Xanthochroid's submission to the 2013 Blizzard Talent contest.
We took incidental music from the Argent Tournament grounds in World of Warcraft, re-arranged it and wrote original lyrics that tell the story of Argent crusaders seeking retribution upon the evil Lich King Arthas.
Lyrics:
Howling winds, crackling flame
Trembling voices curse his name
'Neath a haze of falling ashes
I weep for those he's slain
My betrothed, my weathered home
Greater loss I've never known
I have seen the face of evil
It mocks the pain I have known
Songs we sang, tales we told
But pathos; memories of old
More than hate, more than vengeance
Guides us as we go
To possess the warrior's strength
To destroy this wrathful king
We have come to heal our wounds
And at last be free from this pain
Songs we sang, tales we told
But pathos; memories of old
More than hate, more than vengeance
Guides us as we go
