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 come 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 come for
the 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
gonna 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
