Echoes of the Tide (Huli i ke Kumu)

[Intro (chant style, layered male vocal stack)] He aloha ke kai — the ocean is love. Huli i ke kumu — return to the source. [Verse 1] Steel in my hands, salt in my veins, I hear the waves whispering names. My mission is code, but my soul is lei, Carried by winds from the shores of the bay. [Chorus:] I walk with my ghosts, I move like the tide, I don't run from the deep — I’ve learned to reside. This ocean inside me, it never forgets, So I go where the ancestors haven't left yet. [Interlude (Techno Hawaiian Tone)] Rhythms of the surf in electronic sway, Pulsing to the heart of a digital lei. Beneath the stars, where lava flows glide, Echoes of aloha in the techno tide.
