Empires Shall Fall Lyrics

The wretched of this world
And the prisoners of hunger
Enslaved and beaten for centuries
Rise up against their oppressors

We must end all exploitation
We shall not bow to batons nor guns
To return what was taken from the people
For we are the masses

No gods, no kings, no countries
Freedom for one and all
The tyrants fear our might
This is the final struggle

The streets are red with blood
Oh, comrades, do not falter
For the rich are powerless
Without the working class

End all racist ignorance
In unity we stand and fight
The enemy we have in common
Their empires will fall

Sisters and brothers
Let us share the earth
We need no possessions
Branded no more

Armies go on strike
We no longer follow orders
Officers shot in the head
Because we refuse to be
The instruments of imperialism
The instruments of the bourgeoisie
The only thing we fight for
Is the common good of all

Workers of the world, unite
To fight for our liberation
We must rebuild this world
Burn its rotten foundation

The wretched of this world
And the prisoners of hunger
Enslaved and beaten for centuries
Rise up against their oppressors

We must end all exploitation
We shall not bow to batons nor guns
To return what was taken from the people
For we are the masses

No gods, no kings, no countries
Freedom for one and all
The tyrants fear our might
This is the final struggle

The streets are red with blood
Oh, comrades, do not falter
For the rich are powerless
Without the working class

End all racist ignorance
In unity we stand and fight
The enemy we have in common
Their empires will fall

Sisters and brothers
Let us share the earth
We need no possessions
Branded no more

Without gods and without masters
United under the red flag
We rose against our oppressors
To end the bourgeois tyranny
