The Temple Of The King是rainbow乐队1975年发行的唱片Ritchie Blackmore"s Rainbow中我最喜爱的一首曲子。提到Rainbow(彩虹),自然想起这位传奇人物Ritchie Blackmore，1968年Blackmore和朋友一起组建了Deep Purple深紫乐队（与Led Zeppeline、Black Sabbath并称为英国摇滚乐奠基），在此期间奠定了其无人替代的新古典(前卫)吉它大师地位。1974年离队组建了另一支在摇滚乐历史上拥有显赫地位的rainbow “彩虹”乐队。1997年和他的妻子Candice Night组成的一个夫妻音乐组合，虽然他们的年龄相差了26岁，可是音乐确丝毫不影响这些。Blackmore夫妻档在New Age与World Music的音乐领域已颇富盛名，成为少数能够成功跨足Rock/New Age/World Music的艺人。

尽管历经多次的变革，Ritchie Blackmore却一直如同一棵常青树，保持着旺盛的生命力，活跃在国际乐坛，可谓摇滚乐历史上的一支不朽的传奇。

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
