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

One day in the year of the fox

When the bell began to ring

Meant the time had cometh

For 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

And then like the rush of a thousand wings

It shines upon the one

And the day had just begun

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

One day in the year of the fox

When the bell began to sing

It meant the time had cometh

For one to go

To the temple of the king

There in the middle of the people

He stands

Seeing, feeling

With just a wave of a strong right hand

He's gone

To the temple of the king

Far from the circle at the edge of the world

He's hoping, wondering

Thinking back from the stories he's heard

Of what he's going to see

There in middle of the circle it lies

Heaven help me

Then all could see by the shine in his eyes

The answer had been found

Back with the people in the circle

He stands

Giving, feeling

With just one touch of a strong right hand

They know

Of the temple and the king
