-------------------------------------------------------- 'Arms of the Ocean' Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- Through the sound of raging waves Her voice is leading me astray I feel I need to be with her right away For she sounds so sweet I cannot leave her all alone Here in this deep and dark blue unknown
Come swim to me in a forward motion Lie with me in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Show me the way with your melody
Oh my dear unwary sailor Come to my shore, it's way safer Than the roaring sea, I need you here with me Oh my sweet unwary man Follow my voice and take my hand Let me take you to the promised land
Come swim to me in a forward motion Lie with me in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Show me the way with your melody
She's pulling me into the fathomless deep There's nothing I can do She’s pulling me into eternal sleep There we go
We’re sinking with graceful motion Lying forever in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Sing me your lullaby so I can go peacefully

--------------------------------------- ‘Moonflower’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- Beautiful moonflower Wandering under the night sky Your nightdress lit up A strange and enticing sight
Let's go for a sleepwalk Together under the night sky Through the orchard, into my garden I promise I won't bite
But if I do, does it matter? If you could lay in my garden forever? Oh, if you do, does it matter? If I could lay in your garden forever?
Mystical sleepwalker Will you destroy my dear heart? I feel part of it is already Buried in your courtyard
Let me lay down beside you Just like our childhood dream My wild heart bleeds for you I promise I won't show my teeth
But if I do, does it matter? If you could lay in my garden forever? Oh, if you do, does it matter? If I could lay in your garden forever?
I'll never recover From a reverie, you appear (oh, I'll be here) With the ardor of a lover You whisper in my ear
You are mine, you shall be mine You and I are one forever The sound of your dear beating heart Is like a siren's call I'll never...
But if I do, does it matter? If you could lay in my garden forever? Oh, if you do, does it matter? If I could lay in your garden forever? Lay in your garden forever?Blackbriar - A Dark Euphony (Official Full Album Stream)BlackbriarMusic2023-11-27 | A Dark Euphony official full album stream by Blackbriar. ➞ Order your copy via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

--------------------------------------- ‘We Make Mist’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- Echoey, magical, watery As if a whale is singing From the depths of the sea With a crackling melody A nightly blaze, sizzling Like the sound a snake would make
A song that's made When fire falls in love with ice When volcanic twilights Meet the Northern lights
We make obsidian I am glacial blue And you are vermilion We make mist We make tiny ice crystals When we kiss, we make mist
A song that's made When fire falls in love with ice The alpenglow On the white mountain peaks When a torrent of lava Meets frozen waterfall streams Frozen waterfall streams
As if thunder is roaring From the depths of the lake With a dark and warmer sound A sea of flames Whispering embers On a white landscape Burning hearts, frozen in time A paradoxical embrace
A song that's made When fire falls in love with ice The alpenglow On the white mountain peaks When the midnight sun Meets the polar night Dark and brightBlackbriar - Far Distant Land (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2023-10-01 | The official audio video for 'Far Distant Land' by Blackbriar, the second song featured on our album 'A Dark Euphony'. ➞ Order your copy via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

--------------------------------------- ‘Far Distant Land’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- Upon the hill, one last time I brought a gemstone to leave behind And through the stones, I went To that far distant land
Upon the hill, it still feels the same I'm sure I can hear you calling my name And through the stones, I went To that far distant land
You are now a ghost from the past Two hundred years went by so fast But I can feel you in my soul Like I know exactly where to go
You are now a ghost from the past Two hundred years went by so fast But I can feel you in my soul Like I know exactly where to go
Upon the hill, one last time I brought a gemstone to leave behind And through the stones, I went To that far distant land
A land I know so well In which I left a part of myself I am on my way I'm sure I can hear you calling my name
I travel to days of yore As I'm stepping through the stony door I can feel you in my soul Like I know exactly where to go
Our love is like the dragonfly in amber Preserved in time And I can feel you in my soul Like I know exactly where to go
Upon the hill where the stones are standing And a little blue forget-me-not Waiting for the stones to start chanting So they can take me back to you, my love
Back to you, back to you, back to you, my love
Upon the hill, one last time I brought a gemstone to leave behind And through the stones, I went To that far distant landBlackbriar - Bloody Footprints in the Snow (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2023-10-01 | The official audio video for 'Bloody Footprints in the Snow' by Blackbriar, the fourth song featured on our album 'A Dark Euphony'. ➞ Order your copy via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

