What if music for Warcraft 2 Human theme had been written in eastern folk psychedelic?

Not sure if I need to go on and on about the greatness of the Warcraft or the incredible work done by Glenn Stafford and the whole Blizzard team."
When I began working on this cover, I found myself pondering what style would truly fit. The game’s soundtrack is so iconic that it has been interpreted in countless ways.
Then I realized how much you all appreciated my '60s-style covers, particularly after the one for Heroes of Might and Magic. That inspired me to consider a fresh approach: Eastern folk psychedelic. And I kept wondering—what would the song be about? I wanted to imagine what the hippies of Lordaeron would be complaining about. 😆
I've always had a passion for this genre—the mesmerizing rhythms, the enchanting melodies, and the vibrant energy. It felt like the ideal opportunity to explore that sound and infuse it into the Warcraft universe.
And naturally, AI technology played a crucial role once more, allowing me to train voice for hours to achieve that authentic vintage vocal quality.

Lyrics:

They paved the fields, taxed the air,
Sold me a sword: “For Azeroth!”
King stays rich, war goes on,
And I'm broke - in Lordaeron.

Orcs promised freedom, yet I pay,
Farming just to fill their day.
They claim our prayers quell the flame,
Yet Burning Legion just the same.

What survives turns into stone;
A banner hides a secret throne.
They march, they fight, they break, they call—
I wish Sargeras, take them all.

They draft the maps, with blizzard ink,
Sell ​​our graves before we sink.
One flag falls; another's raised—
They dub it “grace” in a daze.

What survives turns into stone;
A banner hides a secret throne.
They march, they fight, they break, they call—
I wish Sargeras, take them all.

The gold is spent, my woods lie low,
For someone pulled my strings, you know.
Hero, orc, or common man,
We live as pawns in someone's plan.

War is done; the land lies bare.
No one's left—and none shall care.
They march, they fight, they break, they call—
I wish Sargeras, take them all.
