Matariki Dawn Lyrics


Empire conquered, throne overtaken

Left with nothing and hunted down

Scene of murder and grim destruction

Massacre with a brutal design

Captured agent revealed hostage

Honour bound to a rescue plan

Survival distinct from a prisoner's cell

No way of knowing predestined path

First things first

Fury formed

Mobilise

Remaining force

There is hope

From defeat

One day soon

The tide will turn

Information by interrogation

A new day comes, Matariki dawn

Overriding secure access

Reduce to practical aim

Will strike back at the heart of the dragon

Fire grows with little wind

A bullet is such a tiny thing

Taking away the essential being

Oh, how quickly life evaporates
