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 outward emotion
and they think it will make their lives easier
for 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
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's the king's horse 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 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...
part 2:
there are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
on a wheel of perpetual motion
who belong to all races and answer all names
with no show of outward emotion
and they think it will make their lives easier
but the doorway before them is barred
and 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
alan parsons project'in albüme de ismini vermiş 2 partlı şarkısı. hangisi güzel ben seçemiyorum. tek bildiğim neden kıytırık olduğunu anlamadığım şu sıkıcı ve boğucu günde çok tatlı gittiği. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT0cKjDACIY
oyun bitmediği müddetçe elinize her zaman iyi bir kartın gelebileceği inancıyla başlayıp, oyundan çekilinmesi gerektiği anda hırs yapıp masadan kalkmamakla devam eden ve sonunda elde kaybedecek hiçbir şeyin kalmaması ile sonlanan şarkı.
