Our brothers are
life-makers and masters of life. Many are our
brothers and strong. They will come after us.

in their hands. There is a sign. This night,
and soon, will the Wolf of Darkness eat the
moon. And by that sign will our brothers come
on the trail we have broken.
_(As final preparation for the killing is

{Sun Man}
Our brothers will come after
By the courses that we lay;
Many and strong our brothers,
Masters of life are they.
{Sun Men}
Our brothers will come after
On our trail to farthest lands;
Our brothers will come after
With the thunder in their hands.
Loud will be the weeping,
Red will be the reaping,
High will be the heaping
Of the slain their law commands.
{Sun Man}
Plowers of land, our brothers,
Of the hills and pleasant leas;
Under the sun our brothers
With their keels will plow the seas.
{Sun Men}
Our brothers will come after,
On our trail to farthest lands;
