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 on-e to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle of the circle, he stands
Searching, seeking
With just on-e touch of his trembling hand
The answer will be found
There it lies and waits while the old man sings
Heaven, help me
And then like a rush of a thousand wings
It shines upon the on-e
And the day has just begun
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to sing
It meant the time had come for on-e to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle of people, he stands
Seeing, feeling
With just the wave of a strong right hand
He's gone to the temple of the king
Far from the circle of the edge of the world
He's hoping wondering
Thinking back from the stories he's heard
Of what he's going to see
And there in the middle of the circle it lies
Heaven, help me
Then all could see by the shine in his eyes
The answer has been found
Back with the people in the circle, he stands
Giving, feeling
With just on-e touch of a strong right hand
They know of the temple and the king
