Lyrics : Cpol (Dhuat)
kaukah si jebat yang derhaka
'tau sang perwira disanjungpatutkah dipuja 'taupun dimurka
kerna timbangan tak sekata...
neraca neraka tipu dan dusta
sergah nista dengan jiwa
tegakkan dirimu sang perwira
bebaskanlah nusa mu...
bangunlah
sang perkasa
atur lah
rentaknya...
tarilah canggungmu di gelanggang
bersilat dengan irama...
biar memutih sang petualang
sumpah keramat bergema...
kernanya cintanya
nusa bangsa
kernanya cintanya
sumpahnya...
bangunlah
sang perwira
atur lah
rentakmu..
Cho : biarpun nyawa
jadi taruhan
jasad terbilang...
mekarlah nama
jadi sebutan
harumlah dikau
walaupun harung
badai samudra
walau derita
kerana hidup
hanya mulia
bila merdeka...
The Composition
I wrote the song 10 years ago (1999), when i was a young adult (or an old teenager) who loves heavy music, and expressing my inspiration thru aggression music. My band at that time, FOREO, play heavy music, particularly Metallica songs.
As far as I can recall, the intro riff was inspired by STP's Dead & Bloated and Nirvana's Aneurysm. However we never play the song in FOREO.
The Recording
I recorded most of the instrument 4 years back, using my MRS8. But i updated my vocal 2 weeks ago. This is my first ever 'growl 'vocal attempt .
Credit to Ken for lending his Gibson Standard guitar. Love the warm sound.
The Lyric
This is heavy music, so I need someone who can deliver 'heavy' lyric as well. And Cpol never dissapoint me. He always brings 'subtance & style' together. That's what I love about him. His previous work with me was Mantra Buana.
The tagline of the song is :
kerana hidup hanya mulia
bila merdeka...
So cool. So true.
The video
This is another great Video from Aniboom, my favourite animation video library. But the high resolution on the visual forces me to cut song to 2 pieces. Rather a cool solution. Now i have 1 song in 2 series, just like a movie.
