My friend Adria randomly introduced me to this band and I must say that I absolutly love how poetic the lyrics are (hence, my posting them in the poetry section). Here are the lyrics to the two songs she sent me:
Benzai Ten
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…

Midwinters Night
(1st part is in "Provencial French")
The bells are ringing
On Mid Winters Night
The moon sets all alone
And once again I try to sleep
before the morning light
Too soon the sun will come a-calling
over the hills in our little town
Too soon the snow will start falling
over the world without a sound
While in my room dreams are a-fleeting
I close my eyes one more time
All too quickly the dawn is breaking
and I must leave the night behind.
