The Temple of the King

One day in the year of the fox Came a time remembered well When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the toiling 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 has just begun, day has 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 toiling 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 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 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, temple and the king One day in the year of the fox Came a time remembered well When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the toiling of the great black bell
