Nightshade

Some of us love to think of life as a gameOthers are born into royalty and can never behaveSome find a freedom locking men in a cage, oh noSome priest insisted it's a test of the faithAnd only holy devotion can keep the devils awayThere's only so much that a man can pray, oh noOh, my loveOh, my loveSpare my bloodSpare my bloodI saw the footprints in the white of the snowI counted thousands and I was just a rider aloneEighteen degrees and eighty miles from home, oh noWe built a wall to keep the devils at bayA distant army was marching through the night and the dayI swore an oath and with my life I would pay, oh noOh, my loveOh, my loveSpare my bloodNightshade, won't you take me away?And I can hold my breath for another dayBut it was all, it was all, for the throneWe were surrounded and the ending was nearAll of the sudden, a ranger arrived, a savior appearedMade it to safety but the devil was here, oh noOh, my loveNightshade, won't you take me away?And I can hold my breath for another dayBut it was all, it was all, for the throne
