1. They danced, so war arose and spears intertwined
From every firm bow when bent

2. They drew from the black scabbards gleaming swords
White, so we knew not against us or for us

3. They shook the boughs and shouldered their burdens
Bearing mountains, so it was clear injustice

4. From every saddle like the humped sand dune contention
With firmer, softer thrust than spear

5. They repelled and returned, their faces traveling
Towards me, so I saw death and attainment

6. They guaranteed for our hearing and eyes
For the eye their dancing, for the ear their singing
