WoW - Lament of the Highborne

Self captured version of the highborne song, After my friend turned in the quest.
Hope its a good one!
(Burning Blade Realm)

The Lament of the Highborne is a Thalassian song. The lament was composed by Derek Duke and Russell Brower and sung by artist Vangie Gunn. It appears on the Burning Crusade soundtrack. It is also the name of an in-game book which contains the lyrics of the song of the same name. The book serves no game play purpose, other than to offer the player a chance to reread the lyrics as many times as he/she wishes. The composers have revealed that "the quest design team enhanced a new quest line to incorporate the song as a payoff moment".

The lament can be heard in-game from Lady Sylvanas Windrunner and her Highborne Lamenters (pleasant-voiced banshees) after finding her locket (The Lady's Necklace, a gift from her sister Alleria) at Windrunner Spire in the Ghostlands and returning it to the Dark Lady. The Lament of the Highborne song and event were originally absent from the beta phase of The Burning Crusade - however, before release, the event was added to the quest, along with the lyrics to the song. The haunting melody can also be heard as the Burning Crusade credits music, and variations on the lament play in Eversong Woods and certain areas of Ghostlands.

Original Thalassian lyrics:

Anar'alah, Anar'alah belore
Sin'dorei
Shindu fallah na
Sin'dorei
Anar'alah
Shindu Sin'dorei
Shindu fallah na
Sin'dorei
Anar'alah belore
Shindu Sin'dorei
Shindu fallah na
Sin'dorei
Anar'alah belore
Belore

Loose English translation:

By the light, by the light of the sun
Children of the blood
Our enemies are breaking through
Children of the blood
By the light
Failing children of the blood
They are breaking through
O' children of the blood
By the light of the sun
Failing children of the blood
They are breaking through
O' children of the blood
By the light of the sun
The sun

[smileyowner]

@TheHiddenMoonVillage Maybe, this was in or near the shadow glade part, the underground part of orgrimmar. I never been there ever since cataclysm. (not for long anyway)

[WoWareios]

anyone else notice its not frostmourne that kills sylvanas?

[karyuudo]

@TheHiddenMoonVillage The music will play in Org when someone with Sylvanas' Music Box is around, you get that vanity item if you kill the lich king with a Shadowmourne in your group. it summons sylvanas' Lamenters and plays this really really epic song.
