Rainbow,二十世纪很重要的一直乐队。第一次听这首《王的神殿》(Temple of the King) 就被迷到了。旋律和主唱的声音温和而充满力量。
后来发现,主唱和Blackmore’sNight的主唱是同一个人Ritchie Blackmore。
话不多说,CD版
现场版很销魂- -~我喜欢~
the 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.
one day in the year of the fox,
when the bell began to ring,
it 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 has 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.
there in the middle of the people he stands,
seeing, feeling.
with just a wave of the strong right hand, he's gone
to the temple of the king.
far from the circle, at the edge of the world,
he's hoping, wondering.
thinking back on the stories he's heard of
what he's going to see.
there, in the middle of a circle it lies.
"heaven help me!"
then all could see by the shine in his eyes
the answer had been found.
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.
