Some of us like 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 who's marching through the night and the day
I swore an oath and with my life I will 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 a sudden, a ranger arrived, a saviour 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
