Te tino, tino rangatiratanga
O o ratou whenua
Tino, tino rangatiratanga
O ratou kainga
Tino rangatiratanga
Me o ratou taonga katoa
Waikato Awa
He piko, he taniwha
Kingi Tawhiao
Me Wiremu Tamihana
Ki Rangiriri e tū ana
Ko Te Whiti o Rongomai
Ki Parihaka e noho ana

But you cannot take from who we are
You cannot take our mana
You cannot take our māoritanga
You cannot take our people
You cannot take our whakapapa
You cannot take, you cannot take

As a Hawaiian, I agree... they cannot take our mana! I love that you are telling your story through metal!

[callumleask]

As a native aoteraroain. I'm proud as of you young men representing our nation of warriors. We bleed for this. This is battle time.

[sobersky]

I think your language is made for and of metal. Wonderful.

[ashwinrawat]

Love from India, I just discovered this band and I'm addicted! Our ancestors fought hard to keep our lands and culture alive, although we have lost half of our lands, you guys had it much rougher. Good to see you rise again.

[amowyman]

I am a "Yakama" A Nation in Washington state. & i gotta say we went through the same shit. Love the way you guys still recognize, what still isn't Acknowledged.

[HomemakerDaze]

I'm a new zealander and never really been into Maori culture/language but this is getting me interested. And i'm really proud of these young guys. My sons young and has long hair and when i was watching them perform i just kept picturing my son. He has two metal-head parents so i bet it could happen. What an inspiration.

[krueg]

You have renewed my faith in Metal by a new It's been awhile since I have listened to something new and been this blown away.

[vikocho]

"The Waikato river, on every bend; a mighty war chief" the image this sentence made me conjure in my brain is just so badass.

[marcusnorenberg]

das ist alles, was geht! Zu Dritt so einen track zu erzeugen... das ist MAGIE!

[Pedro-uzjz]

As a Mexican-American, I feel your pride and culture through metal music. And that's one culture we cannot be denied. Awesome work guys!

i was never truly interested in my heritage which i know sounds bad but this really makes me proud to be maori

[camflanagan]

The hairs on my back stand up when I hear this music. Brilliant concept and execution.
