In the village of Ormen, in the village of Ormen*
There’s a solitary candle
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes
On the day of the execution, on the day of the execution
Only the women kneel and smile
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
In the village of Ormen, in the village of Ormen*
There’s a solitary candle
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
Something happened on the day he died
The spirit rose a meter and stepped aside
Someone else took his place, and boldly shouted
(I’m a Black Star, I’m a Black Star)
How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of speaking trying to trick you?
He tread on hallowed ground, he shouted loudly in the crowd
(I’m a Black Star, a Black Star, I’m not a gangstar)
I can’t answer because (I’m a Black Star)
Follow me (I’m not a movie star)
I’ll take you home (I’m a Black Star)
Grab your passport and your shoes (I’m not a pop star)
And your sedatives, darling (I’m a Black Star)
You’re just a flash in the pan (I’m not a star to admire)
I’m the great, I’m (I’m a Black Star)
I’m the Black Star, I’m rising, on the money, I know the game
I see clearly and widely the sincere suffering
In my wildest dreams, I wish for eagles, diamonds in my eyes
(I’m a Black Star, I’m a Black Star)
Something happened on the day he died
The spirit rose a meter and stepped aside
Someone else took his place, and boldly shouted
(I’m a Black Star, I’m the star of a star, I’m a Black Star)
I can’t answer because (I’m not a gangstar)
but I can tell you why (I’m not a movie star)
we were born upside down (I’m the star of a star)
we were born the wrong way (I’m not a white star)
(I’m a Black Star, I’m not a gangstar
I’m a Black Star, I’m a Black Star
I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star
I’m a Black Star, I’m a Black Star)
In the village of Ormen* there’s a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, your eyes
On the day of the execution, only the women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Black star
