Not since Lenin's day has such a fever gripped the land Once more the people feel they have some more power in their hand Power to ring the changes and lay the tyrants low The wind that shook the world has once again begun to blow In Moscow and in Kiev and the streets of Leningrad The people are demanding what they always should have had A cla**less free democracy with neither great or small For a communist with privilege is no communist at all And the hunger won't be satisfied Till the great October wind has been revived The revolution from above has lit a fire below The people not the party are the ones who matter nor Is that not the vision struggled for so many years ago When the great October wind that shook the world began to blow And the peoples' will won't be denied When the great October wind has been revived The people are now far beyond the point of no return The fire of hope rekindled, may it forever burn In the hearts of men and women who'd dare to rise and fight All who would be masters and deny another's rights And the peoples' will won't be denied When the great October wind is blowing And the peoples' will won't be denied When the great October wind has been revived
