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 for the oldman's scream
Heaven, help me,
Just like a rush of thousand wings
It shines upon the world
And the day has just begun

Just one touch of the strong right hand
He's gone, to the

Far from the circle of the edge of the world
He's smoking, wandering
Thinking back of the stories he's told
Before he's gonna 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
Seeing, feeling
With just one touch of the strong right hand they know
Of the Temple and the King
