‘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 whisper

Side note : I like the fact that Nuclear Blast understands and respects the importance of all Blackbriar art continuing to be on BlackbriarMusic instead of their own channel.

[@Thor-ELWodenson-bw9kt]

I need you more. Us as one.

[@Thor-ELWodenson-bw9kt]

Ready go back living?

[@cptrevenant4088]

NB is typically pretty chill about that stuff

[@anthonybarnes1903]

Blackbriar probably owns the rights to their music and channel, so it’s likely that they can do whatever they want with it.

[@BlaBla-pf8mf]

Blackbriar keeps symphonic metal alive

[@edsonoliveira7521]

How beautiful it is to see the evolution of Blackbriar. This video, in this format, takes us back to the band's beginnings with Ready to Kill. Everything is very beautiful, the framing, the band playing. Zora's Kulning singing is a delight to listen to. Congratulations on the album release! Long live Blackbriar! 🖤🌹

[@sienaasem-som6616]

That's why life it's so beautiful... 3 minutes and 50 seconds of pure art and beauty.

[@everrime]

You want me to wait for two days? That is pure evil!

[@RubyInHerDoomsdayBlue]

Three days for me - I seriously cannot wait!

[@everrime]

I am here to tell you guys: It was worth the wait.

[@elendil_lehtinen]

Another dark romantic masterpiece to give eternal love to!🖤🥀💀 What an amazing journey are you taking us on with "A Dark Euphony"?!? I'm glad beyond words that I was present for the video premiere, as the imagery is absolutely breathtaking: Zora making me weak at the knees in the most beautiful sense, again and again, and the guys delivering all the energy and passion we love so much! I mean, just look at the scenery surrounding our insanely talented sweethearts - I don't think any other place could fit the atmosphere of "Spirit of Forgetfulness" or even the general sound of Blackbriar better! What a beautiful way to celebrate the release of the album in style...🥰🎉🎈💥 I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Blackbriar - not only for your incomparable art that saves countless lives and enchants us on a daily basis, but also for releasing a JAPANESE EDITION of the album. This means the world to me, as I'm currently living in the land of the rising sun. Such a release cannot be taken for granted!🇯🇵🫶✨️ This video is another magical sign: Not even the sky is the limit for these wonderful human beings! It means nothing less than the world that we have the opportunity to explore your world again and make it ours!🥀🖤🌙

[@PW_Thorn]

Thanks for expressing it the way you did ❤️🙏

[@regulationcrash2029]

Total masterpiece she killed it

[@dawidgajewski6163]

Zora should be next guest singer for Kamelot 😀 She has very unique and beautiful voice and Thomas always pick up talented singers on albums

[@pudelnudel6915]

She already has a band though...

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

​@@pudelnudel6915guest vocalist

[@jones5541]

Yes please

[@-danny.]

The chorus is surprisingly more pop sounding than I expected. This is gonna be stuck in my head all day 😅

[@moe5162]

She has such a unique unforgettable voice and pure talent.

[@PW_Thorn]

👍 Lethe can do nothing to make us forget Zora's voice 😁 😁

[@eathworms]

Как всегда на высшем уровне!!!

[@MaveiksART]

Любимая Zora, Спасибо большое за чудесный альбом❤❤❤

[@lexicalvoice]

This looks good its just Zora! Diabolical nefarious volatile malevolent malicious in all the good ways! Her art can convey any emotion explainable or unexplainable can’t wait🖤

[@MrAdmer]

Zora is beautiful as always

[@ana_carolina_sabino94]

I think that when we listen to a song for the first time, we have to find the right moment to immerse ourselves in the message and this always happens when I listen to Blackbriar, it's like entering a unique, magical reality. Thank you again for telling your stories 🌹

[@Vecordi_]

I love them. A crowd of men with varying degrees of baldness and a beautiful red-haired vocalist with a wonderful voice

[@PaulaLouiseMendoza]

that’s where she gets the vocal power 😂

[@kelsianderson8903]

I swear every time I listen to your music, it always takes my breath away and makes me dance around like a loon!! Thank you so much!! You are seriously my favorite band!❤❤❤

[@ЯрославХаритонов-м9ъ]

I haven't listened for a long time, the girl has grown up beautifully🌹

[@metalrob0321]

Every single new song they release is always amazing never a disappointment this is amazing I'm in anticipation for this new album ❤❤❤❤ Zora my enchantress you have once again bewitched me sweetheart 😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤

[@NoroLevonian-dx1en]

Fabulous as always. Not just the singing but the whole band. Rock on.

[@potatokiller4188]

I love how catchy it is while retaining that Blackbriar vibe

[@adamanttonox3797]

Life with Blackbriar is unique dark and magic way 🖤🤘❤️

[@quinleyadventureawaits]

Your music is always so inspiring. I love the reference to the river, Lethe. ❤

[@shinikpovbel1037]

Красавица Зорушка. Голос просто шедевреален.

