In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing
About the dark times.

Play your part creatively in all the struggles
Of men of your time, thereby
Helping, with the seriousness of study and the cheerfulness of knowledge
To turn the struggle into common experience and
Justice into a passion.
