 One day in the year of the fox

Came a time remembered well

When the strong young man

Of the rising sun heard the

Tolling of the great black bell

(bass)

One day in the year of the fox when the

Bell began to ring, it meant the

Time had come for the one to go to the

Temple of the King

There in the middle of the circle, he stands

Searching, Seeking,

With just one touch of his trembling hand

The answer will be found

Daylight waits while the old man sings

Heaven, help me,

Just like a rush of thousand wings

It shines upon the One

And the day has just begun

[Instrumental]

Seeing, feeling

Just a wave of the strong right hand

He's gone, to the

Temple of the King

Far from the circle of the edge of the world

He's hoping, wondering

Thinking back of the stories he's heard

what he's going to see

There in the middle of the circle he lies

Heaven, help me

All could see by the shine in his eyes

The answer has been found

Back with the people in the circle he stands

Giving, feeling

With just one touch of the strong right hand they know

Of the Temple and the King

[Instrumental]
