Kai Tangata

A war party, a war party!
 
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Many heads are sought
Many slaves are sought
This is the work of Tūmatauenga.1
 
Behold
The chisel of Mataora2
The strong back
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The base of the spine
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
 
A mighty battle to avenge us
Our ancestors gather to assist us
Our priests prepare the incantations
This is the work of Tūmatauenga.1
 
Behold
The chisel of Mataora2
The strong back
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The base of the spine
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
 
Of Tūmatauenga1
This is the work of Tūmatauenga.1
 
The cry of guns, the blows of the taiaha3
The sweet flesh of our enemies
The ovens fill our bellies with revenge
This is the work of Tūmatauenga.1
 
Behold
The chisel of Mataora2
The strong back
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The base of the spine
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
 
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath.

I think the order of the chorus lines got mixed up, I think it should be:
Behold
The chisel of Mataora
The strong back
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The base of the spine
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
