Benzai-ten lyrics

When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies

And the twilight fills the air

You can see the snow on the mountaintops

Through the veil of old Japan'

On an island lead by all the ancient ways

Just a million miles from here

And yet it seems like only yesterday

That her song rang out so clear

Sister of the seas

Wrapped in silken robes

Waves are falling at her feet

Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king,

Winds are calling out your name

And the times ran fast, further from that place

But somehow we are still here

You can hear her song calling on the waves

Through the veil of old Japan'

Sister of the seas

Wrapped in silken robes

Waves are falling at her feet

Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king,

Winds are calling out your name

When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies

And the twilight fills the air

You can see the snow on the mountaintops

Through the veil of old Japan'.

Through the veil of old Japan will appear our Benzai-ten
