The voice of this song is interesting. . . it seems that the singer is speaking for the 'proletariat', and the listener is "the dirty night. . .". Perhaps the song intends to make the audience think about their role in the tragedy of so many lives, and "keep with me" essentially means, "Don't turn away, look at the blood and the pain and the fear and the hate that really make your life possible".
