Whirlwinds of danger are racing around us
O'erwhelming forces of darkness prevail
Still in the fight see advancing before us
Bright flag of liberty that yet shall prevail!

Then onward, you workers, freedom awaits you
All o'er the world and the land and the sea
On with the fight for the cause of humanity!
March, march you toilers and the world will be free!

Death to the kings and the rich parasites
Tremble before our sacred rage
The old order down we shall strike
Crops of the future harvest we will

Then all of you workers rightly will reign
All o'er the world and the land and the sea
On with the fight for the cause of humanity!
March, march you toilers and the world shall be free!

Paul Robeson version
