about

The Māori (/ˈmaʊri/; Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaːɔɾi] are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. The Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages at some time between 1250 and 1300 CE.
The haka (plural haka, as in Māori, so in English) is a traditional war cry, war dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.
War haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition, but haka are also performed for various reasons: for welcoming distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals, and kapa haka performance groups are very common in schools.
This song was inspired by the idea that the violence of our past ancestors should not be forgotten, but should serve as a lesson that can be used for good.

lyrics

V1
History doesn't write itself
It is done so by the victor
Stories told, carry a biased view
To question means you see no valid answer

Bridge
Lines carved
in my face
Serve as a warning,
I know this place

V. 5
Illuminate, the path that lays before you
Don't ignore, the broken road behind
Always is, the turmoil deep inside you
Never fear, what you may find

Chorus
Living is, a Provocation of war
Embedded is our inheritance
Rarely are, the people in control
We, will hunt, and find our arrogance

V2
Standing strong, a living monument
Attributed to trials of the past
Never fail, only live and learn
And yet we fail to admit the last....wrong

V 2.5
Vicious breed, born in captivity
Poked and prodded, expecting excellence
Side effect, to being raised on a leash
The mind has a way of showing dissonance...

History doesn't write itself
It is done so by the victor
Stories told, carry a biased view
To question means you see no valid answer lop

Bridge 2
Tell me you don't see the contradiction
Tell me you don't see all the lies
Tell me what you see isn't hollow
Tell me you don't feel the rise

Chorus
Living is, a Provocation of war
Embedded is our inheritance
Rarely are, the people in control
We, will hunt, and find our arrogance
