"Temple Of The King" lyrics - BLACKMORE'S NIGHT

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 has just begun
The day has just begun

La la la, [etc.]

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 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 on the stories he's heard
Of what he's 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 la la, [etc.]

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 a great black bell
