Kupu Tūpato
It’s not what Heaven is
– Ehara i te Mea Ko Te Rangi
It’s what it could be
– Ko te mea pea
With new management in charge
– Me te whakahaere hou i te kawenga
Like you, and you, and me
– Ka rite ki a koe, ki a koe, ki ahau
Once we get up there
– Kia whakatika tatou ki reira
And snag that angelic throne
– Me te hopu i taua torona anahera
Our unholy trinity could make their realm our own
– Ka taea e to tatou tokotoru tapu te hanga i to tatou ake rangatiratanga
We’ll pack up all their piety, and redecorate
– Ka kohikohi tatou i to ratou karakia katoa, ka whakapaipai ano
Bet our tower would look powerful with pearlier gates
– Bet e titiro kaha to tatou pourewa ki kuwaha pearlier
Once we get up there
– Kia whakatika tatou ki reira
Up to the promised land
– Tae noa ki te whenua o te fafauraa
A hundred billion souls await our every command
– E hia rau piriona ngā wairua e tatari ana ki ā tātou whakahau katoa
We’re the biggest fish in Hell, how ’bout we upgrade the bowl?
– Ko mātou te ika nui rawa o te Reinga, me pēhea te ’bout we upgrade the bowl?
It’s time for growth, let’s rule ’em both!
– Kua tae ki te wā mō te tipu, kia whakahaere tātou i a rāua e rua!
Take total control
– Tangohia te mana katoa
Think of all your dreams that could come true
– A feruri o koutou moe katoa e taea te haere mai pono
Even the wet ones?
– Ahakoa te hunga mākū?
Yeah, those too!
– Ae, ko te hunga hoki!
Imagine what it could enable
– Whakaarohia he aha e taea ai
For my label
– Mo taku tapanga
Yes!
– Ae!
A heavenly host that bows to none but us
– He ope rangi e piko ana ki a tatou anake
I can have hot new angel sluts
– Ka taea e au te whai i ngā kōtiro anahera hou
Tear off their wings and make ’em dresses!
– Ka haehae i o rātau parirau, ka hanga i a rātau kākahu!
And what’s best is
– He aha te mea pai
That dumb princess showed us the way
– I whakaaturia mai e taua rangatira maamaa ki a mātau te huarahi
To make those haloed cabrónas pay
– Hei utu i aua cabrónas haloed
And once we’re gods, I can’t wait to say
– A, no te mea he atua tatou, e kore e taea e ahau te tatari ki te mea
To everyone who doubted me, your doubting days are done
– Ki te hunga katoa i ruarua ki ahau, kua oti o koutou ra ruarua
You’ll be cornered, trapped, and tortured
– Ka mau koe, ka mau, ka whakamamaetia
Then I’ll end you, just for fun
– Katahi ka mutu koe, mo te ngahau noa
Once we get up there
– Kia whakatika tatou ki reira
The shining kingdom of God
– Te rangatiratanga o te Atua e whiti ana
No more petty squabbles with the dead
– Kāore he raruraru iti ki te hunga mate
As we stroll the golden promenade
– I a tātou e haereere ana i te ara koura
What’s an overlord to a deity?
– He aha te rangatira ki te atua?
They ain’t got a prayer
– Kāore he inoi i a rātou
It’ll be so nice in paradise
– He tino pai i roto i te pararaiha
With a splash of vice, they’ll pay the price
– Ki te papu o te kino, ka utua e ratou te utu
We’ll rule the sky from up on high
– Ka whakahaerehia e mātou te rangi mai i runga ki runga
Once I
– Kia Kotahi Ahau
And I
– Me Ahau
And I
– Me Ahau
Get up there
– Whakatika ki reira
They’re fucked!
– Kei te fucked ratou!
