Soldier, Poet, King Lyrics
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord
He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord
There will come a poet
Whose weapon is his word
He will slay...

I think it has to do with culture in the middle ages.
A generic soldier, representing the combat skills and battles fought at the time.
A generic poet, representing the power of literature, and how it grew fast in that time period.
And a generic king, representing the religion of the time. The line "whose brow is laid in thorn", referring to the crown of thorns, and "David's boy", referring to Jesus. -
Sounds like a Religious type of references, possibly to Jesus and maybe some other prophets from the Bible.
