[C] One [G] day in the year of the fox [Dm] came a time, remember well, [Am] [F] when the strong young [G] men of
the rising sun [Am] heard the tolling of the great black bell.
[C] One day [G] in the year of the [E] fox when the bell began [Am] to ring, [F] meant the time had [G] come for one to go
[D] to the temple [Am] of the king.
[Dm] There in the middle of the circle he [Am] stands, searching, speaking,
[G] just one touch [Dm] of his trembling [Am] hand, the answer will be found.
[Dm] Daylight wakes while the old man [Am] sings,
heaven help [G] me, then like a rush of a thousand wings, [E] shines upon the wall, [F] and the day [G] had just [Am] begun.

Along [Dm] from the circle in the end of the [Am] world, hoping, wondering, [G] his name came [Dm] back from the stories he's heard

[G] the lord could see by the shine in his [E] eyes, the answer had been found.

of [F] the temple [G] in [Am] the kingdom.
