Lyrics for Black Star
Black star, jewel of the night Black star, burning bright Magnificent sun, a beacon burning Five pointed coal, a guide eternal Black star, five pointed coal Black star, the cosmic soul Shining opaque, celestial furnace Glittering dark, a sun in mourning Black star, where light never shines Black star won't you be my guide? A dead sun for where the light never shines Shine on! Twinkle, twinkle black star Shine on! Black star, darken the skies Forever burn, never to die An ebony flame, a sun infernal Nemesis of the night, my own dark angel Black star, jewel of the night Black star, so cruel, so bright A glorious sun, with warmth so healing Glittering dark, a sun in mourning Black star, where light never shines Black star won't you be my guide? A dead sun for where the light never shines Shine on! Twinkle, twinkle black star Shine on black star!
