Nightshade (from For The Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones))

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
