-The Star Of The East-

                                        Immutable they shine
                                          On protective wings
                                             hovering angels
                                         in a sparkling shower
                                              The brightness
                                            streams unlimited
                                                  without
                                                  a sound

                                          Man needs strength,
                                            hope and courage
                                           Even with all wisdom, 
                                                    power
                                         and earthly eloquence

                                          Our doubting world
                                           where evil crosses
                                               the threshold
                                                Don't forget
                                           the star of the east
                                             in a barren place

                                              The essence
                                          of all that ever was
                                     is and remains unchanged
                                       Receive the ebony keys
                                           to the door of love
