“sorry / about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine.” – richard siken
for those who follow their liege to their death. for those who find love in the person they swear loyalty to, and for those who don’t. for those who don’t realize they both need each other to survive. for those who blur the lines between idolatry and love. (mostly relying on the knight/paladin aesthetic here)
i. king and lionheart – of monsters and men [and as the world comes to an end / i’ll be here to hold your hand / ‘cause you’re my king and I’m your lionheart.]
ii. heavy in your arms – florence+the machine [i was a heavy heart to carry / but he never let me down / when he held me in his arms / my feet never touched the ground]
iii. nadie nos recordará – amaral [desde entonces ya no creo en nada / que nos seas tú]
iv. hand of sorrow – within temptation [the child without a name grew up to be the hand / to watch you, to shield you or kill on demand]
v. tarnished silver – heather dale [sleep, my darkened chapel / let me kneel before you now, as then / unworthy as i am]
vi. i will follow you into the dark – death cab for cutie [if there’s no one beside you / when your soul embarks / then i’ll follow you into the dark]
vii. i follow my king – heather dale [in word and deed / i follow my king / the wisest among us and fair]
viii. like the dawn – the oh hellos [you were the brightest shade of sun when i saw you / and you will surely be the death of me / but how could I have known?]
ix. sing me to sleep – alan walker [i’ve become what you cannot embrace / our memory will be my lullaby]
