‘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.
Can't wait 🖤
come to Portugal ...we are waiting
I love it 😍
This is beautiful!!!
Marvellous ♥ As always, I'm enchanted(bewitched) by your voice!
Zora is a siren, a fairy, a witch. Zora is all the good things
Yes. I wait for their first gothic full-lenght movie.
Zora... Me recuerda a la raza de hombres pez en Zelda
Little red riding hood
With Blackbriar everything is beautiful. Blackbriar is the most impresive and poetic band.
Thank you so much Jones!!
My favorite band, and Spotify proves that every year 🤘🏽
Wow! Thank you, Aries! That really means the world to us!!! 🖤🧚
Can't believe this was made because of the yde girl, banger
True thoooo 🔥🔥🔥
Came here because i heard it was written about her
She deserves this and more. Imagine dying at 16 because of superstition.
Now she has a story
@@Lady_Crispr and, unfortunately, she was likely chosen because of her physical deviations.
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.
Earlier examinations of the body before most of it deteriorated to nothing say she suffered from scoliosis and was 4'6. It's rumoured she and a small boy about 7-10 years old with a hip deformity that would have left him unable to walk were sacrificed by their people as they were unfavoured by the gods and their people wanted to appease them
@@baileyblackwellandsophietu7001 i respect in appreciate the gods in goddesses but i know there listening but i still not sacrifice someone for them
They need more attention, Blackbriar is fantastic as band in all senses.
Why this song makes me cry? I love all the history.
Is a sad history turned into a beautiful fairy history.
Your sweet messages mean a lot to us, Jones!! 🖤🧚
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. 🖤
Same
same
same
Same
Same
It's always a good day when a new video pops up from blackbriar.
That's amazing to hear!!! Thank you 🖤🧚

When you know what the song is about these lyrics really give you chills🥶
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.
Просто восхитительно! Невероятная атмосфера. С вашими песнями погружаюсь в иной мир.
🖤🧚🖤🧚🖤🧚
It's fantasy and symphonic goth mixed together!
We're so happy that you like it!! Thank you for your message!! 🖤🧚🖤🧚
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!
We're happy that you lke it!! Thank you so much for the compliments!!! 🖤🧚
I've listened to every female singer that there is for the last 8 years on UA-cam and I'm being very honest here Zora has the number one best voice of Any... by far, she is the absolute best singer❤
I so much concur ❤
Очередной шедевр в исполнении очаровательной сирены.
🖤🧚
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
This story would make such a cool horror/fantasy movie!!!
Agreed! 🖤🧚
Новая,прекрасная сказка!Спасибо Вам.
🖤🧚
As always, Zora's voice and expressions seamlessly combine with this group's costume design, visual effects, and flowing melodies to create a truly captivating and enticing magical experience.
With their every song, Blackbriar casts an unbreakable spell on us all.
Wow, thank you so much for the compliments and kind words, Matt! It truly means the world to us!!!
Blackbriar: Gothic fairy tales. You fill a niche in my heart that I didn't realize was there.
The band Snow White Blood does the same, check them out!
We're so happy that you like it!!!
I come back here always to hear the beautiful zora's voice.
This is why I love Blackbriar's music, in this world all of the most mainstream music Is so empty, SO vain, but Blackbriar is full of emotions, with beautiful, sad, lovely feelings. A true music Is a empty world.
Thank you for coming back to listen to our music, it means so much to us 🖤🧚
Each song is better than the other. You cannot imagine how much his compositions move us. Thank you very much for giving us so much musical pleasure!
Wow, you're kind words mean the world to us, Andy!!! 🖤🧚 Thank you!!!
You guys and your stories in these songs just keep getting more and more beautiful every time. ❤
Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment, Cat!!! 🖤🧚
Zora, why are You SO perfect? Your voice is from other world
Such an incredibly powerful song! Zora's voice is the most enchanting I have ever heard! The power in this music makes you feel so many emotions. It evokes something within. This is not the first time I have listened to this song and certainly will not be the last, but just something on this specific night with this specific song. Bravo Zora and the Blackbriar band! Fantastic! Ephemeral!
