C                G
  One day in the year of the fox
        Dm              Am
Came a time remembered well
         F
When the strong young man
        G
Of the rising sun heard the
Am
Tolling of the great black bell
 
(bass)
C                G
  One day in the year of the fox when the
E             Am
Bell began to ring, it meant the
F                     G
Time had come for the one to go to the
Am
Temple of the King
 
 
Dm
There in the middle of the circle, he stands
Am
Searching, Seeking,
      G
With just one touch of his trembling hand
     Am
The answer will be found
 
 
Dm
Daylight waits while the old man sings
Am
Heaven, help me,
G                   Dm
Just like a rush of thousand wings 
    E
It shines upon the One
        F       G       Am
And the day has just begun

Seeing, feeling

Just a wave of the strong right hand

He's gone, to the

Temple of the King

Dm
Far from the circle of the edge of the world
      Am
He's hoping, wondering
G
Thinking back of the stories he's heard
       Am
what he's going to see
Dm
There in the middle of the circle he lies
Am
Heaven, help me
G                    Dm
All could see by the shine in his eyes
     E
The answer has been found
 
Dm
Back with the people in the circle he stands
Am
Giving, feeling
     G                      Dm                     E
With just one touch of the strong right hand they know
        F      G      Am
Of the Temple and the King
