3. Black Star (3:29)
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
(lead)
Shine on...
Twinkle, twinkle black star
Shine on...
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
(lead)
Shine on...
Twinkle, twinkle black star
Shine on...
