Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– He mea noa iho te makariri i waenganui o te poka pango?
Ooh, bitch
– E te wahine
The signal fire’s gonna burn out
– Ka mura te ahi tohu
Through the sirens and the flares
– Mā ngā pūoho me ngā pūoho
I was swallowed by the storm clouds
– I horomia ahau e nga kapua o te tupuhi
Hail stones on a glass house
– He kohatu Hail i runga i te whare karaihe
There were diamonds in the air
– He taimana kei te rangi
And the oxygen left my chest
– Na ka mahue te hāora i toku uma
Lost souls trapped beneath this ceiling
– Ko ngā wairua ngaro i mau ki raro i tēnei tuanui
It’s figure eight ’til the ghosts have been laid to rest
– Ko te ahua waru ‘ kia oti ra ano nga wairua te okioki
Pull it tight, try to stop this bleeding
– Kumea te reira raru, tamata ki te mutu tenei toto
Stampede as the horrors run through my head
– Ka rere te rere i te wa e rere ana nga whakamataku i roto i toku mahunga
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– I titiro te mate a kotahi mano nga wa i mate ai ahau
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– I waiho e Nightmares he tutu i roto i toku hinengaro
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– I tenei ra he koretake mena kaore he apopo?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Poutumarotanga, tapahia e matou nga aho mana
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Ehara i te marama engari ko te ahi i roto i oku kanohi
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– I tenei ra he koretake mena kaore he apopo?
Ooh, bitch
– E te wahine
Sick of living with the pain now
– He ngenge ki te ora me te mamae inaianei
Someone take me for repair
– Ka tangohia ahau e tētahi hei whakatika
There’s a bitter taste in my mouth
– He reka kawa kei roto i toku mangai
In the silence, there was ill health
– I te puku, he mate hauora
Maybe life just isn’t fair
– Kaore pea te ora i te tika
Maybe I’m just fucking self-obsessed
– Akene he tino hiahia ahau ki a au ano
Don’t say I gotta chase this feeling
– Kaua e mea me whai ahau i tēnei whakaaro
Bullets hit, but it’s only gonna dent the vest
– Ka pā mai ngā pere, engari ka pakaru noa te koti
Wartime with the whole world sleeping
– I te wā o te pakanga me te ao katoa e moe ana
Bombs drop on the prison hope built instead
– Ka hinga ngā poma ki te whare herehere i hangaia e hope
Struck down
– I patua
Souls carried through an unknown universe
– Ngā wairua i kawea i roto i tētahi ao kāore i mōhiotia
No service for the faithless, everything turns to dust
– Kaore he mahi mo te hunga whakaponokore, ka huri nga mea katoa ki te puehu
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– I titiro te mate a kotahi mano nga wa i mate ai ahau
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– I waiho e Nightmares he tutu i roto i toku hinengaro
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– I tenei ra he koretake mena kaore he apopo?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Poutumarotanga, tapahia e matou nga aho mana
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Ehara i te marama engari ko te ahi i roto i oku kanohi
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– I tenei ra he koretake mena kaore he apopo?
There were diamonds in the air
– He taimana kei te rangi
And the oxygen left my chest
– Na ka mahue te hāora i toku uma
Is there anybody there?
– He tangata kei reira?
I pray that I’ll be blessed
– Ka inoi ahau kia manaakitia ahau
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Te rangi ki Te Whenua, E mohio Ana Anake Te Atua ki te mea kei konei tatou i roto I te wairua
Chapter and verse, there’s nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Pene me te irava, kahore he wahi ki te haere ina ko te rangi te rohe
Reign, reign
– Te kingitanga, te kingitanga
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– He mea noa iho te makariri i waenganui o te poka pango?
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Te rangi ki Te Whenua, E mohio Ana Anake Te Atua ki te mea kei konei tatou i roto I te wairua
Chapter and verse, nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Pene me te irava, kahore he wahi ki te haere ina ko te rangi te rohe
