What are the lyrics of Philip Glass's "Prophecies" from his film Koyaanisqatsi?

I've recently discovered Philip Glass's work and find it interesting and moved by it. However, anywhere I look online, I can't find the lyrics to his song "Prophecies". Supposedly it's in Hopi ...
 
Did you find something?

I amlooking for the textx for quite some time now. I had contact with a man from IRE wchich had tapes with the original story in hopi. But I never got to them.
I think I 'll have to go to the States and find them myself :)
 
There you go! 😁

Thank you for you answer, the timeline of this thread is amaz!ng :)
I just found the information and now it's all over the interwebs.
What I could not find out yet, is, where this piece of data originated from. If you could "tell me you source", that would be awesome!
 
Hi Jeroen! Fellow Dutchman here. I know it's more than a year later, but you seem to be the first on the web to have posted these lyrics (they've spread over the web since then), and I was wondering where you got them from. Any help would be much appreciated!
