lyrics

Written in red their protest stands,
For the gods of the World to see;
On the dooming wall their bodiless hands
have blazoned "Upharsin," and flaring brands
Illumine the message: "Seize the lands!
Open the prisons and make men free!"
"Uncurse us the Land!" burn the words of the Dead,
Written-in-red, written-in-red.
Gods of the World! Their mouths are dumb!
Your guns have spoken and they are dust.
But the shrouded Living, whose hearts were numb,
have felt the beat of a wakening drum-
Within them.
Sounding-the Dead men's tongue—
Calling: "Smite off the ancient rust!"
"Uncurse us the Land!" burn the words of the Dead,
Written-in-red, written-in-red

-Voltairine deCleyre (from her last poem, 1911)
