about

An Algonquian Tale of Terror!

lyrics

*An Algonquian tribe is seated around a fire where the children are playing and the adults are passing around a pipe filled with what Stone and Cosmo from two songs ago used to sell to local High School children. The Grandfather calls the children over to tell them a true story that happened to him some years back…*

Grandpa: "Late in the night when you’re writing your name in the snow, A voice that is calling you, calling you, calling your name!
The whispering breeze through the trees is ever so cold!
When The Wendigo cries, you will do as you’re told.
YOU WILL DO AS YOU’RE TOLD!”

*The children hang on his every word. Mostly from fear.*

Grandpa: "And so you walk on for miles, and miles, and miles,
To the voice that is calling you, calling you, calling your name!
Well you’ve gone too far now, you can’t go back!
And the voice that you hear draws near…
And then you see it, the beast of terrors unknown.
Tight stretched skin wraps around its pointed bones.
Well you try to turn away, but you can’t run and hide.
When The Wendigo cries, you’ll never come out alive.
NEVER COME OUT ALIVE!”

*Grandpa harkens back to his grizzly encounter with the aforementioned beast…

Him and his friend Hassun were walking through the woods to get back to their homes, when they both heard a far-off cry:

“HAAAAASSSSSUUUUNNNNN!!!”

Hassan started running towards the voice, Grandpa couldn’t keep up with him. He was running so fast. As Hassun got out Grandpa’s sight, Grandpa gave up trying to run after him, and stopped to catch his breath.What he heard next could only be described as a cacophonous caterwaul coming from Hassun! He started running in the opposite direction when he heard another shriek. This one being unlike any human scream imaginable. It rand through the woods as Grandpa back to his home for safety.

Grandpa chants a melody to ward off future Wendigo encounters. His grandchildren don’t sleep very well that evening…*
