Sam Lee – 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

    I'm probably totally wrong but I take the "bone" parts to refer to witchcraft and so the beginning of the song is saying that a warrior's spirit is the only real defense against witchcraft, but the end shows that both our magic and our fighting spirit mean nothing before the power of a simple poisonous plant, so its a song about primitive man grasping for power and control in a world that can snuff out his life without a thought.
