The Lyrics

The maero are described by the Maori (the native race of New Zealand) as looking much like themselves, except that the maero were bigger and had shaggy hair growing all over their bodies. The maero were exceptionally strong, even for their size. They did not wear clothes and had few of the trappings of civilization, though they did use stone clubs. According to traditional history and folklore, the maero were more or less constantly at war with the Maori. As a result of this war, the maero had been driven into the most rugged and inhospitable areas, where they barely survived, in small numbers. The maero would kill any human beings they happened to come across, and they seemed to have no cannibalism taboo, because they generally ate these victims.
Maori fought the Maero
once upon a time

Hairy beasts, cannibalistic too
Maori weren’t lyin’
They were terrifyin’

Maori warriors drove them out
Forced ’em to higher ground
Maoris beat those savages
The man-beasts were hunted down

Maori fought the Maero
once upon a time
Gigantic size

Maero
Maero
Maero
New Zealand legend
Were a different species
Giant, hairy man-beasts
Were not quite human

Wild savagery
Maori fought the Maero
once upon a time
(folklore or history?)
