Nightshade

Lyrics

Some of us love to think of life as a game
 Others are born into royalty and can never behave
 Some find a freedom locking men in a cage, oh no
 ♪
 Some priest insisted it's a test of the faith
 And only holy devotion can keep the devils away
 There's only so much that a man can pray, oh no
 
 Oh, my love
 Oh, my love
 ♪
 Spare my blood
 Spare my blood
 ♪
 I saw the footprints in the white of the snow
 I counted thousands and I was just a rider alone
 18 degrees and 80 miles from home, oh no
 ♪
 We built a wall to keep the devils at bay
 A distant army was marching through the night and the day
 I swore an oath and with my life I would pay, oh no
 Oh, my love
 Oh, my love
 ♪
 Spare my blood
 Nightshade, won't you take me away?
 And I can hold my breath for another day
 But it was all, it was all for the throne
 ♪
 We were surrounded and the ending was near
 All of the sudden, a ranger arrived, a savior appeared
 Made it to safety, but the devil was here, oh no
 Oh, my love
 Nightshade, won't you take me away?
 And I can hold my breath for another day
 But it was all, it was all for the throne
