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
