Warlock Rites
Baptized in the blood of a lamb,
black wooled and horned, upon a dark altar:
Blood for the life of Gul’Dan!
Lich-Lords rise, bloodless and wan,
to call forth the demon thrall
baptized in the blood of a lamb.
Dark gods seek the blood of man
sing from crooked toothed maw:
“Blood for the soul of Gul’Dan!”
With blood rite and sacrifice we damn
the hosts of piteous man to crawl;
drowned in the blood of a lamb.
At last he comes sword in hand
to doom the world to fall
and draw blood for the soul of Gul’Dan!
The spider lords wait to take this land
Ancient kingdoms rise to heed the call
Baptized in the blood of a lamb,
“Blood for the rise of Gul’Dan!”