--------------------------------------- ‘Bloody Footprints in the Snow' Lyrics --------------------------------------- Bloody footprints in the snow Left behind a few moments ago By a creature with a heart of ice No bite will ever suffice
A hunger that will never be sated Once human, now alienated A spirit of lonely places The Wendigo is how we named it
Can you hear its stomach grumble, voraciously? Can you hear its howl, so painfully?
Bloody footprints in the snow Left behind by the spirit of a Wendigo A creature with a heart of ice And a gluttonous appetite
Can you hear its stomach grumble? Can you hear its howl? A giant, tall as a tree Doomed to wander alone and hungry
Can you hear its stomach grumble, voraciously? Can you hear its howl, so painfully? It wants to devour you with greed But the more it eats the more it needs
Bloody footprints in the snow Bloody footprints in the snow
You'll never be enough, no one ever will It will consume you entirely only to proceed with its search To fulfill its everlasting voracity and urge
Can you hear its stomach grumble, voraciously? Can you hear its howl, so painfully? It wants to devour you with greed But the more it eats the more it needsBlackbriar - The Evergreen and Weeping Tree (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2023-10-01 | The official audio video for 'The Evergreen and Weeping Tree' by Blackbriar, the fifth song featured on our album 'A Dark Euphony'. ➞ Order your copy via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

--------------------------------------- 'The Evergreen and Weeping Tree’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- Shielded by a curtain of evergreen Dwelling under the cypress tree I've been waiting here since August Now snow lies upon the branch Falling on me like a tiny avalanche It reminds me of how I fell for you Although the fall left me black and blue
Oh, I'm still waiting for you Oh, under the tree as lovers do Oh, I'm slowly being hidden by litterfall Oh, I'm slowly vanishing once and for all
I'm stuck in the ground, I've lingered for too long And grew my own roots, I cannot move on I have become a weeping tree on a gloomy day Not green, nor yellow, but withering grey
Oh, I'm still waiting for you Oh, under the tree as lovers do Oh, I'm all covered up by litterfall And grown into a withering tree once and for all
But then there was the evergreen Who as I sang my elegy Only heard a beautiful melody Oh, then there was the evergreen Who's always been there for me And fell in love with my entity Our roots intertwined And my leafless exterior Came back to lifeBlackbriar - Thumbelina (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2023-10-01 | The official audio video for 'Thumbelina' by Blackbriar, the ninth song featured on our album 'A Dark Euphony'. ➞ Order your copy via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

In my dreams, I'll be Thumbelina Drifting away down the stream Sailing on a fallen leaf I will be the flower queen It's a wondrous dream But tomorrow...
I'll be taken away high up in the tree How frightened I will be When tomorrow I'll be high up in the tree Oh, will I ever be free?
Tomorrow I'll be Thumbelina And I'll be taken away to the treetops By a giant beetle But will I be dropped Upon a daisy and be free? Like Thumbelina was? Like Thumbelina was?
I'll be taken away high up in the tree How frightened I will be When tomorrow I'll be high up in the tree Will I be dropped upon a daisy? Like Thumbelina was? Like Thumbelina was? Like Thumbelina was?

--------------------------------------- ‘An Unwelcome Guest’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- Oh, terrifying visitor You're giving me the ongoing sensation Of being a sleep paralysis prisoner With gruesome hallucinations But it's the middle of the day And I am wide awake Oh, petrifying visitor Your weight is starting to ache
Oh, there's a goblin sitting on my chest An unwelcome guest that never left Oh, there's a goblin sitting on my chest Taking away my breath
Oh, mischievous creature Staring me in the eyes Do you enjoy my struggle? The fear I feel inside? To others, you remain unseen While I'm stuck in the in-between An endless state of hypnagogia A dream where I cannot scream
Oh, there's a goblin sitting on my chest An unwelcome guest that never left Oh, there's a goblin sitting on my chest Taking away, taking away my breath
All the things that I would do And all the places I would go Without this burden weighing on my torso All the things that I would do And all the places I would go Without this burden weighing on my torso

