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 cometh
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 had just begun
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 had cometh
For 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 going to see
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
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
