E Ala Iwi (Awaken the Bone)

Intro - Deep, Slow Pahu Drums (Boom... Boom-Boom-Boom...)
Sound of ocean crashing, low humming.
Male Vocalist (Whisper-chanting):
E ala... e ala... (Awaken... awaken...)
Hanu lipo... (Deep breath...)
(0:15-0:30) Verse 1 - Drums increase in speed, adding wood blocks (Ta-huhu!)
Male Vocalist (Strong, commanding):
From the deep, I hear the call
Where the ironwood trees stand tall
The ancestral spear, I grasp it tight
Born of fire, ready to fight.
(0:30-0:45) Pre-Chorus - Drums are rapid, bass intensifies
Male Vocalist (Shouting/Chanting):
Ua pōʻeleʻele! (It is dark!)
The ocean is raging, the winds turn cold
Ua mamao! (It is far!)
But the blood of the warrior is brave and bold!
(0:45-1:05) Chorus - Full percussion, cinematic swells, backing male chants
Male Vocalist (Anthemic/Powerful):
E ALA! (AWAKEN!)
Rise up, spirits of the shore!
E MĀLAMA! (PROTECT!)
We guard the reef forevermore!
The drums of the Pahu are shaking the ground
No retreating, no turning around!
HA! (Punchy breath)
(1:05-1:20) Bridge - Drum solo, rapid, frenzied
(Male voice doing rapid "grunt-verse" style, like a Haka)
Voices:
Hiii! Huh! Hiii! Huh!
Aia lā! Aia lā! (There it is!)
Kū kiaʻi! Kū kiaʻi! (Stand guard!)
(1:20-1:35) Final Chorus - Maximum volume
Male Vocalist:
E ALA!
Rise up, spirits of the shore!
E MĀLAMA!
We guard the reef forevermore!
The drums of the Pahu are shaking the ground
No retreating, no turning around!
(1:35-End) Outro - Sharp stop on drums, last line whispered
Male Vocalist:
...I am the storm.
