The turn of a friendly card
Alan Parson's Project

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual 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 pilgrim 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

那儿有许多没有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
他们以为这样能让日子好过一些
因为天知道，到目前为止一切都艰难无比
然而，这将是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的一切都掌控在一张好牌的来临
这将是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的一切都掌控在一张好牌的来临

西边沙漠里有一座号志
在那儿你无法分辨日出与黑夜
即使是国王的战马与士兵
也无法阻止这场因愚昧而招致的浩劫
因为他们以为这样能让日子好过一些
天知道到目前为止一切都艰难无比
然而，这是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的一切都掌控在一张好牌的来临
这真的是一场永无休止的赌局
当你的一切都掌控在一张好牌的来临

然而朝圣者依然身不由己的寻找属于他的祭坛
一旦他走进这座教堂……
