I’d Rather Burn Lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------
Verse:
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

Pin the comment so it isn't lost! Btw I love you guys 😢
Love the song!! It sounds beautiful 😊
I love the song! Amazing job ❤️I'm such a big fan lol. I sound cheesy but I love you guys so much!! ❤️
TIME TO STREAM IT A THOUSAND TIMES ON SPOTIFY
I loveeeeee the whole EP!!! I listened to it at work, the whole day aaaaaaah its so simply awesome. Arms of the ocean and Let me in are my favorites! Great work from all of you. I'm very proud to see my name on the wall of backers
I love that this whole song is the witch's curse.
All of their songs are.
Although i prefer terms as incantations or blessings, rather than curse. ;)
@@lazaruslong697 Well, us witches are capable of curses and hexes as well, so it works!
The fact you believe anyone is innocent is the curse. Human ego knows no bounds.
What do you mean?
I have no idea why youtube recommended this to me, but it speaks to my inner emo teen and I'm here for it
Edit: to everyone wanting to comment on this saying it's not emo, it's goth, or thinking by this comment I'm appropriating emo/goth culture: this is just a nostalgic comment about how this reminds me of the music I loved as a teen. That's it, don't try and analyze it, that's all it is. Thanks
EMO FOR LIFE! hhaha
Yes!
Same, but to my inner witch. 😁✨♥️💪 She's slowly waking up, and rising.
@@blancagalher9104 it's more like she's been wide awake the whole time waiting for you to wake up and find her XD
@@SoLaurexia well then in that case, I'm waking up and I'm taking all my power back! 😁♥️✨
Honestly only a handful of artists do their research into the witchy occult and esoteric imagery they try to depict in their music and she’s one of the small handful of bands who actually do their research. Good job. And I give you props for putting the spirit at the top of the pentagram where it belongs. I also give you props for not turning witchcraft into a Harry Potter’esk depiction. And further props for not overly modernizing traditional witchcraft. The dress on the singer is relatively time accurate for the only part of the world who’s ever actually burned witches at the stake. So props to you on that as well.
Couldn't say it better myself....
That's a Halloween costume 🤡
"They taught us to fear the 'witches'
instead of those that murdered them."
saw this online somewhere and deeply resounded with me.
So true
"We're not the daughters of the survivors we're the ones you burned and we remember " that's my favorite to compliment yours
Well, they kinda make pacts with the devils and sacrifice children😅 so they're definitely NOT good people.
@@aliaramla9809 tell me you dont know what witches are without telling me cuz no we dont
@@FarontheSpirit you're not the sort of "witches" people used to burn. You're a neopagan who believes in a 20th Century new age religion or a revival tradition. The original term wasn't even witch, that's just one translation, it was "necromancers."
She pulls that evil glare off so well, makes her a true witch in this video
Thank you so much for the compliment, Richárd!
She has the most beautiful haunting brown eyes.
Thank you for your lovely words Veronica!
Just as the witch said, they may have burned her body, but her spirit and the spirit of witchcraft itself persisted. Now today we see the return, of paganism and witchcraft rising from the stake. Love the song! Blessed be!
BLESSED BE!!!
Throughout every corner of the world, there are a lot of us out there...whether it be Wicca, Pantheism, Asatru, Romuva...etc.
@@sanjuro66 Yep, and every year there's more of us! The Old Gods are back in the light after a millenia of darkness and oppression.
How foolish you shall feel when Christ returns as he has already defeated death
@@alexandraelliott8626"Foolish" we shall not feel, but impressed actually. Did you go out of your way to troll on this song?
This song makes me feel like a powerful witch
That's amazing to hear!!!
Great work! That was awesome, perfect for the dark month
Thank you so much, Peter!!!
Great song, I really enjoyed the “witchy” and medieval aesthetic of it, and the sound is very unique and beautiful. This is truly a great and very original band.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Meara!!!
RUclips algorithms introducing me good stuff today !
Gothic metal is back!
I started with Until Eternity and now i can't stop listening to this band
same !
That's incredible to hear!!! Thank you so much
It looks like she's casting a spell by singing this to ensure that she lives again. I can imagine real witches doing this on the walk to their deaths.
I was thinking same Its possible many did so
She doesn't need a spell to live again ?
