Desecration Lyrics







This is desecration

An abomination

Rise up, stand up for Mauna Kea

Eō, Hawaiian nation!



Look at our kūpuna

Standing on the front line

Arrested and exhorted

Taken by their own kind

You guys are hewa

How do you ever go to sleep at night?



Corrupted politicians

Wanna shape our lives

They wanna take our culture

Make us fall for their demise

You guys are hewa

You guys know you gotta make this right



This is desecration

An abomination

Rise up, stand up for Mauna Kea

Eō, Hawaiian nation!



Look at our keiki

You can see it in their eyes

Tears of frustration

Sick and tired of their lives

You guys are hewa

Your greed for money sure has made you blind



This is desecration

An abomination

Rise up, stand up for Mauna Kea

Eō, Hawaiian nation!

E ʻiho ana e luna e lalo pili ana o hui ana moku e kū ana ka paia

3x



They come with their guns

Like a thief in the night

Our people still show aloha

Thatʻs the way they fight

The world is watching

You know gotta make things right



This is desecration

An abomination

Rise up, stand up for Mauna Kea

Eō, Hawaiian nation!
