Kai Whatu – Alien Weaponry

Kōhumuhumu ana nga karu ārohi
Nga ingoa o nga Māori ka pāhunu
Kahore e mōhio, tō tūhura
Ko tōku utu tō matakite

E rua nga karu, te pāremete me te kuīnitanga
Ka inu tō toto, Kaiwhatu ahau, Paimārire mātou

Kahore e whakahaumaru tō karakia
Mai te rakau whiro ka iri ana koe
Ka tīwara tō tīnana mo te wā kai
He reka tō karu ki a Kaiwhatu

E rua nga karu, te pāremete me te kuīnitanga
Ka inu tō toto, Kaiwhatu ahau, Paimārire mātou

Hau!

Auē!
Auē ha!

Kaiwhatu!

Hau hau! Paimārire mātou!

Hau hau! Kaiwhatu!

[English translation:]

The spying eyes whisper
The names of the Māori that will burn
Unaware you’ve been discovered
My revenge is your prophecy

There are two eyes, the parliament and the rule of the queen
Your blood is drunk, I am The Eye Eater, We are Paimārire

Your prayers will not protect you
From the willow tree you hang
Your body is cut up ready to be eaten
Your eyes are tasty morsels for The Eye Eater

There are two eyes, the parliament and the rule of the queen
Your blood is drunk, I am The Eye Eater, We are Paimārire

Hau!
Hau!
Hau!
Hau!
Hau!
Hau!
Hau!
[Chant made by followers of the Paimārire religion]

Auē!
Auē ha!
[Wailing cries of war]

The Eye Eater!

Hau hau! We are Paimārire

Hau hau! The Eye Eater!