One of my absolute favorite treats from listening to Blackbriar, as someone who studies and teaches fairy tales and folk stories, is that I discover new lore all the time, especially folklore from places I've never been to and haven't heard of. I didn't know about the Yde Girl or the Witte Wieven before listening to this song and as soon as it was over, I went to research more about them. Then, I came back and noticed more things in the video I hadn't understood before, like the sprang around her neck being removed by the Witte Wieven or how she holds her collarbone where the wound was located. You are fantastic storytellers and Zora is inspiring ♥
Thank you so much for yor beautiful message!! It truly means the world to us! I always love writing about folklore and history, and this is the first time I wrote something that lies closer to me and where I come from. I'm happy that you like it!! 🖤🧚🖤🧚
@@blackbriarmusic Thank YOU for the music, the stories and the enchanting way in which you show us the path through magical worlds we didn't even know existed ♥

@@lordfenrir304 hi! Me too!
@@biancaassumpcao5656 Is it possible to find you on social media? And we are speaking English even after learning that we are both from the same country! 😅
Thank you so much!!! 🖤🧚
Can we take a moment to talk about this wonderful clip ? Much more well done than most of other band's ! Blackbriar never disappoint, they have such a unique vibe
Thank you so much for the amazing compliment, Emilie! It means a lot to us! 🖤🧚
I believe that there is no boundaries of greatness for this band . they keep getting better and more awesome with every note.
No words enough to describe....
A(nother) true audiovisual masterpiece of poetry, mystery and deep meaning.
Thanks, again, Zora, Bart, Robin, Frank, René, Ruben, and all the production crew, for this....
You really changed my way of watch and hear videoclips, I've learned how to aprecciate every second of music, every instrument, every scene in the videos, and how to close my eyes sometimes, or just let the voice carry me to unknow places, and it's truly a pleasant feeling, and also, changed in many ways my life.
Really, really thanks!!!!
It's official, all of you, are my favorite band.

Siena?
Зора как всегда прекрасна, песня превосходна, Blackbriar изумительны! 🇷🇺❤
🖤🧚
I got curious and googled it, and find it very interesting that this song is based on an actual body the Yde Girl. The song adds magic to her tragic story, it's beautiful.
This is a really good song
Now I'm going to listen this masterpiece repeatedly for a month, maybe two idk
Just wanted to say, you have really unique music genre and really awesome album photos. Usually, my fav musicians get worse day by day but you're getting better. I'm glad to find you 2 years ago :3
Thank you for your kind words, Shiney Light! And have fun listening to this song on repeat!! 🖤🧚🖤🧚
There is no other voice in the world as beautiful as Zora's...and I Really mean that...I'm ordering this CD... Its like her voice is Magical...like shes a Magical Fairy herself ! So cool...I'd like to be her freind...
I'd like more CD's, please. I love to have great music on my shelf. Oldfashioned ? Okay.
agreed
This music is so aswome- its nearly addicting! And this just is so filled with fantasy for me, its really beautifull how you did the video and the song! ❤
How not to love this Masterpiece? Is so beautiful, I listen the song night and day and relax me, makes me feel so peaceful.
🖤🖤🖤
Youre voice is amazing as always 💜
Thank you so much for your kind words 🖤🧚
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Every Blackbriar song is a masterpiece - thank you so much for making such beautiful music!
Wow! That means the world to us! 🖤🧚 Thank you for your message, Melynda!!!
I just always come back here, i'm in love with the song, makes me feel sad and happy, is strange and beautiful.
I don't even know how to express my love for this song and for you, Blackbriar. Please, keep going releasing wonderful masterpieces like this one, you never disappoint. This song is pure magic.
Thank you so much for your beautiful message, Faith Gigliorosa, it truly means the world to us!!!! 🖤🧚
This song is in My head all time, is SO beautiful.
Zora's voice is so beautiful
🖤🧚
Blackbriar's music just keeps getting better and better over time. I love how they are able to transition so easily from ethereal wistfulness to deep emotion to powerful energy and back again that tells as much of the story as Zora's haunting lyrics and melodic voice. 💜
true
This is likely going to become a favourite of mine. I love it and the video. Sapphic + mystical vibes ❤️
That's amazing to hear, RebLau! 🖤🧚 Thank you so much for your kind word!!
Everything they make is just getting better and better, I really don't think it's possible for them to plateau, at least not anytime soon. Keep it up Blackbriar, been loving and will continue loving all your music!
Zora is an enchantress. She teaches Sirens their craft.
To see that type of fairy dance without invitation is a death sentence. Beautiful wild Magik of the darkness type.
I swear you guys get better with every new release, and you were already pretty freaking fantastic! 🖤🖤
That's amazing to hear, Lilithmae!!! Thank you for the compliment and kind words 🖤🧚
Beautiful song with meaninful and beautiful lyrics...Blackbriar need. More attention.
We really appreciate your sweet messages, Jones 🖤🧚
I'm rewatching because I still haven't had enough of this video and wonderful song. I love that it is you guys giving the lady of the bog a nice place in the ... "underworld" to be.
