One day in the year of the fox Came the time remembered well When a strong young man of the rising Sun with the tolling of the great bell One day in the year of the fox when the bell began to ring When the time had come of 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 oldman sings heaven help me And then like a rush of a thousand wing it shine upon the one And the day had just begun One day in the year of the fox came the time remembered well When the strong man of the rising sun Of the tolling of the great black bell One day in the year of the fox when the bell began to sing It when the time had come for one to go to the temple of the king There in the middle of people he stands seeing feeling With just the wave of his 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 Thinking back of the story he's heard of what he's going to see There in the middle of circle it lies heaven help me But all could see by the shining of his eyes the answer has been found Back to the people in the circle he stands hearing feeling With just one touch of his strong right hand they know... Of the temple and the king
