In Nez Perce lore
Coyote who is Mars hid himself from a monster
By painting his body with clay and lying in the grass
He then tied himself to a mountain top with a rope
And waited with 5 knives
The monster who was Saturn that transformed into Satan
Sucked up people as they drifted upwards
The monster was a circular ball of flame
That covered one fifth of the sky
And sent out snake like filaments of writhing plasma to the earth
He had the sound of Godzilla
And his voice made the heavens tremble
His winds blew dust and debris everywhere
Then came a thick fog
And the land turned into the valley of darkness
People sought refuge under the ground
This was the same event as the plagues of Egypt
Afterwards as the sky became permeated with plasma energy
There was the sound of silence
And telepathy
People talked without speaking
They heard without listening
And their words like silent raindrops fell
Echoing in the wells of silence
Then the signs flashed out their warning
In the words that they were forming
So the people bowed and prayed
To the neon gods they made
While they walked alone
On the streets of cobblestone
Listening to the sounds of silence!
