Warriors of love

[Sridas]

References to the Koran are woven into one of Dewa's most popular songs, "Laskar Cinta," or "Warriors of Love." Dahni said he wrote the lyrics to beckon his fans into a loving Islam.

 

"Hey there, all you lovers of peace," the song goes. "Watch out, watch out and be on guard -- for lost souls, anger twisting their hearts, for lost souls, poisoned by ignorance and hate. . . . Warriors of Love, teach the mystical science of love, for only love is the eternal truth and the shining path for all God's children everywhere in the world."

Warriors of Love by Dewa

 

 

 

Hey there, all you lovers of peace

 

Watch out, watch out and be on guard

For lost souls, anger twisting their hearts

For lost souls, poisoned by ignorance and hate

There’s no doubt, evil dwells in the hearts

Of all those, of all those who are full of hate

There’s no doubt, evil dwells in the souls

Of all those, of all those full of prejudice

REFF

Warriors of love

Spread the seeds of love throughout the earth

Go and destroy the virus of hatred

That makes people’s hearts sick and depraved

By corrupting their souls

Warriors of Love

Teach the mystical science of love

For only love is the eternal Truth

And the shining path for all God’s children everywhere in the world

If hatred has already poisoned you

Against those … who worship differently

Then evil has already gripped your soul

Then evil’s got you in its damning embrace

If so, don’t bother to hope or dream

that I…that I’ll ever love or embrace

People full of hate and anger like you

People… who’re always full of lust… for others’ blood

REFF

Hey there, all you lovers of peace, don’t ever don’t ever don’t ever don’t

Try to play God, by judging and condemning anyone different from you

For God has not given you the right to be mankind’s judge and jury

Nor the power to know the ultimate Truth, or to tell others what they must do

Weren’t all of us created as either men or women, on this earthly plane

Destined to become many tribes and lands, no two of them exactly the same?

Why don’t we understand and respect all of our brothers’ and sisters’ pain,

Rather than turn into murderous demons, with our bloody arms raised to the sky?
