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

It 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

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 the 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 the middle of a 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