I love you
Bruh I wonder what y'all think witchcraft it's like because this ain't it
@@13gudadod are you mad? Lol I know that witchcraft doesn't actually look like this. But the keyword was "imagine". People will find a problem with everything.
Playing with some really powerful themes and lyrics here:
"I will cause such pain with my fragile lady brain."
Zora's movements, expressions, and words are so powerful here, and the instrumentals perfectly synchronize with her vocals to create a really impactful scene---you can practically feel the emotion and message here.
Just found Blackbriar today. Haven't had chills like this since I found nightwish.
Likewise; just discovered them with this video... amazing how you find such treasures when you're not even trying. ^^
This was also the first song of Blackbriar I happened to listen to and I immediately liked it and continued listening. It’s kinda haunting. Also what’s your favorite song by Nightwish?
@@bad_ideas_at_3_am209 You need to hear Last Ride of the Day if you haven't already.
@@projectlifedog1459 I already have. I think it's great.
Symphonic metal is one of the most beautifull genre of music.. really guys. This is trully the new calssic music and had the power of heavy metal!!
Thank you for your kind words Rach!! :D
that confidence and that wicked smile and eyes of revenge loved it
Thank you so much for the compliment!!!
I have no idea as to why the breadcrumbs I was following lead me here, but I'm ever so glad I found this. LOVE IT
I don't know if that even makes any sense but this is one of the rarest songs that go through my body and wander around my soul, I'm just in love with this masterpiece and so glad that we still have this kind of music in this soulless world.
I like the silent screaming curse at the end. VERY STRONG MAGIC there.
Thank you :D it worked haha
My teacher: Do u wanna do your presentation first?
Me : I’d rather burn
Teacher: please step in front of the class and do your presentation
You: I'd rather burn at the stake
Teacher: this is not a game your grades will be affected if you don't comply
You: I'll show that I'm capable of causing such pain
Teacher: 911? Yes we have an emergency
It's unfortunate this kind of music isn't a big hit over here in North America. A Select few enjoy it.
That's cause late millennials and gen Z are killing or ears with crappy pop and mumble rap.
I personally love rap. But I couldn't agree more. Mumble rap drives me up the wall 😆 I go crazy hearing it.
We are happy that you like it, Adam!
@@nicholeponiewaz5591 me being Gen Z and a goth: 🙁
I'm from North America & I watch them! There amazing love them!🔥
I'm so mesmerised by this song. I've lost count at the number of times i have listened to it.
Same
"I wont let you take my soul away, I'd rather go to the stake"
I believe she'd rather die than let people try to change her or control her. That might be the context. Hence why it appears medieval, people back then did nothing but try to control women and take away their humanity and freedom to be themselves.
2:43
Correction: SomeONE was trying to do the things listed above. But due to her resistance they might have framed her and tried to get her killed. So instead of letting them win and rule her, she would rather go to the stake than change.
but also important to note: They burned witch alive, as we can see by the smoke starting to rise about that ime you tagged there. Commonly, a Witch would have been strangled to death before setting the pyre aflame. (Nobody wants to hear those screams, not even the inquisition)
The Most Beautiful Witch I've Ever Seen 😊😍
Thank you for your kind words Sister!
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

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
😮😮I found it by accident. Music of the heart ❤❤❤❤Blackbriar is my favorite🤩
youtube recommendations been on point lately
Yeah and they were a bit late
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much
Always.
Man the lead singers voice is both incredibly haunting and simultaneously has so much power behind it, makes for such an awesome and unique sound
Wow! Thank you so much for the compliment, that's incredible to hear!
I had never even heard of of gothic rock or anything of the sort before today, but I came across the video for Snow White and Rose Red and now I’m hooked on this band. I’ve already added several songs to my playlist and will probably add more.
If you want some more gothic rock/metal, here are some good bands.
-Type O Negative
-Theatre Of Tragedy
-Nightwish
-Lacuna Coil
-Anathema
-My Dying Bride
-Draconian
-Funeral
-Evanescence
-The Birthday Massacre
-Nine Inch Nails
Thank you so much for adding our songs to your playlist, Jesse! It means everything to us!
If the Salem Witches had a theme, this would be it.
Yes! I was thinking that it goes well with Little Hope which is about the Salam witch trials. 😁
@@Phoenix_rising19 little hope was awesome
I wish it came out when Salem was starting so many good songs they could have added atleast at the end.
