[hometext] => Inspired by tales of 'Kepong' Hill and Lt. Adnan's holding action in the early days of Malaysian history. A dash of local color. Indeed this is in tribute to warriors everywhere whose willing sacrifices in hopeless battles shaped the history of nations.
[bodytext] => On a silent mountain ringed by enemy steel stood the lonely defenders martrys living still sons of ancient warriors fathers of proud family fighting men of valor legends of bravery in the teeth of death facing savage destiny they scream their last breaths in defiant litany pierced by deadly bullets slashed by wicked blades their bodies stood testament to their courage and bloody fates crimson rivers of blood sacrificed for loyalty a legacy that survives in honor and memory as the birds of carrion to the battle scene surveys the trees bow in reverence the wind's farewell trumpets play quiet flights of angels lifts from broken bodies their souls serene surreal straight to heaven upon celestial eddies.
