Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - 'The Temple Of The King' (official audio)
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
[Chorus]
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
(Uh uh uhh...)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
There in the middle of the people he stands
Seeing, feeling
With just a wave of a strong right hand, he's gone
To the temple of the king
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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 gonna 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
[Outro]
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
(Uh uh uhh...)

Το 1975 οι Rush "χτύπησαν" δισκογραφικά δύο φορές ("Fly by Night" και "Caress of Steel"), οι Led Zeppelin "έβγαλαν" το album "Physical Graffiti", οι Black Sabbath το "Sabotage", οι UFO το "Force It", οι Camel το "The Snow Goose", οι Uriah Heep το "Return to Fantasy", οι Bad Company το "Straight Shooter", οι Scorpions το "In Trance", οι Blue Öyster Cult το "On Your Feet or on Your Knees", οι Jethro Tull το "Minstrel in the Gallery", οι Hawkwind το "Warrior on the Edge of Time", οι Aerosmith το "Toys in the Attic" και σίγουρα μου "ξέφυγαν" άλλα τόσα κι ακόμη περισσότερα.
Για εμένα όμως το "σωτήριο" έτος 1975 ξεχωρίζει (κυρίως) γιατί μας παρουσίασε τους Rainbow, οι οποίοι κυκλοφορούν το εκπληκτικό ντεμπούτο τους υπό τον τίτλο "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" (ή για την ακρίβεια "Ritchie Blackmore's R-A-I-N-B-O-W"). Η κιθάρα του Ritchie, η φωνάρα του Ronnie, το υπέροχο εξώφυλλο, οι εξαιρετικές συνθέσεις. Που να πρωτοεστιάσεις; Ένα από τα (πολλά) "διαμάντια" του δίσκου και το επικολυρικό "The Temple of the King", μία από τις ωραιότερες μπαλάντες στην ιστορία της μουσικής...
