Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tichondrius:
The Cult is nearly assembled.

Arthas:
Lordaeron lies in ashes. What good are these cultists to us now?

Tichondrius:
They will aid you in your next undertaking.

Arthas:
And what's that?

Tichondrius:
You will go to Andorhal and recover the remains of the acolytes' former master, the necromancer, Kel'Thuzad.

Rifleman:
Locked and loaded!
For Iron Forge!

For Iron Forge!

For Iron Forge!

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are a conversation between Tichondrius and Arthas, taken from SkyMarshall Arts's song "Warcraft". The lyrics depict the two discussing the Cult and their next move after Lordaeron has been destroyed. Tichondrius informs Arthas that the Cult will be useful in their next undertaking, to recover the remains of Kel'Thuzad, the necromancer. The song then transitions to a group of riflemen shouting "For Iron Forge!" as they head into battle.

The lyrics themselves are referencing the storyline of the video game "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos". Tichondrius and Arthas are central characters in the game's plot, with the former serving as a leader for the Twisted Nether and the latter as a paladin and eventually a Death Knight.

The lyrics also showcase the game's focus on strategic war and battle tactics. The use of the riflemen chanting "For Iron Forge" adds to the intensity and excitement of the song.
