One day in the year of the fox Came a time remembered well When the strong young man of the rising sun Won the tolling of the big black bell
One day in the year of the fox When the bell began to ring (sing) 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
There it lies and waits while the old man sings Heaven, help me And then like a rush of a thousand wings It shines upon the one And the day has just begun
There in the middle of people, he stands Seeing, feeling With just the wave of a strong right hand He's gone to the temple of the king
Far from the circle of the edge of the world He's hoping wondering Seeking back from the stories he's heard Of what he's going to see
And there in the middle of the circle it lies Heaven, help me But all could see by the shine in his eyes The answer has 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
