Question for the Death Knights

We all know about the Death Knights, and we recognize what their defection from the Lich King's control might mean for all of Azeroth as we march toward Icecrown.

While trying to gather information on the Netherweb, I came across a little ditty by Nine Inch Nails. While they are not the Elite Tauren Chieftains, I can't stop listening to this song.

The Hand that Feeds brings up a valid question for those Death Knights who have not yet turned. I wonder if they think about these questions during that moment when they are on the cusp? I may have to track down Koltira Deathweaver and ask him.

The lyrics:

You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? [8X]


For the record, Trent Reznor is one of the few people I will gladly say looks as good in leather pants as I do.
