included, had to be just right so there isn't an appearance of lip sync.

What might be worth observing is to see/hear the parts that were used in this song, and what wasn't used or cut out. This may give you some insight as to Paolo's intent or meaning? Or perhaps it was only an issue of a time edit? I'm not sure, but welcome comments on the topic. :)
Thumbnail credit: The image on the left side of thumbnail, of Paolo Nutini, was downloaded from nativemonster.com. I customized the background and added the lettering. Also, I took a screenshot, of Charlie's film, and merged/edited Paolo into it.

Lyrics: Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky
We are proud individuals living on the city,
But the flames couldn't go much higher.
We find God and religions to,
To paint us with salvation.
But no one,
No nobody,
Can give you the power,
To rise over love,
And over hate,
Through this iron sky,
That's fast becoming our minds.
Over fear and into freedom.
Oh, that's life
That's dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society
From which we'll rise over love,
Over hate,
From this iron sky,
That's fast becoming our minds.
Over fear and into freedom.
You just got to hold on!
You just got to hold on!
Ohhh ohhhh oh oh
(To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men --
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us use that power!
Let us all unite!)
And we'll rise over love,
And over hate,
Through this iron sky,
That's fast becoming our minds
Over fear,
Into freedom.
Into freedom!
From which we'll rise over love,
And over hate,
Through this iron sky,
That's fast becoming our minds.
Over fear and into freedom.
Freedom!
Oh!
Rain on me!
Rain on me!
Rain on me!
Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky
