lyrics

The union hall was filled to the brim
By working women and men
A meeting was called by the Worker's Vanguard
To discuss the revolution
They were planning a strike throughout the night
With orators rousing the room
Jeers and cheers hath tickled their ears
'Twas the people's defiant tune

On the eve of upheaval
The workers got ready to fight
To liberate the people
From the Empire's destructive might
Thus the deal hath been sealed
Nevermore shall we kneel
To the demons of the right
For, an epic rebellion is now being drawn
And shall be done by the end of the night

And thus the plot was drawn all night long
By the workers who dressed in black
They felt an energy of liberty
They knew there was no turning back
To a life of despair that tainted the air
Via bourgeois inequity
And thus the meeting was closed
And the people went home, awaiting their reckoning
