They Shall Not Pass

No light of dawn will shine upon their false red flags There is no compromise, today retreat is not an option Grim faced and awake we watch their crimeful gathering As their hallow slogans echo through the East End streets Right here, right now, we will put them in their place See the Blackshirts are marching But this time they will not brave the storm Shoulder to shoulder we stand This is a somber season but my heart is filled with confidence Believe me today, they shall not pass this way Not yet corrupted Not yet forced into their lines Adamant and resolute Under streaming banners they defile Lulled into false sense of security Nevermore the sound of marching boots Will hall through Cable Street Those who play with fire shall burn themselves today See the Blackshirts are marching But this time they will not brave the storm Shoulder to shoulder we stand This is a somber season but my heart is filled with confidence Believe me today, they shall not pass this way From different sides of a society But now together upon the barricade Side by side we fight the fear and terror Hand in hand we strike – united by the enemy Strike down their colours They shall not pass Strike down their colours They shall not pass They will pass Never again
