Temple Of The King (Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow 1975)
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, 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! Then like the rush of a thousand wings, It shines upon the one, When the day has just begun...

One day in the year of the fox, When the bell began to sing 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 got to see.
There, in the middle of a circle he lies, Heaven help me! All could see, by the shine in his eyes, The answer had been found, To 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 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
