Blackmore’s Night - 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
