He comes, he comes from the flatlands.
from the cold and the darkness
His pale plaster eyes could've stole
the moon from the sky's throat
Oh kitchi-manitou-wayo's ghost, have mercy on my soul
they told us that they'd hang you, one calf for a crow
but with ignorance they've showed
the innocence they stole
Now he wails, he wails from the mountains.
rattling the wind at its coldest
His frozen oaken tongue
will eat your soul
for the injustice he's owed
Oh kitchi-manitou-wayo's ghost, have mercy on my soul
they told us that they'd hang you, one calf for a crow
but with ignorance they've showed
the innocence they stole
he comes, he comes from the flatlands
and he hunts in the darkness
his pale plaster eyes will eat your soul
unless you offer up his ode
oh kitchi-manitou-wayo's ghost, have mercy on my soul
they told us that they'd hang you, one calf for a crow
but with ignorance they've showed
the innocence they stole
