Reply #12: Arise, ye prisoners of starvation! [View All]

Arise, ye wretched of the earth,
For Justice thunders condemnation,
A better world's in birth.
No more tradition's chains shall bind us,
Arise, ye slaves, no more in thrall!
The earth shall rise on new foundations,
We have been naught, we shall be all!

Chorus:

Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in their place,
The International Working Class,
Shall be the human race!

Repeat chorus


We want no condescending saviors,
To rule us from a judgement hall.
We workers ask not for their favors,
Let us consult for all!
I cannot remember these two lines,
To free something from something??
We must each one decide our duty,
We must decide & do it well!

drum roll

Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in their place,
The International Working Class,
Shall be the human race!

Repeat chorus



Is Mayday communist?
What sparked that move?
