The Devil & The Huntsman Lyrics

Young man came from hunting faint, tired and weary
What does ail my Lord, my dearie?
Oh, brother dear, let my bed be made
For I feel the gripe of the woody nightshade

Men need a man would die as soon
Out of the light of a mage's moon
But it's not by bone, but yet by blade
Can break the magic that the devil made

And it's not my fire, but was forged in flame
Can drown the sorrows of a huntsman's pain

This young man he died fair soon
By the light of a hunter'e moon
'Twas not by bone, nor yet by blade
Of the berries of the woody nightshade

Oh Father dear lie and be safe
From the path that the devil made

What is the Meaning of The Devil & The Huntsman?

This haunting melody delves into themes of mortality, supernatural forces, and the struggle between good and evil. The lyrics tell the tragic tale of a young hunter who falls victim to a curse, presumably cast by "the devil". Despite attempts to break this curse through various means - suggested by references to "bone", "blade" and fire "forged in flame" - the young man succumbs to his fate. The song thus underscores the inevitability of death and the relentless power of dark forces. Yet, it also touches upon human resilience in face of such adversity, as seen in the efforts to save the young man's life. Ultimately, it is a poignant exploration of life's fragility against otherworldly influences. #Mortality #Supernatural #GoodVsEvil
