There will come a soldier
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord
He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord
There will come a poet
Whose weapon is his word
He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord
He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord
There will come a ruler
Whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord
Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord
He will tear your city down, o lei o lai

This song makes me want to wake up on a carriage with my hands bound to be taken to my own slaughter, when just as my head is about to be sliced clean off, a dragon swoops through the town, granting me access to escape and,easing me to a large village, in which I find out about my long legacy and heritage with dragons and eventually save the whole world from the very dragon that saved my very life from execution, while also being a cute lil country side lesbian lizard girl who has two adopted children, a cute wife, and a dog named meeko.

I don’t know what it is about this song. I’ve been sitting here and I’ve probably played it 20 times now, each time bawling. I’m just so happy I found this. I feel like, as stupid as it may sound, this song makes me feel like I have a sense of purpose, to tell stories or share my experiences. I hope that this song can do the same to some one else. 🌸

I don't want to be *that* Christian, but this is actually a Christian band and this song has a Christian message in it!
"There will come a ruler whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like a David's boy. . ."
If you know about the death of Christ, Jesus wears a crown of thorns *very* deeply and painfully shoved on his head. The oil part is obviously meant to be anointing oil.

About
Genius Annotation
“Soldier, Poet, King” is a song about the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is based on C. S. Lewis’s writings about the end of the world according to Revelation; this song and others on Dear Wormwood, are inspired by Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.
Another of Lewis' works, Mere Christianity, in Section 2, Chapter 2 discusses two reactions on the Second Coming. Those who professed their faith in Jesus would welcome that event with “irresistible love,” an overwhelming joyfulness that Christ has indeed come again. Such a joy is conveyed excellently in the jovial, almost giddy, tone of the song.
Conversely, those who did not set their loyalty towards Christ would meet that day with “irresistible horror,” understanding that the end of reality as they’ve known it has arrived and it is too late to “choose the right side”. Such horror is portrayed through the stark imagery in the lyrics in mentions of swords, weapons, slaying, etc.

Didn’t know this was religious, dunno how I feel about that, but it’s still a nice song with a nice medieval melody. I personally prefer my interpretation of it.

Dang this really ruins my interpretation of the song knowing that it’s religious. I really thought it was just about medieval times.
theamericanidiot 2 years ago
This song is wonderful! Didn’t even now it was religious, but it’s still wonderful. The religious meaning of it makes it even better, in my opinion. (:

“I diDN’t KnoW THiS waS ReliGioUS!?” Guys, the name of the album is Dear Wormwood like from the Screwtape Letters by C.S. “If you don’t get that the lion is Jesus I will cry” Lewis. I’m going to go out on a limb and say most, if not all, of the songs on the album have some hint of Christianity.

The melody kind of low-key reminds me of an old Scottish vibe and idk why but It reminds of dnd (dungeons and dragons)
Guys, does anyone know the answer?
