Ernst Thlmann he was out in
front
His fist was raised to strike them
Brigades were growing thick and fast
To
take the battle forward
The Flag was red
and the fight was on
For our sturdy Comrade
Thlmann
Raise your fist!
Sound
the alarm! The phony court
Has sentenced him
to perish
But when the people of the world
Rise up to liberation
We'll snatch
the axe that falls on him
For our sturdy
comrade Thlmann
Raise your fist!
Dimitrov was in just this spot
The
traitors thought they had him
But news was
spread at lightning speed
And world opinion
freed him
The world awakes, indignation
flames
For our sturdy comrade Thlmann
Raise your fist!
