Grimly oppressive, no sun in the sky Blood soaking into the dirt Kingdom is conquered and governed by crows Lightbringers could not avert Ruling by magic and guided by hate One wicked wizard commands There see the glint of a terrible crown There see the sword in his hand There see the sword in his hand All hail the Lich King Give in to fear All hail the Lich King Master of might Ready to fight Order is given and scepter is raised Thundering into the world Apocalyptic, it's his end of days Black and red banner unfurled Facing the dregs of the kingdoms undone Rag-wearing legions of men Laughing, his sword is a whickering death Laughing and killing again Laughing and killing again All hail the Lich King Heed the unjust All hail the Lich King Master of dust Men fight for land Men fight for life Fall by his hand Fall to the blight Undead monarch Undead the throne He rules the dark He rules alone All hail the Lich King Give in to hate All hail the Lich King Accept your fate
