The dark is groaning
The tomb is reaching out
Oh, but you can't have me
Oh, but you can't have me

The crows are circling
The jackal waits in the dark
Oh, but you can't have me
Oh, but you can't have me

I belong to the land of the rising sun
Where the grave is no more and the war has been won
I belong to the land of the rising sun
I belong to you, I belong

The world is in my bones
It makes me wrestle with you
Oh, but you have claimed me
Oh, but you have claimed me

No matter how far I've gone
Even to the devil's table
Oh, my God, you've claimed me
Oh, my God, you've claimed me

I belong to the land of the rising sun
Where the grave is no more and the war has been won
I belong to the land of the rising sun
I belong to you, I belong

I belong to the land of the rising sun
Where the grave is no more and the war has been won
I belong to the land of the rising sun
I belong to you, I belong

Through my wandering and my failing and my doubting, I belong
Through the fire and the darkness, through the sadness, I belong
I'm just a rebel, who's tired of fighting
So I'm laying down these arms
The sun is rising, the sun is rising, the sun is rising...

I belong to the land of the rising sun
Where the grave is no more and the war has been won
I belong to the land of rising sun
I belong to you, I belong

I belong to the land of the rising sun
Where the grave is no more and the war has been won
I belong to the land of the rising sun
I belong to you, I belong
I belong to you, I belong
I belong to you, I belong
