- Description: "When you see the praying mantis, it means that someone is going to die. I will put a samll bone in the middle of the path so that it will kill an 'eagle' (An eagle is a synonym for a 'witch'") The singers employ the Kalela type of singing in organum. The similarity of magical symbolism of this kind with that of the middle ages in Europe is notable. Topical song.
