The Whirlwinds of Danger is the English version of the Warszawianka (1905 version), a revolutionary song of the Polish Communists.

[edit] Lyrics

Whirlwinds of danger are raging around us;

O'erwhelming forces of darkness assail.

Still in the night see advancing before us

Red flag of liberty that yet shall prevail.

 

Chorus:

Then, forward, ye workers! Freedom awaits you

O'er all the world, on the land and the sea.

On with the fight for the cause of humanity!

March, march, ye toilers, and the world shall be free.

 

Chorus

 

Sisters and brothers 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!

 

Chorus

 

Off with the crowns 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 vict'ry is near!

 

Chorus
