Mishipeshu Lyrics

Moving silent in the deep
Lynx of great water
A wrathful force of devastation
The bane of theives

On Michipicoten
Dwells Superior's son
Keen watch of the guardian, sleepless
Opposing the thunderbird
From the realm of depths
Of those who traverse the expanse
From the light be swept

Brazen copper horns
Crown of the tyrant
Reigning

Mishipeshu
Bringer of storms

Unseen keeper of lost
Construct of the earth
Master of under-life, the summoner
Winter's frozen surface
He stalks below
In the frigid darkness he bellows
The icy grip of the undertow

Brazen copper horns
Crown of the tyrant
Preying

Hear the screeching hiss
In the churning swell
Extinguish the flames
That burn within unwary souls
He who strikes fear
Within all beating hearts
The lips of cautioners bear his name

Dark one
Predator

Eyes of the night cat

Mishipeshu, hidden in breakers
Veiled by storms, dread of fathoms
Angel of torment, wrath of nature
Spirit of water, spirit of vengeance
Fury incarnate, victims unnumbered
Taker of children, scourge of the upper peninsula

On Michipicoten
Dwells Superior's son
Beneath the frostbitten shoals, cavernous
Ageless he moves in shadows
Beyond memory
Bespoke the twilight era
As the voices fell silent
