"Born of Rarohenga in the realm of the deep Through mists of the ages the sages do keep The sacred links and priestly connections to WhakaRuuaumoko the fledging god turned under Beneath the surface of Mother Gaia Given to him in a sacred fire Eruptions volcanic through veins of the Earth Our mother beautifully scarred and adorned gives birth to her children Off the redness of earth from Kuruwaka are we Reflecting the gods perfectly, divinely Great Taane our father progenitor true of Hine and Tiki from Papatuanuku!"
"Deep are the furrows of kauri stained brows Ancient the blood stained chisel that ploughs Through flesh and bone ancestral lines chiefly in origin and intent This privileged legacy of sacred descent Masterfully delineated in symmetrical prose Resting on layers of glory and woes Bridging the worlds of darkness and light He of the light and she of the night Brought chisel and healing to the realm of the light Thus are the origins of the ancient mark Thus is the journey of which we embark!"