There was once this young girl that was henry II's "mistress"... ( probably she no saying in the matter but ) anyway, she had been properly buried in the place where she supposedly died, Godstow abbey. But a Bishop came up one day and saw her grave full of flowers and tributes, very much loved, so he had her dug up and re-buried in some other place outside the cemetery and the property because he considered her a "harlet"... very sad. She became known as Rosamund Clifford, even though "rosamund" might not ever have been her name, but it means "rose of the world" and she was considered the most beautiful lady back then... some people claimed that she became a grey ghost in Godstow Abbey, after having been "re-buried"... I did a watercolor painting in which she became a nayad. A nymph of the lakes and streams, that protects her waters and no one can mess with her... it's a resting place for her... in this video you guys do this for Yde. That's beautiful. ❤❤❤
Something different 😮 I didn't expect that 👀 Also magically ✨
Thank you so much, Blackcat!! 🖤🧚
The unmistakable voice of Zora...
Gothic.. angelic....dark in historic meaning...yet..notes lighter than air .
Beautiful song ... beautiful video .. Beautiful band...🖤✴️🖤.
Wow, thank you so much for your beautiful words, Marvin!!!
BLACKBRIAR, YOU'RE EVERYTHING I LOVE
Thank you so much! We love you too! 🖤🧚
Another class track, from a very underrated Goth/Metal Band just can't get enough of these guys❤❤🇬🇧
I loooooooooove it! The song, the video. Zora's vocals are amazing as usual. Thank you, Blackbriar!
Wow! Thank you so much for the compliments, Michelle! 🖤🧚
Absolutely beautiful!! I love the cinematography.
Thank you so much for the compliment!!! 🖤🧚
Undeniable fact: Blackbriar don't have bad songs. 😌❤❤❤
(for someone, who would even think to argue with me 😡, i repeat: Blackbriar. Don't have. Bad songs.)
Zora. You are precious. (and my personal drug, haha 😅) ❤❤❤
Band - you are amazing, guys! You create SO GOOD music! ❤👍
You're so sweet! Thank you for the compliments, Oleanda!!! 🖤🧚
Well, there is one. Just one. But it's not included in any EP or album, so it's ok ahah (it's the very first song on the channel, spoiler alert :)
With Blackbriar we can always expect a beautiful and hauting video
That really means a lot to us, thank you 🖤🧚
Again I'm blown away by this band, and Zora is so mezmorizing
Thank you so much, Gabriel!!! 🖤🧚
Zora is the most beautiful fairy.
Thank you for the compliment 🖤🧚
Holy shit. I hear some old school nightwish influence in this! What a fucking masterpiece! Please, never stop what you guys do. This kinda music makes most of life bearable.
Everything here is so beautiful. Tragic, yet beautiful. Now that's real magic
I am amazed at your ability to keep coming up with these enchanting, unique songs. I love the dark vibe of this one, and the video is great too!
Thank you so much for the compliment, Konrad! That really means a lot to us! 🖤🧚
Can we all appreciate how unique this song and video is? 😌
Thank you so much for the compliment, CassandraRose 🖤🧚

Thank you so much for the compliment, Jasmin! It really means the world to us! 🖤🧚
can we talk about how pretty and talented Zora is
Thank you so much for the compliment , Mela🖤🧚
Me encanta como relatan en sus canciones historias, leyendas, mitos y muchas cosas más. Ayer durante la transmisión, leía la letra y me llamó la atención la frase:
"My body was found in Yde
so that is now my name"
Busque "Yde lady of the Bog" y me encontré con que en Holanda, 1897, fue encontrado el cuerpo de una niña de 16 años, momificada, con una puñalada en las clavículas y con signos de haber sido estrangulada a manera de ritual. Es una historia muy triste ya que la pequeña, sufría de escoliosis. Y ahora su cuerpo momificado es exhibido en un museo.
Me encanta Blackbriar, siempre me incentivan a investigar y conocer de muchos de los temas que relatan con su música.🤍
🖤🧚🖤🧚🖤🧚
@@blackbriarmusic love from 🇲🇽
Forget nightwish, evanescence, tristania and within temptation, my favorite band forever it's Blackbriar. Zora it's literally the best and most impressive singer (siren) of the world and nothing else matters.
I have the same Feeling about Zora and Her Band !!!!
those are completely different singing styles. you cannot compare tarja or floor to evanescence or zora. Both are pretty in their own way, but the style and also the difficulty is different. (at least if you look at it from an operatic perspective)
@@wolfsmaid6815 I get what you say, but I'm not comparing, just ranking my favorite bands, that was in the first time nightwish, evanescence and +, but now it's blackbriar.
