¤¤ Parihaka (tribal story teller) (Remastered)

[Sad chorus singing intro] Whispered winds through mountains tall Stories carved on every wall New Zealand's history was not told (enough) [...] Footsteps echo in the void Legacy we can't avoid Tohu Kakahi lost too much Women were raped and no more touch Parihaka ruled the world of [...] [Crying shaman voices] Green lands stretching far and wide Ancient hearts where spirits bide Ocean's breath and river's song (inherited you and me) New Zealand calling me to discover the deep tides COME ALONG! [Chorus] Parihaka's voices rise! Through the land, under the skies Peace and strength through every stride in this home We take our pride No more suffering, no more pain Our gods love all in here [...] Tales of courage through the years Turning pain into our cheers Hands that build and hearts that mend Resilience that never bends! AAH! [Loud piano solo] [Bridge] Echoes of a rich past sing Promises of what you'll bring Wise Spirits, d'you hear us?! Plant your roots and let them cling To the hopes a new-dawn-brings [Chorus] Parihaka's voices rise! Through the land, under the skies Peace and strength through every stride in this home We take our pride No more suffering, no more pain Our gods love all in here [...] Parihaka voices rise We take our pride, Land is here and now [Oboa slow music] [Epic outro] Among us... Goddess Help us... Spirits fly ... AGAIN! (Kurawaka...) [Shamanic sing outro]
