[Verse 1]
The teacher of truth told tales of troubled times that would begin
And the cynical sower sowed the sorrowful seeds of seven sins
The people placed a price upon the prince of perfect peace
And the one who wooed the world was wounded
Look unto the east

[Verse 2]
The morning moved in mournfully with many moments marred
By brawny beast who beat the beauty bound and bit and barred
They laid the lash upon him low, His lips moved not the least
Watch him come from where he did go
Look unto the east

[Verse 3]
The devil drew his darts and the dearest dove came dropping down
But the spirit slips in soft and sweetly unseen with no sound
The comforter, the counselor with us 'til time is ceased
And the groom will return for his bride
Look unto the east
