Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Shells on my neck Sand on my feet Sun gone down But the blood still heat [Verse 1] Venom in my veins when the war chant start Tā moko on my soul, that’s a battle-scarred heart Hawaiian warrior, bare chest, dark sky Sharks in the surf, you can see it in my eyes Polynesia pride in the sway of my stance Ancestors march every time that I dance Tides talk back when we beat on the ground Whole reef shake when we lay that sound [Chorus] Moonlight mana, we rise, we ride Ocean in my lungs, island in my stride Owls on the ridge keep watch at night Venom in the drum when we call that fight Moonlight mana, we rise, we ride Tattooed stories that the stars can’t hide From the first war cry to the dawn’s first light This is Polynesia, this is how we bite [Verse 2] Sunset fire, sky burn mango and wine Canoes cut gold right along that line Grandma on the shore with a shell in her hand Say a word, blow once, whole clan gon’ stand Owls in the ironwood, eyes glow low They’ve seen kings fall, they’ve seen crops grow I move with the ghosts that the strangers fear You hear one stomp, know the whole crew near (hey!) [Bridge] Right foot, left foot, sand take shape Drums talk thick like a coiled-up snake Sweet lei scent but the heart run wild War face paint on a gentle child [low vocal register] Chant in the dark, let the old gods guide [crescendo] Voice to the sky: we don’t run, we ride [Chorus]

Verses ride a tight, urgent pocket; drums lock with log drums and claps. Chorus widens with airy pads, distant owl calls as FX, and octave-layered vocals. Bridge strips to drums and bass then slams back into a final, crowd-style hook., hawaiian
