Blackmore's Night - The Temple Of The King Lyrics






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 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 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 and 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

  29. �.... �....

    What a fantastic song!

  30. r.... s....

    Very good version...if you have not heard the original before. Blackmore and Candice continue to make good music but the "honest and the raw" feeling of the original cannot be captured. ..

  31. a.... i....

    Hilal??

  32. M.... E....

  39. �.... �....

    Вечная музыка!!!

  40. D.... L....

    The original is the greatest! This one is also great... But, please do not campare with the original one.

  41. j.... p....

    it's not about what version is better, this one sounds great.

  42. X.... a....

    this version is shit... original is the best.

  43. D.... U....

    Great cover, but i like most the Scorpions version

  44. R.... H....

    Its ok, but the Angledust version is pretty good

  45. I.... D....

    Cool rendition,but Axel Rudi Pell's version stomps this one.

  46. T.... ....

    At least they didn't spoil it like Child In Time

  47. P.... P....

    I wanted to learn this song on Panflute, so I pulled up Rainbow's version as well as Blackmore's to learn the song. Hands down, I love this version so much more: Candice's voice makes the whole song so mythical and Richie's guitar work gives the song that shade of darkness that makes it so amazing. By the way the song is in the key of D major.

  48. V.... E....

    Love this one much better than the original. A lot smother.

  49. G.... G....

    Richie, just stop it. Leave the good stuff alone and stick to writing new crap.

    G.... G....

    The music is himself, so he can change and redeem!

    G.... G....

    It's just music. HIS music. He can do whatever he wants with it.

  50. C.... E....

    Christ, can't this woman leave anything alone?!!

  51. H.... I....

    согласен

  52. O.... 9....

    Соло куда круче чем в оригинале. ✊ ✊✊

    O.... 9....

    Когда я слушаю эту шедевральную песню, моя душа улетает в заоблачные выси. Спасибо, Ричи, спасибо, Кэндис! Вы великолепны!

    BLACKMORE'S NIGHT LYRICS
    "The Temple Of The King"
    (cover of Rainbow)

    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 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 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 and 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

    A.... ....

    cover? :D lol

    A.... ....

    I Guess Richie can Cover his Own Song

    A.... ....

    Dio was a GENUISS!

  67. A.... ....

    I like this version as much the original !! Congratulations !! <3

    A.... ....

    Angelina⭐❤ yes!!

  68. E.... D....

    temple of the king gibi muhteşem bir şarkının en iyi coverı orjinali kadar zevk verir.

  69. H.... O....

    of course blackmore's done better than others. 1 of the best thing I've heard in my 50 years. Ritchie is a guitar god he taught many and made them guitar legends but unfortunately they don't give him any credit. look at yngwie such an asshole.

    H.... O....

    I don't care a whole lot for Yngwie"s stubbornness in persisting in the same scalar runs and arpeggios he's played for decades.  However, he does and always has credited Blackmore as his inspiration.  In particular, the Fireball album.

  70. J.... K....

    I have never heard of this band but Temple of the king is my all time favorite song, I'll have to look into them

  71. K.... P....

    Hey! Candice don't give a fuck about your "Dio is better" comments.
    Blackmore is god.

    K.... P....

    +Joab Basualdo Gago , laughs, Dio is unmatched... but great version

  72. N.... W....

    Ritchie's solo is better than the original Rainbow's version.

    N.... W....

    +OneRTZero He just reinvented the solo. Both are great.

  74. E.... s....

    very good..................................

  75. M.... A....

    the band is amazing , the song is great . thanx a lot

  76. M.... K....

    Chi mi dice il nome della cantante, grazie!

    M.... K....

    @Marco Kronos The name is Candice Night
    \

    M.... K....

    @Elitsa Kostova tank you elitsa voice wonderfully!! :))))

    M.... K....

    +Marco Kronos la cantante é la moglie di ritchie blackmore :D

    M.... K....

    @swarvagu ah e anche la moglie e nn lo sapevo, ti somiglia pure ;))

  77. W.... R....

    💜🎶~*))"Świątynia Króla"((*~🎶💜

  78. M.... Z....

    i think better than rainbow's version

  79. D.... A....

    RAINBOW!!!

  80. D.... S....

    Questa versione è un abominio

  81. J.... ....

    Makes me miss Dio

  82. M.... K....

    It's OK but I still like the Rainbow version better. 

    M.... K....

    @Mike Kulpa Yep but this solo is better

    M.... K....

    yes, but it is great to see them doing a cover of a Rainbow song.

    M.... K....

    Yes, but I still like a different take a classic none the less. Plus it's still pretty good.

    M.... K....

    @starbtle They covered more than just this song, they did:
    -Temple of the King (superb)
    -Street of Dreams (also great)
    -16th Century Greensleeves (very good, but can't beat Dio's singing)
    -Ariel (not bad, but it lacks the power of thr original)
    -Rainbow Eyes (absolutely perfect, maybe better than the original...maybe)
    -Self Portrait (just as good as the original, but in completely different ways)

  83. r.... ....

    A Pale imitation of the original.

  84. R.... R....

    Beautiful version of the amazing Rainbow's Temple of the King... One of my favorite tracks of them

  85. s.... ....

    This band never ceases to astound me. Every tune they've made, thus far is gold and always brings me to dance.

    Even rock/folk ballads like this. I especially love Ritchie's guitar work.

    Move over Val Hallen of Justice Friends. There is a new God of Rock and his name is Ritchie Blackmore

    s.... ....

    And he's been the king since the 1960's.

    s.... ....

    @*****
    I'm not being sarcastic, the music of Blackmore's Night surpasses much of what many so-called "artists" put out.

    This is so much better than One Direction, Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber

    s.... ....

    @*****
    I'm 29 actually and I've heard some small samples of Deep Purple and Rainbow music.

    Blackmore's Night seems better, to me

    s.... ....

    Vocals are Ritchie Blackmore's wife Candace. But we all knew that.

  86. A.... M....

    Guitar solo seems to come out of nowhere - spot the edit! Always good to see Blackmore doing what he loves, but oh boy what we'd have given for a reunion with Dio. Interesting to hear a lounge lizard version of this classic, though. :)

  87. T.... D....

    DIO said that right. You've been left on your own, like a rainbow in the dark. 

  88. M.... �....

    my favourite song of rainbow by blackmore :) thumbs up

  89. P.... K....

    doogie does the best version

  90. t.... j....

    super  tare !!!!

  91. J.... R....

    batica i think you see negative things,there are many people in the world, who like blackmore s night, and yes he is old but always the best.

  92. D.... F....

    Great remix..

    D.... F....

    ficouuu top essa versão diz ai

  93. M.... M....

    Great cover!!!!

  94. �.... ....

    благодаря Блекмору я когда-то полюбила рок...

    �.... ....

    Татьяна Камалова kkkkkkkkk

  95. g.... ....

    the best song of the album!!!

  96. E.... B....

    It's something like feeling I am in another time Love this song!

  97. m.... a....

    Gostei mas prefinho com dio tbm pelo intrumental

  98. K.... ....

    The old guitalist must have induldged in reminiscence of the days with Dio!

    K.... ....

    How good would it be to hear dio and candice sung together
