Here is my understanding of the song:
The requim is a Catholic Mass known informally as the funeral Mass for its focus on praying for the souls of the dead. Many classical songs were created for this Mass.
Looking on this from that angle, this is like an opposite requim for all the dead and particularly for the punk spirit and the revolutionists who have stopped fighting (a sort of death). Rather than praying for these souls to make it to the afterlife, this song tells them to get back up and fight.
I think this is a powerful rallying cry for people to start standing up for what is right rather than let it die.
