Songtext von Red Flag

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 color now Then raise the scarlet standard high Within its shade, we'll live and 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 Then raise the scarlet standard high Within its shade, we'll live and 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 dungeons dark or gallows grim This song shall be our parting hymn Then raise the scarlet standard high Within its shade, we'll live and die Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here
