The July Revolt of 1927 (also known as the Vienna Palace of Justice fire) was a major riot starting on July the 15th 1927 in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
The clash was the result of a conflict between the Social Democratic Party of Austria and a right-wing alliance including wealthy industrialists and the Catholic Church.
It culminated with police forces firing into the outraged crowd, killing 89 protesters, while five policemen died. More than 600 protestors and around 600 policemen were injured.
"The upcoming world shall be built by our hand
for we are the sower, the seed and the land!
We are the reapers of the harvest to come,
we are the future and the deeds to be done!
So fly you fiery scarlet banner,
spearhead us on our chosen course!
We are the future’s fateful fighters,
we are Vienna’s working force!
Oh, lords of factories, you masters of all,
finally, your rule over the world will fall!
We are the army shaping a new age,
breaking ourselves out of your wanton cage!
Although surrounded by vicious lies,
conquering them makes our spirits rise!
Prisons and chains have lost their power,
once we had armed ourselves for the fateful hour!"
