the warrior's day memorial

The soldiers fought
The soldiers died
In honour in preserving nation
Nothing to do with religion

The Warrior's Day Memorial
Erected in honour of these soldiers
Sacrificing lives to defend the nation
Nothing to do with religion

The soldiers of many races
Embraced in common pursuits
Defending the country's sovereignty
Believing in sacrifices for peace

Yet the religious authority
Turning into an issue on religion
Warrior's Day Memorial
In remembrance of soldiers' deeds

If that is the issue
They may as well bring down the pictures
Of the King and Sultans
Displaying in all buildings

They may as well bring down
The statue of Tunku Abdul Rahman
Standing majestically on Parliament compound
And the giant keris displaying publicly in Selangor

As stated in Holy Bible and Quran
There shouldn't be any statue of honour
Of things or people in place of God
Let us all pray for peace and understanding

They weren't the soldiers of fortune
They sacrificed for the country needs
We remember them in their honour
Without them we will not be living peacefully
