Black Sails - Weesp

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
