Since we’re arguably in the midst of an apocalypse, wouldn’t that make all music that’s made presently “apocalypse music”? Either way, it’s a great tune to watch the world burn to. 😊 🌎 🔥

The CC is not working so here's the lyrics. There will come a soldier Who carries a mighty sword He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He 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 Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord 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 Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai... oh

I only found out today, after hearing this song several times, that not only is this a song about Christ's Second Coming, but that it comes from an album written with heavy influence by the works of C.S. Lewis. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I just wanna say, listening to all these tracks you've made has caused me to buy an Irish Bouzouki. I don't know how to play stringed instruments, but I'm gonna learn this one, damn it

[@shepherddog1199]

JUST about Jesus, not David. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, as well as what Kings were meant to be. He is the fulfillment because He is God. He is warrior, poet, priest, king, and conquerer.

I discovered this song recently, and now I love listening to it, and so I looked for a cover and I found this amazing! Simply fantastic, the two of them singing to the sounds of the instruments

[@rustkarl]

I hope this isn’t the only one from the Oh Hellos, even just the album this one comes from has some magnificent pieces. i’m rather fond of Thus Always to Tyrants, Pale White Horse, Where is Your Rider and of course Soldier, Poet, King.

[@fivebrosstopmos]

Fun fact, the Soldier, Poet, King in this song is Jesus, hence the reference to the crown of thorns and David in the last verse. Also, when it says he will slay you with his tounge, it means it quite literally, look up the battle of Armageddon.

[@MaraW1832]

Am I the only one mildly uncomfortable that an overtly Christian song from an overtly Christian album got picked up by a bunch of otherwise secular zoomers who throw it around like it's just generic fantasy music? I felt the same way about Lord of the Dance back in the day.

[@fivebrosstopmos]

@@MaraW1832 It is a little weird, but they haven't changed it, so no harm, no foul, IMO.

[@meganlodon]

​@@MaraW1832 To be honest, it does have that fantasy vibe. Even I, knowing the true meaning of the song and loving the song more because of it, picture an Elf princess dancing in a field of daisies with ruins in the background.

[@TheHopefulRebel]

Such a great cover! The Oh Hellos are such a tricky band to cover given their instrumentation is practically a folk orchestra and I've never found a cover that sounds as comfortable in the rhythm of the song as yours (most people try to force it into 3/4 or 4/4 but I'd say it's in 6/8 (or 12/8) which is perfect for a jig). In both cases, your talents are extremely well-suited to it. Stunning musicianship, the both of you!