@@victoryprjct not true . My family is from the witch trails and some of my family were killed for being a witch . Not all were witches but some were.
I literally stumbled onto this one, and I am so happy I clicked on it! This is wonderfully done, the costumes, the way it is shot, and those slow pans especially as she ascends to the stake and screams I felt were very powerful. And of course that dark sound....yes, I love that too! Reminds me of another band I love to pieces, Within Temptation. Rock on, guys! 🤘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤘
I like that searing look in her eyes, that can pierce metal.
Makes wanna dance in the woods under a full moon 🔮💅🌚
"I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain, with my delicate and fragile lady brain"
Just finished Frankenstein, and that seems like what Mary Shelley had to be thinking XD
This was the first video I had ever seen of Blackbriar. This popped up completely random in my RUclips and my life hasn't been the same since. Zora's voice gets in your head and settles in your soul.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
I've literally never heard a more addictive voice in my life! Oh man..... this song makes me feel powerful;..
Wow! Thank you so much for the compliment, Debbie
I was accidentally'd across Blackbriar just a few weeks ago by some friends and I simply can't stop listening, love your stuff, haunting, enchanting, beautiful
Wow! That's incredible to hear, thank you so much for your message
Big respect for whoever filmed it in a way that managed to hide how much shorter Zora is than the guys
It's all about angle pull back and depth makes us think that she is taller. Which is really cool love the cinematography on this!
Hahaha! Well, thank you for the compliment!!
You may have burned us but we will rise again and raise our voices for those who cant. Blessed Be
Blessed be
As a Christian, I love this song. I’m so glad this song popped up on my Spotify. I also wanna say to all y’all that no matter what you believe in, you should be supported and loved rather than persecuted and hated. I’m sorry that more than often y’all aren’t treated as y’all should be.
Makes me think of past lives and the pain people have gone through. A very deep song.
Thank you so much, Madeline
I can't stop watching Blackbriar videos now.
That's amazing to hear, thank you!!!
@@blackbriarmusic Love from Arizona!
This is indeed a witch-song.
It entchanted me - I can't listen enough to it.
Beautyful cinematography, awesome voice, just pure beauty :D
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, Suu!!!
Her voice is truly beautiful
Oop shout out to my fellow witches who watched this and immediately thought about the Salem witch trials
Salem witch trails didnt involve burning at the stake, youre thinking of the European witch trials.
Absinthe Minded either way they were often bound or restrained in some way, I wasn’t talking about the burning part
Absinthe Minded yeah but we european basicly burned everything they saw as heresy.
Myself and several of my fellow witches love this and appreciate the representation.
Thank you so much, Pele Michelle
It's almost like I can HEAR the scream she does when they're tying her to the stake. That's how amazing the acting in this video is! I love this band
I am very happy to discover this group
Thank you Tuğba
This song brings such a stirring to my faith, I'll not denounce! Blessed be, so mote it be.
Are you wiccan??? :)))
@@laurenlopez8996 yes, Eclectic Pagan Wicca Gray witch, at your service, ma'am.
I felt the same thing 😍😍
*Eclectic stupid auto correct
A reincarnation of one of our ancient sisters! ❤️
Her voice is absolutely heavenly, love her music
A heavenly voice singing about burning at the stake , oxymoron .
Thank you so much for your kind words
someone:* asks me if I would get back with my ex*
Me:*plays this song*
😂
I love the way she says "burn"
Thanks again Abi! :)
@@blackbriarmusic
Truly an anthem for every witch, black magician, heretic, and practitioner of the art. Much respect and much love.
I just realized they done chained her in an inverted pentagram pattern ⛧. Amazing
They are definitely something fresh in metal and I love that!
Thank you so much for the compliment, it means a lot to us!!!
Blessed be.🖤🖤🖤
@Honest Mark Merry meet fine and you?
This is the only curse that are given to those who fear what they do not understand, nor do they comprehend the true nature that is around them.
Such potent imagery and a hauntingly beautiful song. Such talent and musical purity!
I freaking love this song. Can't stop listening to it.
Wow! Thank you so much, it means a lot to us!!!
She's witchy.....Love that for her ......also WOW I got goosebumps 🤤such a beautiful voice !
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to us!!!
@@blackbriarmusic I hope you get all the attention you deserve ,cause really you guys are amazing !!!😊✌️❤️
I really love this song.
