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
