‘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 mist

A misty cold yet warm embrace, come dance with us, she said with grace 🌬 Our new single ‘Fairy of the Bog’ is out now! That it may lead your mind wandering astray, following a will-o'-the-wisp to our enchanted forest, where the fairies are waiting for you. <3 Blackbriar

Zora is a siren, a fairy, a witch. Zora is all the good things

[jones]

With Blackbriar everything is beautiful. Blackbriar is the most impresive and poetic band.

[NicoandIndy]

Can't believe this was made because of the yde girl, banger

[Tetsugaku]

Imagine someone writing a song about you 2000 years later that has a better ending than what probably happened to you back then. For me, this song reflects the hope and magic that she may not have found during her lifetime. If the Yde girl was really sacrificed I hope she found a better place after death than during her lifetime.

[AriesTerron]

My favorite band, and Spotify proves that every year 🤘🏽

[Rh]

I was sent here by a comment on a video about the Yde girl, listening to the lyrics and knowing her fate and what happened to her body after being found etc, this made me cry.
I really hope her spirit is dancing with with the faeries. 🖤

[jones]

They need more attention, Blackbriar is fantastic as band in all senses.

[sashav.]

Просто восхитительно! Невероятная атмосфера. С вашими песнями погружаюсь в иной мир.

[jones]

Why this song makes me cry? I love all the history.

Is a sad history turned into a beautiful fairy history.

[VampireSamzke]

I love the fact that you guys casually intertwined some Dutch history in the song!
The song is amazing and has a very magical and dreamy feeling to it. It's amazingly done! <3

[trashcanmessiah]

It's always a good day when a new video pops up from blackbriar.

[Vados_Marshall]

Очередной шедевр в исполнении очаровательной сирены.

[BlackRainRising]

why did it only now, after listening to this a couple hundred times, suddenly hit me she's singing an afterlife of the woman they found in the peat bogs that was still fully intact

[Agonizeddeadrose]

It's fantasy and symphonic goth mixed together! <3 Zora's voice is everything that the scene needs. This is so refreshing and phenomenal.

[florelle]

This story would make such a cool horror/fantasy movie!!!

[AK-Ram-tech]

The YDE Girl... I had to do some quick research while I listened to the song and wow, I was not expecting what I found. I have learned something new while listening to Blackbriar.

[crishoudini]

Still listening to this gem, honoring the memory of the Yde girl! May she rest in peace.

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 yеars or two

I dance with the fairies, wеaring 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 mist

Blackbriar: Gothic fairy tales. You fill a niche in my heart that I didn't realize was there.