[@PW_Thorn]

👍"Zorushka" suits her really well, I think.

[@Snakepit_Media]

We love waking up to a new blackbriar music video omgs

[@chriscarey1206]

I found the latest while drunk. Worth every second

[@mattkingsbury9459]

As always, Zora is a beautiful, haunting, Gothic siren. I also love how the instrumentals in this song sound a lot more triumphant, almost victorious. I love the creepier, more somber vibes of their other songs, but here the guys definitely give us a theme of almost ascension--there's definitely a theme of rising going on here with the music. Or, given Lethe, dare I say... ...a summoning?

[@playgamescarlos]

Hi! I got my chance to watch your premiere music video, Spirit of Forgetfulness. Your song is pretty good indeed. Instrumentals, vocals, and everything else are good! For music video, this is all cool! A great location for making music video production. Camera movements are good there, and so are the video shots w/edits. Great performances! And your crew deserved round of applauses for all the hard work making music video with all of you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@merlinareinke1731]

I have slept for 14 hours since monday. It is saturday. I forgot it all. But I still remembered you blackbriar❤

[@РОМАНВЛАДИМИРОВ-ч6д]

обожая голос зоры. у неё редкий тип уникального голоса который звучит лучше огромного количества солисток в жанре. и как всегда поражает насколько она сложные продуманнаые тексты пишет с высоким уровнем английского

[@robbabcock_]

Beautiful! 🎸🥰🔥🎼🙌

[@krazykris2208]

Beautiful song! Zora Beautiful voice

[@roadwarrior2348]

Beautiful song...! 😮

[@dennissolano1540]

Thank you guys. I loved everything about the song, the energy, lyrics, melodies and outfits . I am mesmerized once again. This is going to be on a infinite loop in my playlist for many days! Espero verlos algún día en Latinoamerica, please don't forget to visit Costa Rica.

Out of the album, I found myself replaying this song the most! I love it so much! 🖤

[@jones5541]

Beautiful and talented lady with a handsome and talented gentlemen, Blackbriar is perfection.

[@eduard_627]

Another MASTERPIECE from Blackbriar, amazing!!

[@DAngel_93]

Zora is so beautiful

[@shade_dere]

Can't wait!

[@33shin33]

this song is going to be legendary for decades to come.

[@gwenhpumpkin]

I went out to write my opinion about how great this song was and saw that the A Dark Euphony album was available. I lost track of time (or rather, I entered the fairy world and never left) while listening. 🥺 🧚‍♀️

[@WorldExtremeMetal]

2:53 A magnificent combination of melody and vocals, creating a magical aura. The entire video is infused with profound emotion, and I can't tear myself away from this composition! Great job! ❤🖤❤

[@PW_Thorn]

Exactly!

[@MaveiksART]

Вау, я не знал что перед релизом альбома будет клип) Очень жду видео и сам альбом конечно же:)

[@Vados_Marshall]

Великолепно, шикарный клип с чарующим голосом, одним словом лучшие

[@angelfire346]

She is a fairy of light in our dark world❤😊

[@emrysdailleurs4864]

I've been following you for a few years now, and I have to say this album is my favorite and this song is probably my new favorite song !!!!!

[@sirgog]

My number 2 from the new album, behind only the magnificent Forever And A Day. This really is a horror story in the form of a beautiful song. If you tour Australia, I'll be there in a heartbeat.

[@seanchiarot]

New Band Discovered! Love the sound alot!

[@onyxalyx6065]

Glad you love them as much as the rest of us! Always lovely to have new Thorns on the rosebush!

[@yokai333]

The briar garden has grown

[@PW_Thorn]

To me, discovering Blackbriar is like beeing 10yo and finding Disneyland in the middle of the Mordor...

[@riruootori9595]

I bought your album! I love your music! If you can, please come to Japan to perform live!

[@melwin2251]

I can't stop listening to this

[@SnowWolvesStorm]

Wow, I love this!. Your beautiful voice, along with the fantastic music is so amazing! Love from the USA 🇺🇸

[@arsa1651]

Ништяк

[@avr7120]

ive been listening to you for years and to this album alomst non-stop since it came out cause its just so good. I know you have lots of fans beside me but youre still sooo deviously underrated in my opinion

[@PW_Thorn]

The point is there is not even enough human beings on earth to rate them properly.😊

[@r.guerrero]

Another beautiful melody. Thank you 💓💓

[@dayanemyers1439]

Cada vez mais apaixonada por essa banda 😍🥰

[@FernandoOgliarideOliveira]

Aguardando a vinda pro BR

[@aphotic3774]

Friday can not get here fast enough.🤘

[@behlulrios3338]

Me encanta!.... espero no ser el único de habla hispana que os escucha.

