[Spoken Word Intro - Hushed and Urgent]
The fiddle pulled me northward through the autumn rain
To Michigan's deep forests where the old gods still remain

[Eerie Fiddle and Wind Intro]

[Verse 1 - Waltz Tempo]
The temperature was droppin' and the pines were closin' in
When I heard that awful howlin' like a starvin' wind
Through the trees I saw it movin', tall as any oak
With antlers like dead branches and eyes like frozen smoke

[Pre-Chorus - Building Dread]
It spoke in whistlin' winter winds: "You'll play until the dawn
One missed note, one fumbled bow, and your flesh I'll feast upon"

[Chorus - Intense Waltz]
Dance the Wendigo Waltz through the frozen night
Keep that fiddle singin' till the morning light
My fingers bleedin' crimson on the silver strings
While the hungry forest demon dances, prowls, and sings

[Frantic Fiddle Solo - Waltz Building to Chaos]

[Verse 2]
Hour by hour, my hands grew numb, the frost was creepin' in
That creature's dance grew wilder with a carnivore's grin
The fiddle fought against the cold, strings screamin' through the dark
While shadows of the eaten dead left their awful mark

[Pre-Chorus - Desperate]
The moon was sinkin' lower, my strength was runnin' thin
But that cursed fiddle wouldn't let the monster win

[Chorus]
Dance the Wendigo Waltz through the frozen night
Keep that fiddle singin' till the morning light
My fingers bleedin' crimson on the silver strings
While the hungry forest demon dances, prowls, and sings

[Bridge - Spoken with Musical Backing]
They say the wendigo was human once, before the hunger came
Now it feeds on human flesh and drives good folks insane
But music holds a power that even monsters fear
And I played like hell itself until the dawn drew near

[Final Fiddle Solo - Triumphant Dawn]

[Outro - Exhausted but Alive]
When the first light touched the pine tops, that thing let out a wail
Vanished like the morning mist, leavin' just a sulfur trail
I collapsed there in the needles, fiddle still in hand
Knowin' darker things were waitin' in this haunted land

[Fading Waltz and Wind]
