Red October

Red October! Red October!
When a new dawn woke the world,
When a people rose triumphant with a dawn-red flag unfurled,
When a multitude of heroes, marching forth for peace and food,
Fought for all the world of workers, fought for worldwide brotherhood.

Red October! Tyrant forces toppling from the brink of night,
Vanquished when those men and women marched as comrades to the fight,
Marched with mighty-hearted Stalin, marching, marching forward still.

Red October! Men emerging from 10 thousand years of strife,
Forth to wider and human vistas, forth' to social ways of life,
Life that gave them pride and purpose, hope renewed & strong accord,
Nerves of steel and iron courage, strength to fight the Fascist horde.

Red October! Vast horizons bright with hope for all mankind,
Dawn-red flags & mankind marching, firm of faith & strong of will,
Led by mighty- hearted comrades, marching, marching forward still.
