About this album

isle Park 8 tracks (27:23)
TANIWHA
isle Park

Mā te Atua me te wāhi ngaro tātou e tiaki e manaaki






Oh, father swan,

Will bird
Listen to the water
That making waiora of green

Who ever watched Whai under moonlight?
A message carried out of ocean

Flowers growing out of my skin
Sew me tight,
Needles of the time

Desire, my taniwha,
Touch my skin hair & tongue
Do not
Touch my skin hair & tongue

Taniwha
are supernatural creatures whose forms and characteristics vary according to different tribal traditions. Though supernatural, in the Māori world view they were seen as part of the natural environment. Taniwha have been described as fabulous monsters that live in deep water. Others refer to them as dragons – many taniwha looked like reptiles, had wings and ate people. They could also take the shape of animals such as sharks, whales, octopuses, or even logs. Some taniwha could change their shape, moving between different forms.
