Lyrics for The King
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 One day in the year of the fox When the bell began to ring 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 like the rush of a thousand wings It shines upon the one and the day had just begun 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 Far from the circle at the edge of the world He's hoping, wondering Thinking back from the stories he's heard Of what he's going to see There in middle of the circle it lies Heaven help me Then all could see by the shine in his eyes He's sworn, to the temple of the king Far from the circle at the edge of the world He's hoping, wondering Thinking back from the stories he's heard Of what he's going to see There in middle of the circle it lies Heaven help me Then all could see by the shine in his eyes He's sworn, to the temple of the king 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
