First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

 

Then they came for the Gays

And I did not speak out

Because I was not Gay.

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

 

“You Attack Us We Rise!”
