The turn of a friendly card
Alan Parson's Project
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual1 motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been heard
But the game never ends when your whole world
depends on the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world
depends on the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
have prevented the fall of the unwise
For they think it will make their lives easier
And God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world
depends on the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world
depends on the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim2 must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral.........

牌局转换
亚伦派森计划合唱团
那儿有很多没笑容的脸和亮丽的塑料锁炼
还有一个永不停转的轮盘
他们盯着每一场赛局,输掉所有
脸上不表露任何情绪
他们以为如此能让日子好过一些
由于天了解,到现在为止所有都艰难无比
然而,这将是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的所有都掌控在一张好牌的到来
这将是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的所有都掌控在一张好牌的到来
西边沙漠里有一座号志
在那儿你没办法分辨日出与黑夜
即便是国王的战马与士兵
也没办法阻止这场因愚昧而招致的浩劫
由于他们以为如此能让日子好过一些
天了解到现在为止所有都艰难无比
然而,这是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的所有都掌控在一张好牌的到来
这真的是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的所有都掌控在一张好牌的到来
然而朝圣者依旧身不由己的探寻是他的祭坛
一旦他走进这座教堂
