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
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
La lalalala lala la
La lalalala lala la
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
The bell began to ring
It 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
Hes hoping, wondering
Thinking back on the stories hes heard
Of what hes gonna 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
Temple and the king
La lalalala lala la
La lalalala lala la
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
