Black Star

(Album: Swansong - 1996)

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
