Nightshade

Some of us love to think of life as a game
I wasn't born into royalty and can never behave
Some final freedom like a man 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 of hours just to ride all along
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 could 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 could hold my breath for another day
But it was all, it was all, for the throne