Dit heb ik nog nooit meegemaakt. Het liedje 1 keer gehoord en dag erna bleef het rondspoken in mijn hoofd.
Ik weet niet hoe jullie dit doen maar dit is weer een top nummer!
Het verhaal is ook fascinerend. Het veenmeisje is bij deze vereeuwigd in een waardig nummer.
Wauw! Ontzettend bedankt voor je mooie woorden, Timothy!! We waarderen het enorm!!! 🖤🧚
Zora's voice 🥵❤🥺
Thank you, Rosalie 🖤🧚
I'm utterly obsessed with this song - so much so some of the lyrics have inspired my wedding dress. I start mocking it up next month (after payday 😂)
I'm gonna dance with the fairies wearing a "cloak of mist" ❤️
Your voice reminds me so much of Sharon den Adel from within temptation. So hauntingly beautiful and siren like 😍 I‘m so in love with this song 💜
This band is so underrated ngl.
The song is great just like many others in my opinion
Perfeito como sempre!!✨
🖤🧚
Oh my god, Zora, as always, your mind is capable of enshrouding senile mysteries more than the distant of galaxies. Now I truly believe that the humble girl Yde found freedom and grace in death both from her own suffering and that caused by others upon her. Thank you to your talents for this mesmerizingly beautiful gift to us and in her memory.💓💕
Thank you so much for your beautiful message, Ina! That truly means the world to us!!!! 🖤
WOW, just WOW! That was awesome! The production, visuals, vocals/instrumentation AND the little musical goodies, like the gentle snare drum mid way into the video. :)
We're so thrilled that you like it, Henry! Thank you for your kind words!!!! 🖤🧚
Me encanta la voz de Zora, dulce pero misteriosa al mismo tiempo. También me encanta su creatividad al contar las historias de sus videos y como las realacionan con sus canciones. 🖤🤘
🖤🧚!!!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Thank you so much, Zita! You're wonderful as well!! 🖤🧚
Classic Blackbriar - mysterious, melodical, charming. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Morgreek!! 🖤🧚
The beginning with the lights reminds me of Harry Potter when Sirius was almost kissed by the dementors. Amazing song as always... I think this will be one of my favorite ones so far
Ahhh yes! I can see that as well! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🖤🧚
No proper words to express the beauty in this song also, as their many others. I bless the moment I discovered Blackbriar ... Love at first hear 😍
Another Masterpiece!!! They never disappoint! I love Blackbriar 🖤
Thank you so much!!! 🖤🧚
Blackbriar music videos never cease to amaze me! 😎
Thank you so much, Jerry 🖤🧚
I love how you guys made a song about "het meisje van Yde", and showed something in the video that's very 'Drents' (hunebed). At primary school we've been taught about het meisje van Yde, and the hunebeds. Something very Drents turned into a song for the world to listen. That's beautiful. I hope to meet you guys one day, as I'm a fan and actually grew up in Assen myself. A local band this big already is amazing
You guys are amazing💞
I can't get enough of this song!😍 The video is beyond word's. The special effects were amazing, the story was beautiful(i love fairies and tales about the will-o'-the-wisp) and the fact that Zora's Sister's in it is so adorable.😄
Thank you so much for your beautiful message, Jiolet! It means a lot to us!!! 🖤🧚
I am in love with this band
Me too
дуже класно, віоряд, спів, музика. прємно дивитися.
Magnificent. Enchanting. Hauntingly beautiful. Yet another masterpiece.
Thank you so much 🖤🧚
Another haunting masterpiece ❤ Love the visuals. Having read the lyrics, I've now learned something new. My first time hearing of the Yde girl and now I've read her story, thank you for bringing her to my attention. This song is a beautiful tribute to her, poor little love. A UK fan 🙏❤
Aww poor little love is right
Your beautiful words mean the world to us! Thank you so much!!!
As I walk the Wiccan Path, this song is just astoundingly beautiful to hear surrounded by nature. As a new fan, I have only just begun to experience your music. May your journey continue ever onward. Blessed be!
You always find the way to make a melodies super catchys that stays in head
Thank you for the compliment, Fernando!!! 🖤🧚
Life is good when blackbriar releases music😌❤️
We're so happy to hear that, Celycely 🖤🧚
by far one of my favorites you've ever done.
I have no words to describe the pleasure and power that this melody creates💖
That means so much to us 🖤🧚 Thank you!!!
