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

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 sing

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

He's hoping, wondering

Thinking back on the stories he's heard of what he's going to see

There in the middle of a circle

It lies "Heaven help me!"

Then all could see by the shine in his eyes

The answer had been found

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
