The Temple Of The King

The lyrics describe a young man called to a mysterious temple, where he seeks an answer and eventually returns to the people changed. The mood moves from solemn expectation and uncertainty to discovery, then to a sense of sharing. The repeated bell and journey make the event feel important, though the song does not explain exactly what the answer is.

The “great black bell” suggests a serious summons or signal that a time for action has arrived. The circle may represent a community gathered around the seeker, or a ritual setting in which he must face a challenge. When “the shine in his eyes” reveals that the answer has been found, the image implies an inner understanding rather than a clearly stated fact. His touch or raised hand seems to communicate something that words cannot.

The temple and king could be literal figures within a legend-like story, but they may also stand for spiritual wisdom, authority, or a goal the young man must reach. The lyrics leave open whether he discovers something personal or something he can give to the community. His return matters: the journey is not only about finding an answer, but also about bringing back a new feeling or knowledge that others recognize.
