‘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 not

[blackbriarmusic]

Our new single ‘Crimson Faces’ is out and all yours now! We hope you love it, and that it may manifest itself on you possessively, so sweet and heady. Listen to it, enjoy it, share it, and pretend to wander in a haunted old mansion to it! Love,  Blackbriar

[bugohoss]

Congratulations to Nuclear Blast for having signed one of the most amazing bands on this planet! Blackbriar is just great and this song is fantastic, the video beautiful done. Hopefully Blackbriar will keep on doing what they do until eternity and lots of people will find them with the new support from a label!

[grgn]

I have no idea why they are not more famous. Their material sounds way better than the most recent songs released by Nightwish or Within Temptation that are considered to be legends. I hope they will get more recognized soon.

"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 (You're embracing me, tauntingly)
So 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 not

Whoever composes these songs is such a good composer. The instrumental side of the music is perfect.

[danelmore]

Zora and the boys never disappoint and now have raised the bar even higher! Let's all show our appreciation and leave them a tip.
Blackbriar is Magical.

[crissargent]

the more i hear blackbriar, the more i love them

[malfeasance]

Blackbriar is quickly becoming my favourite band

[Darkfyre]

It's like you follow a band and you're like OK that's it. They can't get any better than they are right now. WRONG!!! This band just keeps me captivated with every note.

[cocoacastsdjgod]

Just wanted to tell you, my infant son goes to sleep with your music each night. Lilith be gone is his favorite. Know your music goes appreciated

[GARYBLONDER]

It was love at first bar for this truly glorious slice of Gothic Symphonic Metal. This is a band that has achieved the difficult distinction of being DISTINCTIVE - after a few bars, you know it's them - in large part due to Zora Cock's unique "lost child" voice. It's a major coup for Nuclear Blast to sign them.
I love everything about this tune. For a start, the production is magnificent - a wonderful listening experience with decent headphones. The hook, the melody, the arrangements, the feeling of it, the chorus, all marvellous. It's an instant gig favourite, and a total must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*

[Captainess_Sway]

We don't have enough recognised, beautiful soprano voices in this world. I especially love her timbre. She's like if Snow White joined a gothic metal band.

[rowenar]

[natthegnat]

Saw an advertisement for this song. Don’t regret clicking on whatsoever. This song is fire.

[hy_bails]

This band, the instrumentals, the melodies, Zora's vocal... they never disappoint! Beautiful composition, as always 💜

[asmitahasgard]

Congratulations to the guitarists, drummer and the excellent singer with the voice of a mermaid, I think I'm bewitched, from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[richardjones]

A new single and getting signed by Nuclear Blast - congratulations Blackbriar.

[markcampbell]

I had to hear this song three time's before I started to fully appreciate it. It's a great track and I really like it, but every song Blackbriar has done up until now has been great so I needed a couple of listens to really take it in. Blackbriar by far are my favorite band out there these day's. I love Zora and the band. I hope we see a full length album soon. Until then, this is a great song! Thanks!

[newmachine]

Blackbriar never have made bad songs.
That rule is still alive and strong.

[Hea]

I'm vote for this song in "Best metal song of 2022" by Metal Hammer UK. There are a lot of more famous bands on the list, so I think every vote will help people who are don't know Blackbriar to discover this group. Best wishes!