Is a really powerful song, with amazing vocals and amazing lyrics.
With Blackbriar all is better.🖤
I can't get enoungh of her voice - there is something uniquely captivating about it..
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words
That chorus is soooo ritualistic like muah
She is just so hauntingly beautiful.
This has to be my favorite song... the lyrics, music and feel of the music ..mesh so well. It sounds like something out of a movie.
All of her other music is beautiful trust me. There are songs with killer vocals of hers. But this song ...the whole peice is amazing.
That's amazing to hear
This is why it's a good idea to always have an extra Dimension Door prepared.
...the beginning takes me back to seeing my past life,I can still feel the heat around my legs and the wet tears running down my cheeks
I hope you know no witches were burned during the actual witch trials...they burned and hung nuns and normal girls to scare women away from witchcraft. I learned this from my witch teacher so, maybe you’re joking instead.
@@bxn7535 If you mean the 'Salem Witch Trials' by the actual witch trials, then yes, that's true! But during the witch trials in Europe, "witches" were indeed burned at the stake.
This band has rekindled my love for this kind of music 🖤
Wow! Thank you
am i the only one who sees Esmeralda from the hunchback of notre dame while listening to this?
Leave the fellow witch alone! I luv it
I found this on Christmas 2020 now am addicted to this. You have the best voice
That's amazing to hear!! Thank you so much, Hrithu!!
@@blackbriarmusic I'm really happy that you replied. Happy 2021😀
Oh my god. Oh my god! Why, why is it so beautiful? Love this song so much
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, Heike!!!
Heart breaking and uplifting at the same time. Musical genius.
Thank you so much
I saw the thumbnail and title and clicked immediately. Being a witch, bands like Blackbriar and Blackmore's Night are awesome at portraying the mystical and enchanting. Rock on, and Blessed Be.
Another witch 🖤
@@Natalia-zi3xu Indeed, Pagan to be exact. Blessed be, sister. :)
@@toffeetheraccoon Eclectic witch 🌙 Thanks, same here sister 😌🖤
Don't mind me, just a Vampyr passing by.
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for your message
“Nice tune, been a while since I heard it last.”

Adorján Sári ahaha I knew there would be a Witcher fan here eventually
I'm in love with Blackbriar and I'm not turning back.
As a descendant of a man who was accused of heresy by Philip IV of France, I approve this song.
I've buried my emo a few years ago. It crawled back out and a few days later this is on my recommendations. I LOVE IT
We're happy that you like it! Thank you, Suus!
It’s so simple. I love it.
Thank you for your kind words!!
I heard this yesterday and spent all day today trying to find it again. Awesome.
That's incredible to hear, Joseph
I just discovered this band today. I'm not going to hesitate buying this album.
Yep! Totally resonate with her stubborn heart 🔥❤️🔥🔥
I love the witchy vibes y'all's music gives 😁 I love all the music y'all make!
We are so happy that you like it! Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to us!!!
She ate and left no crumbs
A very beautiful singer, and she has a very pleasant voice
Gracias bar por darnos a conocer está preciosidad
Digo lo mismo xd
I have to say this; zora looks amazing in this video, and I also love the guitar and drums in the song
Thank you so much for your kind words
Why did I just find your channel now?!
Why didn't I find it before?
It's great! I love your songs 💙
We are happy that you found us!
Gracias Bar Martínez por hacernos conocer esta joyita ♥️
Digo lo mismo xd
something in your voice is addicting.
Wow! Thank you so much for the compliment
I love the music so much...but I CANNOT be the only one thinking it would awesome for a creepy lullaby vibe.
I literally hummed it to my little brother to sleep, I'm... yeah. :>
Creepy lullaby sounds amazing, thank you for the compliment
I just love it so much! a year later and idk the witchery at its finest and strong femininity is just beautiful!
Thank you so much, Taylor!!!!
Learning this on guitar was an epic sunday for sure
This is still so magical. Blackbriar are extremly unique and amazing.
if this doesn't play at my funeral. I'm not dying
This literally resonates with my soul and my disdain of modern religions.
What is exactly a "modern religion" ?
I'm pretty sure that aside from small cults the most recent religion is older than every nation existing today.
Everything about her is beautiful..that voice!
Thank you so much for your kind words