--------------------------------------- ‘Spirit of Forgetfulness’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- The thought of you possesses me You're the dweller of my mind Where you are utterly and vividly alive
I called upon Lethe The spirit of forgetfulness I implored her deeply To erase my memory She said "Be careful what you wish for, deary"
"Those waters aren't meant for the living For all you know, I could be a trickster Merciless and unforgiving I might not be your well-wisher"
Lethe decided to help me The spirit of oblivion She took me to the underworld Among the souls of the dead Where I drank from the river To help me forget
"Those waters aren't meant for the living For all you know, I could be a trickster Merciless and unforgiving I might not be your well-wisher"
And I forgot it all Yet I still remember you I've got no remembrance of who I am Oh, I forgot it all Yet I still remember you I've got no remembrance of who I am Yet I still know you through and through
Those waters aren't meant for the living I made a desperate deal with a trickster Merciless and unforgiving A misleading voice, with a truthful whisper Those waters aren't meant for the living I made a desperate deal with a trickster Merciless and unforgiving A misleading voice, with a truthful whisper Misleading voice, with a truthful whisperA Dark Euphony Chorus TeaserBlackbriarMusic2023-09-23 | Our new album 'A Dark Euphony' will be out on September 29! ➞ Pre-orders are now live via Nuclear Blast Records: https://blackbriar.bfan.link/a-dark-euphony

--------------------------------------- ‘Forever and a Day’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- You wanted forever and a day But a day is all I could give away You touched my heart, it is true But it doesn't belong to you Oh, it doesn't belong to you
My handsome poet, with golden eyes Today I am yours, and today you are mine But please do not ask when you'll see me again For my heart belongs to another man Oh, my heart belongs to another man
Such piercing eyes, as if you're mesmerized Like I was some kind of myth Someone you would die to be with Such piercing eyes, mesmerized Like I was some kind of siren
You made me smile, feel admired and free Together with you on this deserted beach This is how I will remember us And I hope you will forget me not Oh, I hope you will forget me not
Such piercing eyes, as if you're mesmerized Like I was some kind of myth Someone you would die to be with Such piercing eyes, mesmerized Like I was some kind of siren And you would swim the wildest waters to get on my island

Your death will be My soul's demise I'll carry your sins But who will carry mine? Who? Who will carry mine? Who will carry mine?
Over your lifeless chest I will drink some beer To consume your malice As a souvenir
Your death will be My soul's demise I'd do anything I love you more than life I'll carry your sins But who will carry mine? Who? Who will carry mine? Who will carry mine? Who? Who will carry mine? Who will carry mine?
No one can even look me in the eye No one can even look me in the eye Everybody is flinching away from me As I pass by
Your death will be My soul's demise I'll carry your sins But who will carry mine? Who? Who will carry mine? Who will carry mine? Who? Who will carry mine? Who will carry mine?A Dark Euphony, Pre-Order Campaign AnnouncementBlackbriarMusic2023-04-22 | We are beyond euphoric to announce that our new full-length album 'A DARK EUPHONY' is coming this fall!

--------------------------------------- ‘Crimson Faces’ Lyrics --------------------------------------- You dissolved into seafoam Never to return back home But you are immortal Within these walls of Manderley Where your spirit lingers While your body lies at the bottom of the sea
I'm walking in your hauntingly beautiful shadow Taunted by monstrous rhododendrons Watching me with their crimson faces Reminding everyone of your spilled blood
Like the sea, you are relentless Cold, gracious, and tempestuous And I can fight the living But I cannot fight the dead
I'm walking in your hauntingly beautiful shadow Taunted by monstrous rhododendrons Watching me with their crimson faces Reminding everyone of your spilled blood Reminding everyone of all that I am not
You're embracing me, so tauntingly (You're embracing me, tauntingly Possessively manifesting yourself on me) With the scent of white azaleas So sweet and heady
I'm walking in your hauntingly beautiful shadow Taunted by monstrous rhododendrons Watching me with their crimson faces Reminding everyone of your spilled blood Reminding everyone of all that I am notLivestream BlackbriarMusicBlackbriarMusic2022-09-09 | ...MY LOVE´S IN GERMANY - LIVE HANGOUT - WITH DARTAGNANBlackbriarMusic2022-09-09 | Let's celebrate the release of our latest video -MY LOVE'S IN GERMANY - together!

