Summary[]

Hear my voice, Manitou of Wind!
I prepare for war;
I see you enter the enemy's lair;
I see you ignore all his wards;
Like you I shall go,
I wish your invisible swiftness;
I wish the vengeance of your thunder;
I muster my pack;
I follow your flight.
Ho, you young Garou warriors,
Bear your rage to the place of fighting!

Here on my breast have I bled!
See - see! these are battle-scars!
Monsters tremble at my howl!
I fight for Muzzu-Kummik-Quae.
I fight for the Earth Mother.
- Wendigo War Song
