Black Sail (song)
During their first concert of the new decade in 2020
on March 7th at the Manchester Albert Hall,
The Sisters of Mercy introduced a second new song
to the audience titled Black Sail.
It was introduced with the remark that
"This one's gonna be a bit weird
... we haven't yet figured it out."
Our thanks go to Ingo Wennemaring for this video
of the very first performance of this song.
Lyrics
- Please see also the official Live News Page below the tour dates. -
And in a gap between the stars.
There is no captain till you do.
We threw a line; we did not deep it.
They were many, we are few.
I keep my fireworks on the bridge.
Hurl the crew from side to side.
Unfurl the sail, the world is wide.
They were many, we are few.
Heave away, heave away, boys.
That's what you do.
Heave away, heave away, boys.
They were many, we are few.