--------------------------------------- ‘Fairy of the Bog’ Lyrics ---------------------------------------
I dance with the fairies wearing cloaks of mist Encircled by a fiery little blue wisp
I was an offering to the gods And turned into the lady of the bog My body was found in Yde So that is now my name Displayed in a museum But I never went away
I dance with the fairies wearing cloaks of mist Encircled by a fiery little blue wisp
I was an offering to the gods And turned into the fairy of the bog The strangle cord still around my neck Like a necklace of braided wool Still roaming on the peatlands For a thousand years or two
I dance with the fairies wearing cloaks of mist Encircled by a fiery little blue wisp I joined them by the dolmen, that is where we live Where I dance in the meadow wearing a cloak of mist
I've died a threefold death And after I took my last breath A little wisp beckoned me to follow And sudden fog enshrouded me A misty cold yet warm embrace Come dance with us, she said with grace
I dance with the fairies wearing cloaks of mist Encircled by a fiery little blue wisp I joined them by the dolmen, that is where we live Where I dance in the meadow wearing a cloak of mistBlackbriar - Youre Haunting Me (Official Music Video)BlackbriarMusic2021-08-26 | The official music video for ‘You’re Haunting Me’, featured on our debut album ‘The Cause of Shipwreck’.

I am the instigator of all hate I bring the rain and the plague And for all the sins you commit I am the one to blame And confess, I must

-------------------------------------------------------- Walking over my Grave Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- There's someone walking over my grave For a sudden shiver is making its way Creeping over me, coursing down my spine And taking over this body of mine I can feel it in the depths of my being A chill of the blood, an ominous feeling There's someone walking over my grave
Or is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it in my bones
A horde of people are walking over my grave For these quivers aren't going away Making my hair stand on end and my teeth chatter Taking me into chilling rapture It's a quite persisting presence As if to forewarn me for something unpleasant A horde of people are walking over my grave
Or is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it Is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it in my bones
I am fully aware of all the warning signs Yet I'm serving my heart on a platter and my blood as wine So I might as well dance along with you For a piece of me already died
Is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it in my bones Is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it in my bones I might as well dance along with you Is that you dancing in front of my future headstone? You will be the death of me, I feel it in my bonesBlackbriar - Youre Haunting Me (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2021-04-22 | ‘You're Haunting Me’ is the 5th song on our debut album ‘The Cause of Shipwreck’.

-------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- I'm a romantic at heart Not in a rosy kind of way But quite a darker shade With excruciating vulnerability And dreadful sensibility I'd like you to levitate with me And be a leaf in gusty winds Guided by inexplicable things Gusty, just like you and I
I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover
I prefer singing to speech And know that I will always sing for you Even if I'm out of reach I'd like to think that I lift you up While you make sure I don't hover too far away And get lost in another time and place
I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover I know you are the rational type, a down-to-earth frame of mind But the thing that makes me whole is you and I combined
Oh, I will always sing for you Just listen and you can hear me singing for you
I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover I know you are the rational type, a down-to-earth frame of mind But the thing that makes me whole is you and I combinedBlackbriar - Confess (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2021-04-22 | ‘Confess’ is the 1st song on our debut album ‘The Cause of Shipwreck’.

You have been waiting for me In the end, you are all I need So I let myself fall backward Into the Challenger Deep Tonight the night seems darker The moon and stars enshrouded by clouds I let myself fall backward Upon the wings of a blackbird
Together we will fly into the void Together we will fly into the void
Take me with you through the crevice I'll be your Persephone But you won't be needing a pomegranate I'll stay with you regardlessly
Isn't it beautiful, isn't it beautiful?

