"Nun Hitlerleute schließt die Reihen,
zum letzten Kampf sind wir bereit,

zum Zeichen einer neuen Zeit,
Volksgenossen, unser ist die Stunde,
das Banner weht bereits,
Auf weißem Feld auf rotem Grund
mit unserem schwarzen Hakenkreuz."
English translation:
Now Hitler's people close ranks,
We are ready for the final battle;
we want to consecrate the banner with blood,
as a sign of a new era.
Comrades, the hour is ours;
the flag is already waving,
on a white field against a red background
with our black swastika."
