Memorialize the day of 15th February
The day Singapore our dearly loved homeland fell to the Japanese

Remind ourselves to be primed as one and whole
There’s more in the future to hold

One of five there’s the civil defence
To protect one another behind the fence

Blood donations and air-raid exercises
Keep us prepared and on the go

Economic defence we achieve our greatest
To ensure the state’s growth

Including the prosperity and opportunities
Take the chance and work smart

Coming right up we join hands as one
Social defence we contribute to

Harmony in races and religions
Off with the evil discriminations

Fourth up is the military defence
Keeping fit and responsive to no end

Cheer on our captains and army
Taking their training seriously

Last but not least we have our homes
No matter if you’re lone or solo

Psychological defence we experience a shared nation
Believe in Singapore and bring it down

Pause and stop in your stride
Think of the total defence

Do something for the landThe future is in our hands

As the sky gets darker
my life turns shorter
As my memories blind me
my tears become floods
As my feelings are confused
my soul is used as a victim
As my heart beats continuously
my blood started to slow
As the time becomes shorter
my life becomes lonelier
As the clouds move away
i live all alone and in sorrow
-Iseult

Day by day people change
Inch by inch
the future twists
One by one
they all fade
Down to zero
to my fate
-Iseult

By the night
let ur unite
Through candlelight
let us ignite
The promise of gain
comes tears with rain
The sound of cane
from flooding lanes
-Iseult

Feelings of a human
knowledge of a begger
Pollution of the modern
tradition of the region
Wisedom of the younger
ignorance of the famous
Blind yourself and shut your eyes
feel the world outside the line
-Iseult

Actions of a man
dreams of a girl
Fears of the young
Laughter of the old
Hurt of the forgotten
Snickers of the arrogant
Thinking of the alecks
knowing of the lone
-Iseult
