Who We Are 05:52
lyrics

We tasted death We drank up life We fell in love once Time ran through our hands Stumbling over A wandering dog We seem so alike What have we become Spill more acid over fresh minds Erase, restart And dive into the light Becoming real We're staring at the sun We are who we are We’re just staring at the sun Forever who we are We drank up life We haven't got wise Consumed emptiness Filled ourselves with it I can remember myself before Eager to feel, to touch everything As if life was on the end of my fingertips This endless hustle, a rat run Trying to seem like somebody else, Trying do something that will be appreciated As if it actually matters After all, the only thing important Is who you are And that’s it Being somebody I think it’s the only way to be really free. For me, it’s just being The one who is Staring at the sun. _________________________________________

Red Neon Glow 04:16

There's a devil locked behind the door Drunk again he shouts my name and threats He's swearing, barfing on the floor White lions are prepared to leap Tell me that’s all right Remind me who I am Because I should face the guilt And dive into the mud once more Scratch the surface with the claws Familiar sounds of howls and knocks and kicks The barrels are likely to explode White lions are prepared to leap Deal me in Dissipated and fickle The city is mine We will paint red, paint night red Red neon glow The dreams of The ashes I know we're alike We will paint red, paint night red Red neon glow __________________________________________

Monsters 04:00

Sounds scorching Prickled skin Familiar сhill Sounds of darkness Out from the past Under the bed Can you feel the monsters coming One glance behind the veil I’m on a roll I saw the monsters Shaking my hand Stabbed me in the back So here is your terror Hello again Old friend of mine And who will count and name the price And who will roll the dice They keep taking more than they gave I know what I saw Can you feel the monsters coming One glance behind the veil I’m on a roll I’m on a roll tonight You have pushed me to the edge Released the monsters from the cage The machine is never fed enough Breaking in Craving flesh Is this is what you want You have pushed me to the edge And you needed me to change _____________

Not Over 05:14

Then something hits Frenzied at the ribs From inside Tearing me apart As if the world Gone wild All I left behind Burning my heels I am the one One responsible Upgrade available It’s such a thin line The line turns into A point of no return This game My game is still not over So confident and sharp Like a razor As if you have control As if you had control ever So confident and sharp Pull me into darkness Turn off the control And fade Devoured by the shadows Deeper into darkness Оut of the control I'll get up from my knees And pounce on a throat This fight My fight is still not over So confident and sharp Like a razor As if you have control As if you had control ever So confident and sharp _________________________________________________

Strike me with the lightning The old song, these sour times Help me recover Or let me die in your arms Yes you're so cute doll Slowly strip, don't speak Stars will fall all night long Let's pretend we’re alive We're not the first ones Learn to breath and smile again I said you are my New star Yes you're so cute doll Slowly strip, don't speak Stars will fall all night long Let's pretend we’re alive Roads, hotels the future and the past I’ll keep you there On the inner side of the eyelids _____________________________________________________

The Stream 03:26
lyrics

The Stream Your moves are whispering Your skin, shape, trace of your scent And hesitating you're looking back We rock the boat As the stream grows So gorgeous you’re shivering We don't have to say a word I know what you're about to think I hold your wrist I read your pulse And the universe shrinks The sense of falling wakes our scars I know you feel like more as I do Upturning the boat As the stream grows And I read your wrist I can feel under your skin I won’t leave you here Where I end and you begin Let us break through all that we should crawl through Because if it can die it will die anyway Stabbed between the ribs under the rain we’ll love that We’ll rock the boat as the stream goes wild And if we ever have to regret this night Let us make it worth the regret And let the sun catch us so far away Dead or alive, gone with the stream _____________________________________

Illumination 04:24
lyrics

The kiss of fortune Right in the eye So blessed and gifted Acceleration The audience goes wild Crying in rapture Kissed by fortune I'm falling down Down down down We're just like fire Wings for a dreamer Alive, falling down Just like fire We are just like fire Hold on tight Hold on closer We came to this world To learn all songs To read all of the books Torn by the crowd and left for the crows Left by the crows and trampled by the crowd She said run Run from this place, run till you fall Down from the cliff pure and unbound And never look back, the world is on fire We are just like fire Hold on tight Hold on closer We came to this world To learn all songs To read all of the books

Black Sails 05:38

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

After Us 04:29
lyrics

Gather all the scraps and headlines sort them put them in a box As night will seal up doors with frozen locks Another day passed by And if the universe is endless somewhere out there are other us There's a place where all had happened not despite But naturally and right I ran away to stay awake The space-time behind seems to disappear I follow a trail of crumbs left by the ones lost in the dark before The warning signs flew by, the line to cross Is somewhere out there Don’t you dream to escape to get a breath Ahead, losing sense Ahead, across the fence Ahead, what have we left And the thunder of drums As the red smoke lifts In the middle of spotlight Don’t you dream to escape to get a breath Ahead, losing sense Ahead, across the fence Ahead, what have we left

about

Second studio album by alternative post-metal band Weesp from Minsk

Dynamic, diverse and wholesome Black Sails album is a 40-minute trip that consists of 9 tracks and is full of heavy riffing, melodic ballads, anger, pain and hope. The album sounds much heavier in both music and lyrical sense but at the same time, it preserves the same bright emotional message that’s typical for Weesp.

“Who We Are” track opens the album with a bit of reflective mood but explodes with heavy and recognizable riffing tight away and the album keeps pounding with furious “Red Neon Glow” and high-voltage “Not Over” that combine overloaded guitars with groovy drumming beats. Lyrical but still powerful “Roads, Hotels” and “After Us” are full of melancholy that hides strength and are full of dreaminess that leads to actions.

Even though the album lyrics is not in the form of a story but rather reflects emotions and visions, it still has clear and concise meaning that pierces through whole Black Sails album. The theme of complicated choice and thorny path of a person that does not fit in “normal” world and for whom “normal” society values are not enough can be heard clearly in anxious “Monsters”, sincere “Illumination” and epic “Who We Are”. Social problems, while not being in the center of the lyrics, can still be recognized in the background in each track from the album. What’s interesting is the fact that Weesp does not blame society for one’s fate and mental state but on the opposite, the band encourages its listeners to act, believe, struggle and find own way. Black Sails is an album about staying true despite anything.

Closer to the end of the album, the main track “Black Sails” is swinging on the waves of dramatic accords that steadily transform into the storm of the whole human life. In this song Weesp sums up with the line: “Don’t let the world break you, and you will change it one day” – which, despite the whole dramatic sounds, makes the album surprisingly motivational and reassuring.

Guys from Weesp say that Black Sails embodies all their listeners, like-minded people and all those who stand out, dream, love and believe.

We are inviting you to join the Black Sails team, stand under black sails and together with the band start a new, emotional, at times challenging but always exciting adventure.
