Where the water meets the flame,

Is where the land meets the sky.

Where the land meets the sky,

Is where we grow and prosper.

We grow and prosper,

because we give offering to Krasa.

We gave offering to Krasa,

So she looked down, eyes made of smoke.

She looked down, eyes made of smoke,

to behold us, her flock and her chosen.

She saw the crops of our fields, and the fruit we had plucked.

She saw the sweat of our backs, and the fish we have caught.

She saw the devotion that we gave to her, the love that we had.

She saw the strength of our arms, and the resolve to have fought.

When Krasa saw our passion,

She came forth with her own.

When she came forth with her own,

She made mankind a blessing.

When she made mankind a blessing,

She parted the seas and brought creation to the land.

When she parted the seas and brought creation to the land,

A black island kissed with fire stone rose.

When a black island kissed with fire stone rose,

It glimmered like glass and shimmering like stars.

Her gift brought wheat to the fields, more and more each day,

Her gift brought fish to the coast, more and more each day,

Her gift brought stars to the heavens, more and more each night,

Her gift brought life to our lives, more and more each night.

The fight against the thieves who soared against the sky,

Began many years ago.

Many years ago,

Was when man had the island of paradise.

When man had the island of paradise,

Was when the Tawhaki came to steal and ruin.

The Tawhaki came to steal and ruin,

So man fought against them with all his might.

Man fought against them with all his might,

But they could not soar against the heavens.

Their speartips did not reach high.

Their canoes did not move fast.

Their bodies did not endure.

Their spirits did not last.

The Tawhaki ruined the blessed isle,

So Krasa searched the night sky.

When Krasa searched the night sky,

She found a giant made of black stone.

When Krasa found the giant,

She called him down from the heavens.

When she called him down from the heavens,

She gave him the name Toka,

When she gave him the name Toka,

She handed him a spear made of light.

She bade him to go forth and slay the demon-thieves.

She bade him to lead man to defeat them all.

She bade him to claim vengeance for that sin.

She bade him to kill them all.

When Toka went forth,

All men chose to follow.

When all men chose to follow,

They went on ten thousand canoes.

When they went on ten thousand canoes,

Toka lit the sky with thunder.

When Toka lit the sky with thunder,

All the demons fell to land.

When all the demons fell to land,

Mankind destroyed them for their crime.

They skewered their bodies with spears.

They piled their bones into islands.

They poured their blood into the water.

They hacked their heads off as oblation.

When mankind destroyed the Tawhaki,

Toka went to the bone islands.

When he went to the bone islands,

He made a new blessing.

When he made a new blessing,

They burst into a thousand colors.

When they burst into a thousand colors,

They brought life from across the oceans.

When they brought life from across the oceans,

Toka spoke for why he had blessed.

He spoke that man had fought bravely,

He spoke that they deserve treasures,

He spoke that he made the reefs across the sea,

He spoke that it was to bring mankind pleasures.

When Toka finished with the reefs,

He went to the waters.

When he went to the waters,

He blessed them once more.

When he blessed them once more,

The shores teemed with fish.

When the shores teemed with fish,

Toka spoke for why he had blessed.

He spoke that man had fought bravely,

He spoke that the fish had been stolen from them.

He spoke that they would return forever,

He spoke that they would forever feed all men.

When Toka finished with the waters,

He took up all the heads.

When he took up all the heads,

He gave them as sacrifice to Krasa.

When he gave them as sacrifice to Krasa,

Krasa took him into her heart.

When Krasa took him into her heart,

Krasa spoke once more.

Krasa spoke that Toka had blessed them.

Krasa spoke that they had shown thieves no mercy.

Krasa spoke that their fields would blossom again.

Krasa spoke that they were truly most worthy.

When Krasa was done speaking,

She made the demons' eyes into sparkling peridot.

When she made the demons' eyes into sparkling peridot,

All mankind reveled in celebration.

When all mankind reveled in celebration,

They vowed to never forget.

When they vowed to never forget,

They told tales of their great victory.

Never forget that all the world is a gift.

Never forget to destroy thieves as they scum they are.

Never forget to celebrate our lives.

And never forget we owe all to Krasa Lara.
