Lyrics:
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 o
a very self indulgent project but who cares? hope the quality is fixed in this one!

Btw for those who wondering "O lei O Lai O lord" translates to "It was gone without the Lord"
-
God I want to dance in a circle while strumming my guitar on a dirt road with a crowd of people clapping and laughing around me right now
-
This song always inputs the same vision in my head: The singer singing a top a table in the tavern, the attendees bashing on the tables to create the rhythm, as an engimatic hero enjoys the melody from a distance at the barstool and a cup of mead in hand
-
Every time i hear this song i think about Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, the Fellowship, Bilbo... It makes me feel like I'm living in middle earth, running through the fields of the Shire and sleeping under the starry sky in Rivendell...
-
This song makes me feel like I’m in the Disney movie Brave-
-
this makes me feel nostalgic to something that never even happened
-
This song really makes me feel the fact I lost half of my life to mental health problems and addiction. It sounds so carefree and warm, like how I'd wish my youth/teenage years would've been.

This song feels strangely familiar and is giving me a weird feeligng of nostalgia.. but the first time I’d heard it was a few days ago
-
When I first heard this song I didn't realize it was about Jesus. But now I actually saw the lyrics. Wow. It's beautiful.
-
I love the way the tension builds up in this song. It feels like riding a horse and going faster with each chorus
-
Just so y’all know, that nostalgic feeling is called anemoia. The feeling of nostalgia for a time or place that you have never experienced/ doesn’t exist.
-
I feel like a teenager in a small village with tons of nature surrounding the towns square where a peasant sings songs for the children
-
A place where people stand, with their hands clapping. In the middle stood couples, dancing while singing this song, the crowds roared along. Joining soon after was you, with your beauty capturing everyone. They sang until the night finished and the fire finally burned out the wood. Fireflies soon started to emerge into the big place, shining the almost dimly place. This. Is your fantasy. ❤

This song let’s me escape reality for a few minutes It makes me feel like i’m in a small village, next to the castle, just being a normal girl, no internet, just elfes and dwarves. And singing this by the campfire with all the other people in the village
-
What your feeling right now is called Anemioa- The feeling of nostalgia for an event, place, or time that you’ve never experienced or known

This song makes me feel nostalgic, and it also makes me want to live a life I never had in a way..

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
