ARTHAS by Ben Brode (lyrics, work in progress)
Well met!
My name is Ben Brode, I got a story to tell.
Are you ready? Then come on and listen well!
Many years ago there lived a Paladin,
he was Prince of the Alliance when the story begins.
This ain't a happy story, it's a little dark;
this ain't no summer day, this ain't no walk in the park!
You see this prince's name was Arthas, A.K.A. the Lich King.
This is the story of how he became him.
It all started with the mysterious plague.
Only vague reports was all the Alliance scouts gave.
The king sent Arthas to go check out the rumour,
and he met up with his college buddy Jaina Proudmoor-a.
Arthas and Jaina, yo they were on the case,
the found some crates filled with grain that were poisoned laced.
Suspicious, they looked about as something moved in the forest,
shadows emerged and Arthas yelled "They're coming right for us!"
That's when the Scourge attacked,
their defenses just cracked,
and Arthas just snapped.
He jumped in to act,
but quickly got trapped,
ghouls at his front and ghouls at his back!
Arthas looked up and through the battle,
saw a Necromancer's shadow.
It was Kel'Thuzad, Arthas gave him a nod,
and then he swept the ghouls away, clawed his way to KT,
and punched that necromancer straight square in the teeth.
KT said "Seek Mal'Ganis where he makes his home,
he controls the Scourge from the city of Stratholme!"
Those were the last words that Kel'Thuzad said,
Arthas killed the necromancer with a blow to the head.
The said,"Jaina, I demand that you call the Silver Hand
and Uther will command them, we will purge the damned then."
And Jaina said, "Yo, yo, yo, ok, I'll go,
I will go find Uther and tell him what I know, yo."
And she teleported away, there wasn't much else to say.
They had to stop the plague, the undead were coming this way.
(Chorus, x2)
Arthas, where did this go wrong?
Why did you turn to darkness?
Right then he arrived at Hearthglen,
Looked down, saw plagued grain on the ground again.
Arthas took a deep breath then turned around,
he was surrounded by the entire town!
"Wait a second," said Arthas, filling with dread,
"This plague just doesn't kill it tuns you into UNDEAD!"
The Prince's stomach began to churn,
At that second townsfolk began to turn!
Twelve hours later, Arthas barely alive,
His royal bodyguards, well, they didn't survive.

There are subtitles on the video if you need help!
Also I made a lyrics-only edition in case people wanted to have some fun at my expense. :)

Thanks!
Yeah, I did it at home. About 20 hours to write and 40 hours to record/edit.
