Is the second opening for Attack on Titan in German if so, can someone translate?

I hope this question isn't too silly, but I've noticed that there seems to be one line in the second opening of "Attack on Titan" that doesn't translate well into English. The line "linie der torheit" doesn't yield any results when I input it into a translator. However, when I translate it from German to English, it appears to mean "line of folly." Could someone clarify what language the second opening for "Attack on Titan" is in, and provide a more accurate translation or explanation of "linie der torheit"? Thank you!

Hey:) That is German. To be honest,Torheit translates to (I looked it up, because that's not really a word I use in real life 😉 ) foolishness, piece of folly, besottedness, foolery.

Torheit actually means that there is a lack of intelligence, or irrationality... so basically stupidity.

The word "die Linie" means "line" in English.

Because I do not know anything about Attack in Titan, I do not know the context... But I think you are able to interpreted it better:) I would guess that there is this line or border and when you do something stupid, you'll cross this border (methaphorically speaking).
