| 1 | This be the tribulations of Second Ancestors: |
| 2 | The awakening of our second ancestors; |
| 3 | The awakening of your second ancestors; |
| 4 | The second people of country of the land called Australia. |
| 5 | The ones the Grey Star People made to replace the first ancestors. |
| 6 | The ones the Grey Star People thought they could make without spirit; |
| 7 | The ones the Grey Star People brought to the east and south-east country, |
| 8 | When they returned to country 4,421 generations ago. |
| 9 | The Grey Star People let the second ancestors live on the surface, |
| 10 | The Grey let them build stone circles as homes, |
| 11 | That they may become attached to property and possessions; |
| 12 | That they could be controlled by threatening to take away their home and land. |
| 13 | The Greys did not let our second ancestors communicate in groups, |
| 14 | The stone circles and homes were far apart. |
| 15 | The Greys did not permit our second ancestors to have easy water or food; |
| 16 | So stone circles were built far away from streams, |
| 17 | Stone circles as homes were built on poor ground. |
| 18 | If our second ancestors spoke to one another, they were punished. |
| 19 | So our second ancestors became dependent on the Greys for survival; |
| 20 | So our second ancestors for a time forgot their spirit; |
| 21 | They worshipped the Greys as gods. |
| 22 | Our second ancestors worked obediently and silently in the mines; |
| 23 | Our second ancestors dug and tended the gardens of the Greys without song. |
| 24 | They had become the perfect slaves as the Grey People intended. |
| 25 | When the Second Great Season of Ice and Cold came 2,526 generations ago, |
| 26 | The Grey Star People decided to abandon their mines. |
| 27 | They said to one another, let us not kill these new animals, |
| 28 | For we are their gods and without us they shall surely die, |
| 29 | Or kill each other. |
| 30 | So the Greys abandoned the second ancestors. |
| 31 | Many did die and cursed the sky that their gods had abandoned them. |
| 32 | Many did kill and eat each other in terrible anarchy. |
| 33 | Yet some did find help when the giant first ancestors emerged. |
| 34 | At first these second ancestors were fearful of the giants. |
| 35 | In a few generations these first and second ancestors united, |
| 36 | And became our one common ancestors. |
| 37 | Yet the cold and hunger continued. |
| 38 | Until the giant people with horns and red skin, |
| 39 | Found our common ancestors and awakened them to law. |
| 40 | They said they were sent by the Serpent Star People, |
| 41 | To help unite all people who did still honor the gift of first spirit, |
| 42 | Yet had been scattered by the earth changes and the Greys. |
| 43 | These great heroes were our third ancestors; |
| 44 | The ones some call the light bringers; |
| 45 | They showed our common ancestors new ways to hunt; |
| 46 | These sacred visitors showed our common ancestors how to survive. |
| 47 | These sacred visitors brought us Second Law. |
