All together now:-
The people's flag is deepest red
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And 'ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.
So raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath its shade we'll live or die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as night
It witnessed many a deed and vow
We must not change its colour now.
So raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath its shade we'll live or die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It well recalls the triumphs past
It gives the hope of peace at last
The banner bright, the symbol plain
Of human right and human gain.
So raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath its shade we'll live or die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall
Come dungeon dark or gallows grim
This song shall be our parting hymn.
So raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath its shade we'll live or die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Viva la socialism~
