general's dissection
the one time a famed general wishes to lose, only to emerge victorious warning: disturbing themes, implied suicidal ideation, angst. unrequited lilinor, implied levan x meleanor wc 343, further details on the tags inspired by this song!
i. hunted by many, a single prey escapes
come forth, engage in this game of ‘General’s Dissection’
humans and fae alike may partake
hunting down the general’s head
for he had fallen victim to deceit
castle ground rejects both ashes and bone
as the air grew colder and colder
away from the night’s blessing, I stood
in a path to nowhere
every road I took strayed me further
unwelcomed even by the gates of death
carrying the seed of your love, I wept
on journeys of no return, I yearn
ii. haunted by the shadow of your love
in the long nights, I dreamt of you
falling in love with someone else
saliva intertwining with what’s not mine
please wake me, please return to my embrace
set me free from this anguish
say, don’t you want to dissect
a general’s heart?
come, join and play this game
you always love carrying out mischief
with that smug grin adoring your silly face
a beating heart would make a fun trinket,
don’t you think?
come back to me and i’ll make you win
exchanging victory with every last piece
of love you’ve left behind
something i could never comprehend,
a grave misconception on your part
as I am a weapon for you to wield, not a warden!
iii. hope, a form of nonexistent luxury
ah
for once i wished to lose
a being incapable of affection
because if not, why else
would you escape from my grasp?
how i wished soul could be used as a currency
all i need is an hour, a splitting second
spare me a fragment of your existence
change the trajectory of one's life,
just like how you did way back
surely this kingdom would be better off without that lowly bat fae,
would it not?
bask the land anew with your magnificence
envelop the dusk with your finesse once more
certainly, people of the night shall rejoice
concerns and doubt looms no longer
as happiness blooms beyond briars and thorns
please come back to me, My Lady.
