Look to the East, my friend

Daylight comes too soon

Another step on your journey’s way

From the cradle to the tomb

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back – it all remains the same

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back when only hope remains

Steal a glance to the West, old man

That way lies the past

And a life that has run its course

From the first to the last

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back – it all remains the same

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back when only hope remains

Look inside your heart – it is black

Carrying the weight of your lies

Forgive your sins – release them all

Let your soul skyward fly.

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back – it all remains the same

Don’t look back at a life you can’t change

Don’t look back when only hope remains.
