LRC Lyrics download
[00:48.000]The people's flag is deepest red
[00:52.000]It shrouded oft our martyred dead
[00:56.000]And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
[01:00.000]Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold
[01:04.000]Then raise the scarlet standard high
[01:08.000]Within its shade we'll live and die
[01:12.000]Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
[01:16.000]We'll keep the red flag flying here
[01:24.000]It waved above our infant might
[01:28.000]When all ahead seemed dark as night
[01:32.000]It witnessed many a deed and vow
[01:36.000]We must not change its colour now
[01:40.000]Then raise the scarlet standard high
[01:44.000]Within its shade we'll live and die
[01:48.000]Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
[01:52.000]We'll keep the red flag flying here
[02:12.000]It well recalls the triumphs past
[02:16.000]It gives the hope of peace at last
[02:20.000]The banner bright, the symbol plain
[02:24.000]Of human right and human gain
[02:28.000]Then raise the scarlet standard high
[02:32.000]Within its shade we'll live and die
[02:36.000]Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
[02:40.000]We'll keep the red flag flying here
[02:48.000]It suits today the weak and base
[02:52.000]Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
[02:56.000]To cringe before the rich man's frown
[03:00.000]And haul the sacred emblem down
[03:04.000]Then raise the scarlet standard high
[03:08.000]Within its shade we'll live and die
[03:12.000]Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
[03:16.000]We'll keep the red flag flying here

The people's flag is deepest red
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Within its shade we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
It waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as night
It witnessed many a deed and vow
We must not change its colour now
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Within its shade we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
It well recalls the triumphs past
It gives the hope of peace at last
The banner bright, the symbol plain
Of human right and human gain
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Within its shade we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
It suits today the weak and base
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown
And haul the sacred emblem down
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Within its shade we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
