Lyrics Black Sails - Weesp

Black Sails

How do I know it’s still not dawn?
The dying candle’s evidence
Can I be sure that I’m alive
When it’s so quiet and dark
The separated world outside
You hunger just as I
Don’t have to fear the open sea
The only ones after all
We are black sails, we are coming
Rejected, outcasts, despised
Lean on the shoulders of those who still stand
Stand your ground, face common dreads
Don’t let the world break you, and you will change it some day
The devil paints the water black
He’ll turn our blood to wine once more
Could we have chosen different course
So far away from the shore
The separated world outside
You hunger just as I
And as the opium fog lifts
The shreds of mind recall
We are black sails, we are coming home…
I’ve got to get back — watch my back, expect the worst
None of them have actually been there
To witness — I recall life
I recall life
A slap in a face, a punch in the teeth
By the end of the day with hands full of mud
Leaving bright red trace I will get back
Now a minute of silence for those who didn’t make it
Rejected, outcasts, despised
Lean on the shoulders of those who still stand
Stand your ground, face common dreads
Don’t let the world break you, and you will change it some day
