"The Culling" | Lyrics 𝄞
Verse 1:
The plague spreads through the city, a fate worse than death
I see the future before me, with every breath
I must protect my people, even if some must fall
The Culling of Stratholme, the most bitter of all
Chorus:
It's the Culling, can't you see?
It's the only way to keep the Scourge from going free
If we don't act now, all of Lordaeron will fall
It's the Culling, the most tragic of all
Verse 2:
Mal'Ganis taunts me, his words echo in my mind
I will hunt him down, leave no trace behind
But first, I must do what needs to be done
The Culling of Stratholme, a battle hard-won
(Chorus)
Bridge:
The innocents lost, a price too high to pay
But if we do nothing, the Scourge will have its way
It's a choice I make, with a heavy heart
The Culling of Stratholme, tearing me apart
Verse 3:
My soul grows weary, the weight of my crown
As I walk through the streets, burning the city down
I will bear this burden, for the sake of my land
The Culling of Stratholme, blood on my hands
(Chorus)
Outro:
It's the Culling, a choice I made
To save my people, a sacrifice I gave
Forever haunted by the screams and the cries
The Culling of Stratholme, where a part of me dies
The Warcraft lore behind "The Culling of Stratholme"
During the early stages of the Third War, the city of Stratholme fell victim to the Plague, which was likely spread through contaminated grain shipments from Andorhal. Unaware of the impending danger, the citizens consumed the tainted grain, falling ill as the dreadlord Mal'Ganis quietly orchestrated the unfolding chaos.
As the situation deteriorated, the people of Stratholme grew increasingly agitated, seeking answers from food vendors, grain suppliers, and Magistrate Barthilas. Prince Arthas Menethil and his forces arrived at the city gates, inspecting the grain shipments only to realize they were too late - the plague had already taken hold.
Upon learning the grim truth, Arthas made the difficult decision to purge the entire city, ordering the deaths of all its inhabitants to prevent the spread of the Plague. Uther, Arthas' mentor, was appalled by the command and refused to comply, leading to his dismissal from the Silver Hand. Jaina Proudmoore, equally shocked, departed shortly after.
As Arthas carried out the purge, Mal'Ganis emerged, taunting the prince as he "collected" the zombified citizens for the Scourge. The two forces clashed in a grisly race for the lives of the townsfolk, leaving a trail of destruction and death in their wake. Citizens were slaughtered in their sleep, after succumbing to the Plague, or while attempting to flee. Eris Havenfire, a priestess, tried to lead the sick to safety in Hearthglen but was cut down by the Scourge. Some took their own lives, preferring death to undeath.
In the end, with the city in ruins and its people decimated, Arthas confronted Mal'Ganis directly, demanding a final battle. The dreadlord, however, urged Arthas to gather his forces and pursue him to Northrend before vanishing, leaving the prince consumed by a thirst for vengeance.
