Waiting for the Enemy, You shiver!
If you said you had no fear, You lied!
Knowing that you cannot win, you wither
You're commanded to march through, defy! Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora Animals of war and d**h, the ether
Armored with their blooded paint, intimidate
Calling on their God of faith, the reaper
You can't channel inner demons, incinerate Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
