Power of the Horde lyrics

Storm, Earth and Fire, heed my call!

I am the son of the wind and rain,
Thunder beckons and I heed the call.
If I die upon this day,
In battle I will fall.

Hear me brothers gather up the wolves,
To battle, we will ride.
War drums echo the beating heart,
Pounding from inside.

CHORUS:
STORM
Black clouds fill the sky.
EARTH
I hear my battle cry.
FIRE
Thunder we'll bring forth.
DEATH
From the power of the Horde...

Far Seer to the Warsong Clan,
To no man will I kneel.
Feel the power and the energy,
Born of black blood, honor, and steel.

I feel the fire burning in my veins,
Lightning strikes at my command.
By storm and earth, axe and fire,
We come to claim this land.

(CHORUS)

(Instrumental)

Yeeeeaaaahhhh!

Surrounded by the enemy,
The wolf among the hounds.
Thunder turns to silence it,
Took the hundred to bring me down.

Wolf brothers falling at my side,
With honour I will die.
Upon the Altar of the Storms,
I will be reborn.

(CHORUS)
For I have been reborn.

STORM
EARTH
FIRE
DEATH
The power of the Horde...


Power of the Horde was included in the expansion pack The Frozen Throne where it was used as the background music for the Credits section. It was sung by rock band "Tenth Level Tauren Chieftain", consisting of top Blizzard executives with SamWise as the lead singer. The name of the band changes however, reflecting the highest level the hero Tauren Chieftain can attain in the Warcraft Universe. Currently, it is "Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftian" following the release of the Wrath of the Lich King.
