Wacław Święcicki - Whirlwinds of Danger (5-stanza version) lyrics

Whirlwinds of danger are raging around us, O'erwhelming forces of darkness a**ail, Still in the fight see advancing before us, Red flag of liberty that yet shall prevail. Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you, Over the world on the land and the sea. On with the fight for the cause of humanity. March, march you toilers and the world shall be free. Brothers and sisters in hunger are calling, Shall we be silent to their sorrow and woe? While in the fight see our comrades are falling, Up then united and conquer the foe! Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you, Over the world on the land and the sea. On with the fight for the cause of humanity. March, march you toilers and the world shall be free. Off with the crown of the tyrants of favor! Down in the dust with the prince and the peer! Strike off your chains, sons and daughters of labor! Wake all humanity, for victory is near. Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you, Over the world on the land and the sea. On with the fight for the cause of humanity. March, march you toilers and the world shall be free. Africa murmuring under the slave-whip, India challenging her plunderers' crime, Ireland who hurled out the alien oppressor, Rally against your own exploiters in time! Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you, Over the world on the land and the sea. On with the fight for the cause of humanity. March, march you toilers and the world shall be free. Now while in secret our rulers are plotting, Furies of slaughter to stave off their fall, Only united the people can thwart them, Shatter their war designs and bring peace to all. Then forward you workers, freedom awaits you, Over the world on the land and the sea. On with the fight for the cause of humanity. March, march you toilers and the world shall be free.
