Urums
Urums, singular Urum (Greek: Ουρούμ Urúm, Turkish and Crimean Tatar: Urum, IPA: [uˈɾum]) is a broad historical term that was used by some Turkic-speaking peoples (Turks, Crimean Tatars) to define Greeks who lived in Muslim states, particularly in the Ottoman Empire and Crimea. In contemporary ethnography, the term Urum (or Urum Greek) applies only to Turkic-speaking Greek populations.
Ethnonym
The term Urum is derived from the Arabic word رُّومُ (rūm), meaning Roman and subsequently Byzantine and Greek (see: Rûm). Since words beginning in [r] were not typical for Turkic languages, earlier speakers would add an extra vowel in order to facilitate the pronunciation. In modern Turkish, the Urum spelling, despite being still used by some, is considered obsolete and is replaced by the spelling Rum.
The term is used by the following sub-ethnic groups of Greeks as a way of ethnic self-identification:

Penta Imperium (sick Funeral Version)
by: Aura HiemisWelcome to, my dark empire
Is full of things, even twisted
You will find, a world without queen
It could be cold, but is part of me
With my blood, I´ll show all this
Come to see, if you like you can stay
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking
Come to see, you will find everything
Just feel the pain, is like the one that you bring
We can create, a world full of peace
It could be dark, but you like that
Here is no time, is all for us
Is full of hate, to help us to keep on moving
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking.
In the dark
Shine the light
Just open your mind
You could find (all you want)
If we trust
We can be
We can live
We can die together
Come to this
Is my life
But could be
Our life
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
