"Die Arbeiter von Wien" ("The Workers of Vienna") is a song, which probably was written in 1927 when 89 protesters were killed during the July Revolt by police forces which were firing into the outraged crowd.
The song's melody is derived from the Soviet march "White Army, Black Baron" by Samuel Pokrass.
The song became more widespread in 1934 during and after the Civil War between the Austrian labor movement and Social Democratic Party and the Fascist authoritarian dictatorship and its organizations.
Wie auch die Lüge uns schmähend umkreist, Alles besiegend erhebt sich der Geist.
Kerker und Eisen zerbricht seine Macht, Wenn wir uns ordnen zur letzten Schlacht.