-------------------------------------------------------- Selkie Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin When she was bathing in the morning light, he asked her "would you be my wife?" She said the ocean is where I belong, with me you cannot come along She swam away and kindly waved "So long, so long" And he said
Selkie, please come along with me Selkie, please come along with me
Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin Months turned into years, oh, his longing felt severe Until the day she came to land and shed her skin lying in the sand He stole what he believed he earned and took her by the hand And he said
Selkie, now you belong to me Selkie, now you belong to me
She took his hand and walked along, away from where she used to belong but left her heart there in the sea Months turned into years, oh, her longing felt severe Until the day she found her pelt and left without a farewell She shifted back and swam away and disappeared into the ocean's sway And he cried
Selkie, where are thee? Selkie, where are thee?
Upon a cliff, he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin Months turned into years, oh his longing felt severe Waiting to steal back her pelt, why she left, he could not tell He'd lost the one he never had and threw himself off the cliff and fell And he screamed
Selkie, I'll join you in the sea Selkie, I'll join you in the seaBlackbriar - Deadly Diminuendo (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2021-03-18 | ‘Deadly Diminuendo’ is the second single off our upcoming debut album ‘The Cause of Shipwreck’, which will be out on April 23!

-------------------------------------------------------- Deadly Diminuendo Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- There lies my body With holes where my eyes should have been Eaten by the alpine choughs They've taken my soul to the skies above
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
It is calling me home And so through pine trees, I roam Blinded by the alpine choughs They've taken my humanity to the skies above
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
I am listening to your still lingering echo While you're slowly fading away A deadly diminuendo And then silence, silence
With your vertigo-inducing peaks Where I can hear the echoes shriek As if they are still falling You're making me weak in the knees I wonder, will they ever reach the ground beneath?
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
I am listening to your still lingering echo While you're slowly fading away A deadly diminuendo And then silence, silenceBlackbriar - The Séance (Official Music Video)BlackbriarMusic2021-02-19 | ‘The Séance’ is the first single off our debut album ‘The Cause of Shipwreck’.

There are two sides to every story Do you want to hear my version of the allegory? I used to be beautiful and enigmatic Now they call me the madwoman in the attic Well, I sure as hell am mad
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basement
You loathed my free spirit And locked me up so you could kill it My crimes being self-willed and decadent Wouldn't you turn malevolent? I'm going to burn it all, I'm going to burn down Thornfield Hall
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basement
Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basement

I'd rather go to the stake I'd rather go to the stake I'd rather burn, oh I'd rather burn I'd rather burn at the stake
But know I'll return and I'll be dead awake I'll be dead awake, rising from the stake
And when you hear the following tune You'll know, you'll know When you hear the following tune You'll know that I'll be with you And when you hear the following tune You'll know, you'll know When you hear the following tune You'll know that I'll be with you soon
I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain With my delicate and fragile lady brain I will not let you get away I'd rather burn at the stake
But know I'll return and I'll be dead awake I'll be dead awake, rising from the stake
And when you hear the following tune You'll know, you'll know When you hear the following tune You'll know that I'll be with you And when you hear the following tune You'll know, you'll know When you hear the following tune You'll know that I'll be with you soon
Dadada dada dada dada dada da Dadada dada dada dada dada da
Won't let you take my soul away I'd rather go to the stake I'd rather burn, oh I'd rather burn I'd rather burn at the stake

-------------------------------------------------------- Beautiful Delirium Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- I felt like dead flowers in a vase Which somebody forgot to throw away Still standing here on public display All wilted and decayed
Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst And then you came
You said I was a piece of art Wild, complex and dark You called me a magical bouquet With opium poppy and wolfsbane Thorny roses and Nerium Such a beautiful delirium
I felt like dead flowers in a vase Badly and sadly arranged Hanging low in full disgrace All wilted and strange
Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst And then you came
You said I was a piece of art Wild, complex and dark You called me a magical bouquet With opium poppy and wolfsbane Thorny roses and Nerium Such a beautiful delirium
You said I was a piece of art Wild, complex and dark You called me a magical bouquet With opium poppy and wolfsbane
You said I looked like a painting Mysterious and fascinating You called me a magical bouquet With hemlock and deadly nightshade Thorn apple and lily of the valley Quite unusual, quite uncanny Thorny roses and Nerium Such a beautiful deliriumBlackbriar - The Roosters Crow (Official Audio)BlackbriarMusic2019-12-18 | Our Mortal Remains EP is now available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and all other music platforms.

