Taniwha (feat. Randy Blythe)

An in-balance of power

You have awakened a monster

Under the veil of innocence

A violation of land and time

Wrath falls on the hour

It has come to devour

The beast delivering your penance

A restitution for savage crimes

Kua matapihipihi ngā rangi

Ka kitea koe e te Taniwha

Ka horomia ō koutou kāinga

Kua whakararu koe i te taniwha

Taniwha

Kāore he tauritenga o te hautūtanga

Kua whakararu koe i te taniwha

He nui tō tango, he whakamā

Ka tiakina mātou e te Taniwha

I murua ngā whenua i a mātou

Kua matapihipihi ngā rangi

Ka kitea koe e te Taniwha

Ka horomia ō koutou kāinga

Kua whakararu koe i te taniwha

Taniwha

Down beneath the river bed, a single eye awakes

Angered by the disrespect of those who only take

Never heeding warnings, an invader far too proud

So arrogant beneath the shadow of the long, white cloud

Rising from the river bed, it moves without a sound

Now you die beneath the shadows of the long, white cloud

I hangaia e koutou ki runga whenua muru

Stolen land

Nō koutou tēnei whenua? Me hoki atu

We demand

Engari i tāhaetia kotahi rau tau ki muri

From the past

Kāore koe e mōhio ki ngā tukunga iho

Claiming land, but you will never learn

That paper deeds will always burn

In the eye of the spiral, a balance will be reborn

By teeth of the Taniwha

Or strike of the taiaha

All that's built on your theft and lies must fall and fade in turn

Kua matapihipihi ngā rangi

You have awakened a monster

Ka kitea koe e te Taniwha

Wrath falls on the hour

Ka horomia ō koutou kāinga

A violation of land and time

Kua whakararu koe i te taniwha

Taniwha
