In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes

On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes

Ah-ah-ah

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I′m a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I′m a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)
(I'm not a gangstar)

I can′t answer why (I′m a blackstar)
Just go with me (I'm not a filmstar)
I′ma take you home (I'm a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I′m not a popstar)

And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar)
You′re a flash in the pan (I'm not a Marvel star)
I'm the Great I Am (I′m a blackstar)

I′m a blackstar, way up, on money, I've got game
I see right, so wide, so open-hearted pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I′m a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I′m a blackstar, I'm a star′s star, I'm a blackstar)

I can't answer why (I′m not a gangstar)
But I can tell you how (I′m not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (I'm a star′s star)
Born the wrong way 'round (I′m not a white star)

I'm a blackstar (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I′m not a gangstar, I'm a blackstar
I'm a blackstar (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I′m not a pornstar, I′m not a wandering star
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm a blackstar, I′m a blackstar

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes

On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
