There will come a soldier / who carries a mighty sword / she will tear your city down oh lei, oh lai, oh lord
There will come a poet / whose weapon is his word / he will slay you with his tongue, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord
There will come a ruler / whose brow is laid in thorn / smeared with oil like david's boy, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord
— Eleanor Shellstrop, Chidi Anagonye, and Tahani Al-Jamil as “Soldier, Poet, King” by The Oh Hellos

I'm that "first-person" they talk about in all the books / I'm that perspective you cannot doubt, see how I look

one says, "c'mon" and the other says, "i'm tired"

:D For the people who know of the fanfic series The Devils (Kicking Up the Dust + Blood Under The Snow, both by Amras on AO3) I offer you my playlist based off of it!
Some of it are songs directly picked from what Amras listened to while writing the story, some are my own picks. Most of it are sad gloomy songs perfect for the snowy village setting of Blood Under the Snow. There are some more fast paced and lyrics-heavy songs amongst it

„Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow…”
„I miss your touch on nights
when I'm hollow…”
„I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow…”
„Since the love that you left is all that I get…I want you to know…”
„That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you…”
„I miss you more than life…”
„I'd leave it all behind if I could follow…”
„I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life…”
