Song language: English
Written in Red |
For the Gods of the World to see; |
On the dooming wall their bodiless hands |
have blazoned «Upharsin,» and flaring brands |
Illumine the message: «Seize the lands! |
Open the prisons and make men free!» |
Flame out the living words of the dead |
Written-in-red. |
Gods of the World! |
Their mouths are dumb! |
Your guns have spoken and they are dust. |
But the shrouded Living, whose hearts were numb, |
have felt the beat of a wakening drum |
Within them sounding — the Dead men’s tongue — |
Calling: «Smite off the ancient rust!» |
Have beheld «Resurrexit,» the word of the Dead, |
Written-in-red. |
Bear it aloft, O roaring flame! |
Skyward aloft, where all may see. |
Slaves of the World! |
Our cause is the same; |
One is the immemorial shame; |
One is the struggle, and in One name — |
Manhood— we battle to set men free. |
«Uncurse us the Land!» |
burn the words of the Dead, |
Written-in-red. |
