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
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
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
(Iâm a blackstar, Iâm 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
(Iâm a blackstar, Iâm a blackstar, Iâm not a gangster)
I canât answer why (Iâm a blackstar)
Just go with me (Iâm not a filmstar)
Iâm-a take you home (Iâm a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (Iâm not a popstar)
And your sedatives, boo (Iâm a blackstar)
Youâre a flash in the pan (Iâm not a marvel star)
Iâm the great I am (Iâm a blackstar)
Iâm a blackstar, way up, oh honey, Iâve got game
I see right so white, so open-heart itâs pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(Iâm a blackstar, Iâm a blackstar)
Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(Iâm a blackstar, Iâm a star star, Iâm a blackstar)
I canât answer why (Iâm not a gangster)
But I can tell you how (Iâm not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (Iâm a star star)
Born the wrong way âround (Iâm not a white star)
(Iâm a blackstar, Iâm not a gangster
Iâm a blackstar, Iâm a blackstar
Iâm not a pornstar, Iâm not a wandering star
Iâm a blackstar, Iâm 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
