Nightshade (from For The Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones)) - The Lumineers
Lyrics by:Wesley Schultz/Jeremiah Fraites
Composed by:Wesley Schultz/Jeremiah Fraites
Some of us like to think of life as a game
Others are born into royalty and can never behave
Some find a 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 out 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
