MAURI - the sustenance
What is it in the will of a People A sustenance of survival truly divine From where is the reason of those Guarded by sanctity, halting decline What is it that which survives Which nourishes my spirit alive What is it that which guides The beauty of justice The soul of all tides What is it the bond that determines The will that fights with knowing Why is it the calling is strong Why of essence will we never be gone Why is it there's still authority In untenable cultural neglection From where do our dreams still care From where does all time unfold What is it constant in our character Resisting perpetration What is it initiated in our culture That emanates such lifefull expression Keep your head high What is it of our minds That affirms us together as one Why are we increasing When they try to usurp us from the sun Why is it as you grow There's affinity from within it glows Why is it all the while We uphold and aroha flows Raise it to the sky

TOKOTU - the increasing
SANCTITY - the essence
Guided by the source of an almighty Divinity's enshrined with no glory From some or nothing honoured by any Many have fallen for silver and penny Gone not forgotten fate's no victory Shielded frowns betray mock authority Cloaks and gowns grounded in antiquity Pass away unchain inner sanctity Notions of grandeur accomplished shall crumble Walking in the belly of deceit why stumble In all kings and peasants's a will to yearn Majestic is the promise of once is learned In broken honour the answers are found In silenced whispers the truths not bound In broken shells the trumpets sound In open minds the lies are drowned For wounded hearts loud is a call For borrowed yearnings many fall For theirs is not a judgement day For woefulness averts repay It's hope stuck in the sinking sand It's reaching out for shaking hands It's knowing not of wisdom told It's fearing that one can't bold When all has failed hear pity stall When hope is lost resource stands tall When reasons known the hearts renewed Attainment is due The essence, The temple door, Bound up, Locked up, But no more
NGAKI - the compulsion
Tü ake tü tonu You talk of me with a stench I know too well It comes from you he of ugly intent Your ways not yet banished Shall be discarded Even by those to be born by you Of your tortured suffering all shall be free It is not your place to desire of me complacency When it is party to your own downfall Oh weep you shall as you smile Smug in your assumptions You refuse to be corrected A breed perversed in institutions Well versed in denial and the tact of avoidance It is I who champions your destruction It is I The compulsion
REBELLION - the usurpation
The true rebels are rulers of nations True rebels are false civilisations Dem rebel against the words of great fathers Desecrate the beauty of we mother They will seek to destroy Everything they cannot control Try extinguish the mauri they cannot behold A life is born a life shall die Dem scorch de earth dem blight da sky Perverted seasons asking why A seed shall sow shall multiply Shall multiply The true rebels are rulers of nations The true rebels are false civilisations Dem rebel against the words of great fathers Dem desecrate the beauty of we mother In sentences of stone and water Blood drips on all sons and daughters In laws of man is disorder Righteousness overcomes all borders All borders To err is to show of a master To deter why has one got such armour Hungers not leased to the heart A fire has burned from the start A fire has burned from the start The true rebels are rulers of nations The true rebels are false civilisations Them rebel against the words of great fathers Dem desecrate the beauty of we mother

TRUTH - the constant
The truth is, the truth is the constant The truth is, the truth reigns supreme It's not matter of her truth or his truth All there is is the truth It's not that what somebody believes is their truth And what somebody else believes is their truth Because there is only truth, the constant The truth is the constant, the truth is It's not objective, subjective, or fundamentalist It is realist but it's beyond the fact As defined by physics in realms of mens minds The truth is, the truth is, the constant The truth does not change The truth is beyond ones belief The truth does not seek to exist When human minds forget The truth is the constant The truth is the constant The truth is the constant The truth reigns supreme

You gots to be a wronging da belonging
VICTORY - the perseverance
This victory's ours to reap No mystery can defeat E kore e taea te kino Kua mate te vampire This victory's ours to reap No mystery can defeat Misplaced dreams and visions frayed Are bait for those easily persuaded By sinking feelings lost in fear True faith will arise and share With those who don't seek quick relief A joy of victory won't cease Safe in conviction falter not With open eyes we'll rumble hot So cleanse your heart from deceitful plots This victory cannot be stopped Come one I come pull them undone The sword and the stone and the gun The wall and the fence which become Will crumble witnessed by the sun The call has been answered so come The battle is fought they have run Gone is needless despair Searching for saviours right here There ain't no time for disruption Victory come 4 seen by creation Da severing born ta conquer Te hiringa we only go forward Da calling a constant increasing Perseverance an affinity being War seen untenable te ngaki Te maringitanga nourishing initiation Yes yes a victory come a babylon done Kua täharahara ngä kino dem run Affirmation from essence sincere usurpation is none we all here, we all here Soldiers of Truth mash down ill-religion Enslaved have been the fearful many years Partitioned division in wicked missions Perceive corruption allay your fears
