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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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
