The Temple of the King - Blackmore's night

Lyrics by：Ritchie Blackmore/Ronnie James Dio

Composed by：Ritchie Blackmore/Ronnie James Dio

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

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 had just begun

Day had just began

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 from the stories he's heard

Of what he's going to 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 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