[@mercuriolife1011]

No eres el único. Yo también los escucho. Estuve muy emocionada todo este tiempo esperando el nuevo álbum. 🤭 ¡Saludos desde Argentina!

[@malinagabrielledelioncourt4102]

X3 saludos desde México ❤🎉

[@tamy7718]

[@jaquelinecabrera1104]

It can't be that beautiful!! This album was worth waiting for. We love you guys.🖤🥀

[@juliaodonovan]

Omg this is my favorite song yet from the new album 😍🤩 I love it so much!!! The setting is epic and I love that this is another video with all the members!

[@EghaigYTB]

If the album is as magnificient as the previous albums, this will be awesome ❤ thank you for all you've done for your listeners

[@LordTridus]

This song is utterly brilliant, hauntingly beautiful and tragic.

[@rosegoi360]

Never a disappointment! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@ANME1rocker]

Love Ruben headbanging on the piano.

[@Imaginary257]

I adore this song, the story telling, the choir-like chorus. Different to the Blackbriar norm but still absolutely amazing.

[@studiocrimniko7181]

I fell in so much love with your music, its enchanting, haunting, genuinely stays in my head, and I sometimes humm it. It almost feels like a dark lullaby. As an artist myself it awakens art ideas, animations, scenes I really want to draw. Thank you so much for this magic

[@bigmw]

Lucky me cause I know who Blackbriar are and I know their music😃 and I love it!

[@ArwenStarsongMusic]

had a listen to the album already. i love how you guys have evolved these past few years! you're really incredible!

[@ivanaxelsson926]

HAIL BLACKBRIAR!! go far and reach the SKY full of glory and success PURE MAGIC FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOLD

[@mirologl]

Лучшие 😊❤

[@liceAftimus]

You have the same quality as Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation, all bands with about 30 years of existence, this is amazing!

[@neils123]

Sadly I couldn't make the premiere due to work, but listening now... this is great. Really different from anything I've heard from you before while still being Blackbriar. Can't wait to listen to the whole album!

[@EsmeraldaMarieCullen]

I'm excited! Can't wait!

[@Atlantis11111]

OMG!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️

[@travelwithmeG.G]

I am simply impressed! In the middle of 2023, it is difficult to find a contemporary work of art like this! 💖

[@Hffhjjhh]

I love the mostions Zora makes. I like the face she makes for "be careful what you wish for deary." She is a good actor and performer. Im guessing her hand morions and presence are inspired by Kate Bush since she admires her. Also, I LOVE the spining/dancing near the end while all the band members are jamming out.

[@PW_Thorn]

I also noticed Zora's "spinning - dancing", I find it so cute because my 2 daughters do all the same for trying if the dress is spinning okay for them 😊

[@ЕрофейГромов]

Замечательно!

[@PW_Thorn]

Whaaaaat? Are you kidding me? another music video! 😯😲😮🥲🥹😍... and the day after: Album's release + concert (my ticket is ready!) Where is the hidden camera? What's the day, today? Is it April's first?

[@anastasiabiersack6206]

Javai tellement hâte d'être en ce jour 🖤🤘🏻 ce groupe ma ensorcelée et j'adore

[@taylorreynolds5375]

Absolutely loved this song. Thank you

[@rnowak85]

So , so beautiful. I love it. Can't wait to get my album!

[@DieGotick95]

Its such an addictive song. I have heard it since the release

[@chibichestnut]

OBSESSED.

[@soulphoenix13]

Beautiful song. The vocals are so smooth yet emotional, and the layers/ tones blend so well. . .That guitar tone at 2:40 is pure gold. It's mesmerizing. It's the kind of song that resonates and haunts you until you hear it again.

[@utivxz]

i'm in love with this album

[@confinados1253]

Un saludo muy especial desde Medellín Colombia blackbriar la mejor

[@frigorpasto8124]

Zora is soooo beatifull and her voice is soooo enchhanting and amazing

[@pascualfernandez3533]

STUNNING

[@goglutinlavoie4391]

This band deserve way more success.

[@Lotusisrael]

Blackbriar is the leading gothic metal band in the world. Dare to contradict me.

[@PW_Thorn]

Please let me add that if anyone find something bad in Blackbriar's whole discography, I leave here my personal phone number so that I can explain why it's wrong : 1234567890. 😂

[@theclumsyprepper]

Nightwish, when Tarja was with them, was so much better. No-one can beat Tarja's voice.

[@isabeaublea8008]

I love this! This is my new favorite! Buying this album!

[@Enzo6115]

I LOVED! BLACKBRIAR, YOU'RE THE MOST FANTASTICAL BAND I'VE EVER KNOW

[@denisdyadin6436]

обожаю

[@edgarsefeja1306]

I am making a lecture on memory right now, so this is superb timing. Huge thanks! Love Greek mythology inspired lyrics!