-------------------------------------------------------- "The Rooster's Crow" Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- Will you have this dance with me? Like we do once a year You smell like bygone times Oh, how I've missed you, my dear Let's dance and pretend we don't know What must happen when we hear the rooster crow
Let's move to the song of the nightbird Like we do once a year You smell like roses and dirt Oh, how I'll miss you, my dear But now you must go For we've just heard the rooster crow
Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever And ever and ever and ever
I thank you for having this dance with me I'll be here next year To sniff you up and breathe you in Oh, I already miss you, my dear But now I must go I'm walking away to the sound of the rooster’s crow

-------------------------------------------------------- "Madwoman in the Attic" Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- There are two sides to every story Do you want to hear my version of the allegory? I used to be beautiful and enigmatic Now they call me the madwoman in the attic Well, I sure as hell am mad
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basement
You loathed my free spirit And locked me up so you could kill it My crimes being self-willed and decadent Wouldn't you turn malevolent? I'm going to burn it all, I'm going to burn down Thornfield Hall
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basement
Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic Madwoman, madwoman, madwoman in the attic A strange wild animal, a beast, a manic
I tried to warn you, my foolish replacement So you wouldn’t turn to be the madwoman in the basementBlackbriar - Mortal Remains (Official Music Video)BlackbriarMusic2019-11-21 | We proudly present to you our song and music video called 'Mortal Remains', we’ve gone deep and dark with this one.

-------------------------------------------------------- Mortal Remains Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- I am digging deeper into the dark sand Cold and wet earth in my bare hands A desperate undertaking, it is all I have left I cannot live with this unbearable pain in my chest
I do not care if I am disturbing you Oh, I know I am filled with greed
Finally I found you, I need to feel whole Oh, my love, I am here to take back what you stole Somewhere in your coffin, I am searching for my soul
I do not care if I am disturbing you Oh, I know I am filled with greed You disturbed me ever since you left me here to bleed
All I have found are your mortal remains Lying on this dirty ground Where are you now? Where are you now? I cannot feel you around
I do not care if I am disturbing you Oh, I know I am filled with greed You disturbed me ever since you left me here to bleedBlackbriar - Arms of the Ocean (Acoustic) [Live]BlackbriarMusic2019-09-04 | This is an acoustic live performance of our song 'Arms of the Ocean'.
Through the sound of raging waves Her voice is leading me astray I feel I need to be with her right away For she sounds so sweet I cannot leave her all alone Here in this deep and dark blue unknown
Come swim to me in a forward motion Lie with me in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Show me the way with your melody
Oh my dear unwary sailor Come to my shore, it's way safer Than the roaring sea, I need you here with me Oh my sweet unwary man Follow my voice and take my hand Let me take you to the promised land
Come swim to me in a forward motion Lie with me in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Show me the way with your melody
She's pulling me into the fathomless deep There's nothing I can do She’s pulling me into eternal sleep There we go
We’re sinking with graceful motion Lying forever in the arms of the ocean Sing to me my lady of the sea Sing me your lullaby so I can go peacefully

You used to call me Rose Red How could I ever forget? Full of love and passion you said Now I'm full of hatred and filled with dread
We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand
Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red Snow White, Snow White, Snow White
You used to call me Snow White A snowflake shining bright Full of serenity and light Now my heart is suffering from frostbite
We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend We are one, we could do anything if you just hold my hand We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand
Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red Snow White, Snow White, Snow White All the tears that I have shed When they took you away, Rose Red I cried myself to sleep each night Since we were forced apart, Snow White
We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend We are one, we could do anything if you just hold my hand We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand

-------------------------------------------------------- 'Cry of a Banshee' Lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------- On a dreary night, he met a woman down by the water side Drawn by her weeping song, even the wind was humming along And all the trees were moving to the sound she was producing He watched her sing, feeling her song might be meant for him
She weeps oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee
On a dreary night he met a woman all dressed in misty white He walked towards her and he asked: "my fair lady, why so sad?" Suddenly her melancholic melody Felt no longer serene and turned into a piercing scream
She weeps oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee
She already knew, she already knew, she already knew What he came here to do For she is the omen of death, the harbinger of doom
She weeps oh she weeps It's death that she foresees The cry of a banshee, cry of a banshee
