Lyrics

You're never alone
 ♪
 When we were in America
 Doing the new album
 After a hard day in the studio
 Richie would get out his American Express card
 And take us to a bar
 Buy us each a bottle of expensive wine
 And sit down and we'd play some tunes
 To whoever would listen to us
 This is an old song that you'll recognise
 That came from these particular times in bars and pubs
 This is "Temple of the King"
 ♪
 One day in the year of the fox
 Came the time remembered well
 When a strong young man of the rising sun
 Of the tolling of the great black bell
 One day in the year of the fox
 When the bell began to ring
 But 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 wave of his strong right hand
 The answer will be found
 Daylight waits while the old man sings
 Heaven help me
 Then like the rush of a thousand wings he's gone
 And the day has just begun
 ♪
 One day in the year of the fox
 Came the time remembered well
 When the strong young man of the rising sun
 Of the tolling of the great black bell
 One day in the year of the fox
 When the bell began to ring
 When the time had come for one to go
 To the Temple of the King
 Far from the circle of the edge of the world
 He's hoping, wondering
 Thinking back to the story he's heard
 Of what he's gonna see
 There in the middle of the circle he lies
 Heaven help me
 All could see by the look in his eyes
 He'd go to the Temple of the King
 ♪
 One day in the year of the fox
 Came the time remembered well
 When a strong young man of the rising sun
 Of the tolling of the great black bell
 One day in the year of the fox
 When the bell began to ring
 But the time had come for one to go
 To the Temple of the King
 ♪
 Don't be afraid, it's the black masquerade
