“Learn from the past, never live in it…”
For those who haven’t checked out The Black Opera’s highly creative album Libretto: Of King Legend, here’s the latest single entitled “The Black Lair.” The song focuses on the power (and danger) of perception. Is truth relative or absolute? The Black Opera explains the track further in their own words below. If you like what you hear, support the duo by purchasing the album HERE.
If perception is king, what is deception? We all know looks can be deceiving, so can space and time if there is no beginning or ending. The Black Opera speaks to this fact and challenges the listener with “Black Lair”. When people talk history, many stories can combine and collide over time to make up what is determined to be “true”. Some stories travel thousands of miles and hundreds of years before they reach the ear. Once they do, it’s up to that audience to decide what’s real to them. “Black Lair” is an homage to how powerful, and in some cases how weak the mind can be. It’s up to you to determine which side of history you fall on.
