Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Generals gathered in their masses
– I huihui nga rangatira i roto i o ratou tini
Just like witches at black masses
– Ka rite ki nga kairangi i nga mass black
Evil minds that plot destruction
– Ngā hinengaro kino e whakatakoto ana i te whakangaromanga
Sorcerer of death’s construction
– Ko te hanganga o te sorcerer of death
In the fields, the bodies burning
– I nga mara, ka tahuna nga tinana
As the war machine keeps turning
– I te wā e huri haere ana te mīhini whawhai
Death and hatred to mankind
– Te mate me te kino ki te tangata
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
– Te whakamamae i ō rātou hinengaro kua horoia te roro
Oh, Lord, yeah
– E Te Ariki, yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
– Ka huna ngā kaitōrangapū i a rātau
They only started the war
– I tīmata anake rātau i te pakanga
Why should they go out to fight?
– He aha ratou i haere ai ki te whawhai?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
– Ka waiho e ratou katoa ki te rawakore, ae
Time will tell on their power minds
– Ka whakaatu te wā i runga i o rātau hinengaro mana
Making war just for fun
– Te hanga pakanga mō te ngahau anake
Treating people just like pawns in chess
– Te atawhai i te tangata kia rite ki ngā pū i te tākaro tēnehi
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah
– Taria kia tae mai ra ano to ratou ra whakawa, ae
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
– Na, i te pōuri, ka mutu te huri o te ao
Ashes where their bodies burning
– He pungarehu kei reira o ratou tinana e tahuna ana
No more war pigs have the power
– Kāore he mana o ngā poaka whawhai
Hand of God has struck the hour
– Kua patua te ringa O te Atua i te haora
Day of Judgment, God is calling
– Te rā O Te Whakawa, E karanga Ana Te Atua
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
– I runga i o rātau turi, e kōkiri ana ngā poaka whawhai
Begging mercies for their sins
– E inoi ana kia tohungia o ratou hara
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
– Ko hatana, e kata ana, e hora ana i ona parirau
Oh, Lord, yeah
– E Te Ariki, yeah
