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

[00:00:02] Written by：Stephen Sondheim

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

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

[00:00:12] Evil propaganda

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:22] It was 1943

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

[00:01:31] I remember warsaw

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:44] I remember warsaw

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:10] I remember warsaw

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

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

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