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

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!
