love you going crazy with poetry in tags... <3 "and quiet evenings you told me what you thought about..." what is this from ?
THANK YOU it’s actually a radical face song called servants and kings which is maybe the most silverflint song i can name off the top of my head. it is... exceptionally painful. the rest of the lyrics:
Through rolling hills and many miles of bloodWe slept in the rainfall and marched through the mudAnd you were not like anyone I'd knownYou spoke with impunity, had nothing to atoneAnd quiet evenings you told me what you thought aboutServants and kings and how everyone is boughtAnd how no one's hands are bloodier than God'sAnd I won't be judged for doing as I oughtIt's hard to say just when I fell in loveThere was no epiphany, no light from aboveBut you'd become my candle in the darkAnd all through that Hell you were the shield across my heartWhen all was fire, and the weather's out for bloodAnd the boys, still too young to drink, were drownin' in the floodI'd hear you laughing as I'd come on out for airAnd I'd laugh with you, pretending that we careNow twenty years have passed since the last time I saw youWhen I kissed you on the mouth you walked awayI knew that it'd be too much, I knew that it would scare youBut I couldn't find the proper words for what I had to sayBut I don't regret a thing.
