Der Heimliche Aufmarsch
Hanns Eisler
The Secret Mobilization
There's a whisper going through the world
Workers, can't you hear it?
Those are the voices of the war ministers
Workers, can't you hear them?
The coal and steel producers are whispering
The chemical warfare production is whispering
It's whispering from all continents
Mobilization against the Soviet Union!
Workers, farmers, grab your rifles
Grab your rifles in hand
Smash the fascist bandits
Set your hearts ablaze!
Plant your red banners of labor
On every field, in every factory
Then from the ruins of the old society
The socialist world republic will rise!
Workers listen, they're heading to the field
And shouting for nation and race!
This is the war of the rulers of the world
Against the working class
For the attack on the Soviet Union
Is a stab in the heart of the revolution!
And the war that's sweeping through the lands
Is a war against you, proletariat!
Workers, farmers, grab your rifles
Grab your rifles in hand
Smash the fascist bandits
Set your hearts ablaze!
Plant your red banners of labor
On every field, in every factory
Then from the ruins of the old society
The socialist world republic will rise!
Then from the ruins of the old society
The socialist world republic will rise!
