[Verse 1]
Some of us love 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

[Refrain]
Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Spare my blood
Spare my blood

[Verse 2]
I saw the footprints in the white of the snow
I counted thousands and I was just a rider alone
Eighteen degrees and eighty 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

[Refrain]
Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Spare my blood

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

​The Lumineers

The Lumineers is a band from New Jersey and formed in 2002. The original members consisted of Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites.

In 2009, the duo moved to Colorado to be able to concentrate on their music. After the addition of Neyla Pekarek on cello and vocals, the band released their first album—written by Schultz and Fraites—in 2012. Their first single, “Ho Hey,” quickly climbed to Number 1.

In 2016 they released their sophomore album, Cleopatra.
