Lembayung
Meriuhkan sengketa
Wooh.
Yang mengguruh di dada

Bumi kian resah bergetar
Wooh.
Adakah bara nurani
Yeayea

Aku harus berjuang
Aku harus berperang
Tegak melawan dendam dan cinta

Oh.
Benih yang tertanam
Di hatiku dulu
Kini pun masih tertinggal

Oh.
Cinta yang bersemi
Diantara duka
Mampukah menghapus dendam

Lembayung
Meriuhkan sengketa
Wooh.

Bumi kian resah bergetar
Wooh.

Aku harus berperang
Tegak melawan dendam dan cinta
