I Remember Warsaw - David Rovics[00:00:00]

Written by：Stephen Sondheim[00:00:02]

First they occupied our country[00:00:04]

Then they spread their vicious lies[00:00:08]

Evil propaganda[00:00:12]

Filled our ranks with double dealing spies[00:00:15]

They cordoned off a reservation[00:00:19]

Built a wall all around it[00:00:22]

Packed us all into this ghetto[00:00:26]

And our city'd never be as the nazis found it[00:00:29]

First no one believed it[00:00:33]

Just what horrors lay in store[00:00:36]

The sound of boots upon the staircase[00:00:40]

Of leather gloves upon the door[00:00:43]

Some of us they sent to labor[00:00:47]

To slave for them to the last breath[00:00:50]

Most of us they sent to auschwitz[00:00:54]

Half a million people sent to a pointless early death[00:00:57]

There were those of us who worked with them[00:01:01]

A desperate effort to survive[00:01:05]

Even when our numbers were so few[00:01:08]

Maybe sixty thousand left alive[00:01:12]

People said we had no chances[00:01:15]

By then we all knew they were right[00:01:19]

It was 1943[00:01:22]

And we the walking dead made up our minds to fight[00:01:25]

I remember warsaw[00:01:31]

We stood side by side[00:01:34]

The star of david flew above the ghetto[00:01:38]

There we lived and there we died[00:01:41]

We cleansed the ghetto of their agents[00:01:47]

Dug a maze of tunnels underground[00:01:50]

We begged the allies give us weapons[00:01:54]

But empty words were all we found[00:01:57]

So we saved each precious bottle[00:02:01]

Made bombs of rags and gasoline[00:02:04]

And in this script of mindless carnage[00:02:08]

We waited in the shadows for the final scene[00:02:11]

It was the month of april[00:02:15]

The ss came marching in[00:02:18]

Singing songs to praise der fuehrer[00:02:22]

And all his aryan kin[00:02:26]

To see the shock upon their faces[00:02:29]

We'd show the world on this day[00:02:32]

We'd not go like sheep off to the slaughter[00:02:36]

With the last blood running through our hearts we'd make the devils pay[00:02:39]

I remember warsaw[00:02:44]

We stood side by side[00:02:48]

The star of david flew above the ghetto[00:02:50]

There we lived and there we died[00:02:54]

We had taken our positions[00:03:13]

With each escape route planned[00:03:17]

We rained down molotovs upon them[00:03:20]

With each retreat another stand[00:03:24]

Yes we killed the nazi bastards[00:03:27]

They lay dying by the score[00:03:31]

We made each scarce bullet count[00:03:34]

And as the fascist demons ran we killed some more[00:03:37]

For one full month the battle raged[00:03:41]

And the word spread all around[00:03:45]

That it wasn't over[00:03:48]

'Til every building had been levelled to the ground[00:03:51]

I am the ghost of the apocalypse[00:03:55]

And these few words I have to tell[00:03:58]

Let it never be forgotten[00:04:02]

That for four long weeks we fought and we stood up before we fell[00:04:04]

I remember warsaw[00:04:10]

We stood side by side[00:04:13]

The star of david flew above the ghetto[00:04:17]

There we lived and there we died[00:04:20]
