Funny thing is it isn't a war dance. In fact it's quite the opposite.
It was written after a Maori warrior was being chased by Maori's from other tribes, he hid in some bunker and a friend told the warriors he went another way.

The first couple of lines:
Ka Mate, Ka Mate
Ka Ora, Ka Ora

literally mean:
I die, I die
I live, I live.

What gravity?

Yes it always sends a shiver down my spine.. However, when drunk ppl do it, It sends waves of laughter out my mouth.









I have decided to live forever or die in the attempt
