Lyrics

[00:25.15] One day in the year of the fox
[00:27.48] Came a time remembered well
[00:30.39] When the strong young man of the rising sun
[00:33.24] Heard the tolling of the great black bell
[00:37.07] One day in the year of the fox
[00:39.37] When the bell began to ring
[00:42.30] It meant the time had come for one to go
[00:45.30] To the temple of the king
[00:48.56] There in the middle of the circle he stands
[00:51.64] Searching seeking
[00:54.62] With just one touch of his trembling hand
[00:57.62] The answer will be found
[01:00.70] Daylight waits while the old man sings
[01:03.67] Heaven help me!
[01:06.76] And then like the rush of a thousand wings
[01:09.63] It shines upon the one
[01:12.38] And the day has just begun
[01:28.14] One day in the year of the fox
[01:30.45] Came a time remembered well
[01:33.33] When the strong young man of the rising sun
[01:36.26] Heard the tolling of the great black bell
[01:40.05] One day in the year of the fox
[01:42.35] When the bell began to sing
[01:45.43] It meant the time had come for the one to go
[01:48.35] To the temple of the king
[01:51.66] There in the middle of the people he stands
[01:54.64] Seeing feeling
[01:57.67] With just a wave of the strong right hand hes gone
[02:03.33] To the temple of the king
[03:18.76] Far from the circle at the edge of the world
[03:21.66] Hes hoping wondering
[03:24.62] Thinking back on the stories hes heard of
[03:27.62] What hes going to see
[03:30.58] There in the middle of a circle it lies
[03:33.92] Heaven help me!
[03:36.59] Then all could see by the shine in his eyes
[03:39.71] The answer had been found
[03:42.70] Back with the people in the circle he stands
[03:45.66] Giving feeling
[03:48.70] With just one touch of a strong right hand they know
[03:54.38] Of the temple and the king
[03:59.02]
