[Verse 1] When the snow eats the road And the stores run thin You count your last fire You count your kin A mouth in the dark A thought you don't say A hand in the hunger Can lead you astray [Pre-Chorus] One bite Turns the soul One lie Starts to grow The shame In your bones Doesn't leave When you're alone [Chorus] The rise of the Wendigo Cold eyes on your door The rise of the Wendigo It always wants more The rise of the Wendigo Hear that hollow call The rise of the Wendigo When greed takes all [Verse 2] Now the ribs show through Like sticks in frost Ash on the tongue And a human lost You move through the pines With a frozen heart Long claws for the feast And a blackened start [Pre-Chorus] One bite Turns the soul One lie Starts to grow The shame In your bones Doesn't leave When you're alone [Chorus] The rise of the Wendigo Cold eyes on your door The rise of the Wendigo It always wants more The rise of the Wendigo Hear that hollow call The rise of the Wendigo When greed takes all [Bridge] Don't take what breaks the circle Don't leave the table bare One loaf shared in winter Can keep the mercy there But if you feed the hunger If you cut the last thread You wake that old starvation And you wake it dead [Final Chorus] The rise of the Wendigo Cold eyes on your door The rise of the Wendigo It always wants more The rise of the Wendigo Hear that hollow call The rise of the Wendigo When greed takes all
