Arise ye workers from your slumbersArise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thundersAnd at last ends the age of cant.Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, ariseWe'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
Refrain: So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us faceThe Internationale unites the human race.
No more deluded by reactionOn tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike actionThey'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep tryingTo sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flyingWe'll shoot the generals on our own side.
No savior from on high deliversNo faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiverChains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their bootyAnd give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their dutyAnd we'll strike while the iron is hot.
