Frostmourne

Lines of footmen in a row.

Long shadows cast upon the snow.

Can't retreat, nowhere to go,

We must all hold the line.

The Scourge, they keep up their attack,

Time and again we drive them back,

Fortitude, none of us lack,

We must buy Prince Arthas time.

Again, they hit our shield wall,

A line of iron, standing tall.

But here and there a soldier falls,

When will our prince return?

The undead, always closing in,

Over time our ranks are thinned,

Perhaps not a battle we can win,

But every step the dead must earn.

But then we hear a trumpet sound,

Some of us, we look around.

Prince Arthas strides over the ground,

A runeblade at his side.

Muradin, his knights, they're gone,

They shall be mourned in ballads, songs,

Arthas charges to the throng,

The undead, we defy.

But then he bids that we move out,

Undead forces we must rout.

No time to rest or lay about,

Mal'ganis must be slain.

I want to urge against attack,

In numbers and health our soldiers lack,

But we march, no turning back,

So from warnings I refrain.

Don't agree with my prince's reasoning,

Yet he is our future king.

But I hear his sword whispering,

"Death shall read your tale of doom."

I shake it off – a silly thought,

This attack won't be for naught.

Yet my soul, it remains fraught,

O'er my soul, a shadow looms.
