Sail Into the Black Lyrics
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
And all those secrets
Lost in your eyes
And all those regrets
You hold inside
And all those memories
Left by design
And all those mysteries
Lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
And all those footsteps
Washed in the tides
And all those droplets
Blood into wine
And all those heartaches
Tears that you've cried
And all those mistakes
Washed in the tides
Washed in the tides
We sail into the Black
We sail into the Black
(I stare at the stricken)
(The fall of man)
(And the horror is living in your eyes)
(And once were forgiven)
(The mind explodes in waves of terror)
Burn my eyes
Tear at the skin
The crawling beneath will begin
Side by side
Pounding the heretic drums as we rise or we fall
And all these scars
The nightmare it calls
The fear and betrayal begin
We've come so far
The shit we ingest with a mouthful of spit and protest
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
The black candle fades
Go disappear
Lost and forever broken
Shattered like glass
The scars and the sex
The lies and the fables we tell
And all we are
This fate is a choice
Regrets that you'll take to the grave
These threads of silk
That held this together
Rotting and curdled as milk
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
And all those secrets
Lost in your eyes
And all those regrets
You hold inside
And all those memories
Left by design
And all those mysteries
Lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
And all those footsteps
Washed in the tides
And all those droplets
Blood into wine
And all those heartaches
Tears that you've cried
And all those mistakes
Washed in the tides
Washed in the tides
We sail into the Black
We sail into the Black
(The fall of man)
(And the horror is living in your eyes)
(And once were forgiven)
(The mind explodes in waves of terror)
Tear at the skin
The crawling beneath will begin
Side by side
Pounding the heretic drums as we rise or we fall
And all these scars
The nightmare it calls
The fear and betrayal begin
We've come so far
The shit we ingest with a mouthful of spit and protest
We sail into the black
Go disappear
Lost and forever broken
Shattered like glass
The scars and the sex
The lies and the fables we tell
And all we are
This fate is a choice
Regrets that you'll take to the grave
These threads of silk
That held this together
Rotting and curdled as milk
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
We sail into the black
To me the "black" is your own depression. That is we spend a life "fighting" this and that, all of which is a fight to escape from the "blackness" (what makes us unhappy etc.)
In other words life is hard, and we need to keep going (sailing) even if it is dark!
Love the manner and tone that "we sail into the black" is sung!
