I was drinking ale at a tavern in a town called Menethil

Where we still remember the day the captain came over the hill

He said: "We got big time trouble up north of here in Lordaeron

I need 100 able bodies, so grab your boots and strap your weapons on"

I said: "Hey Cap, it's great to see you. I fought with you at Tarren Mill"

He had a look of death in his eyes, that look remains with me still

I said: "Cap'n, what's going on up north, what're we getting ourselves into"

He said: "Cranius, I'm glad to see you, I've got something I may need you to do"

'Cause there are corpses standing up and walking around

Piles of bones like marionettes are chasing us down

Something evil's gotten into the grain

Everyone who's eaten it is going insane

So put your faith in the Light and let your horses fly

Let's get along boys, our people need you tonight

'Cause today a plague came to Brill

As we approached that fateful town, there was a smell of flesh in the air

Etched upon my captain's face were lines of pain and despair

He said: "Don't look into their hollow eyes, they're not the people that you knew them to be

So take a minute, say your prayers to the Light and say one more for my family"

Then it occurred to me, that after the Second Great War

My captain moved his family to a little town way up north

50 acres with a view on a hill, plenty of room for settling down

Now it all became so clear to me, he needed me more than ever now

'Cause there were corpses standing up and walking around

Piles of bones like marionettes were chasing us down

Something evil'd gotten into the grain

And everyone who'd eaten it had gone insane

So put your faith in the Light and let your weapons fly

Let's get along boys, these people need us tonight

'Cause today a plague came to Brill

As the blades and fire flew and the ice came shattering down

I knew just what I had to do, there'd be no life in this undead town

A filthy job, but it had to be done, my captain's family would rest in peace

He turned his head and he dropped to his knees

As I finished his dirty deeeeeeeeed

Dirty deeeeeeeeed

It didn't go as anyone planned, we escaped by the skin of our teeth

I turned my faithful stallion south, some headed off to the east

No matter how many long years it's been, this fire burns inside of me still

So don't forget — don't you ever forget — the day the plague came to Brill
