콜린 블룬스톤을 포함한 6명의 보컬리스트를 동원시켜 완성한 그룹의 3집 앨범 확장반. 피라미드에 얽힌 신비함과 불가사의 그리고 그것의 권능과 미신에 매료된 인간의 이야기를 끌어내며 알란 파슨스 프로젝트만의 독특한 화폭으로 재현시킨 작품. 인스트루멘틀 넘버 'THE VOYGER'는 도발적인 스타일의 넘버로 초자연적인 앨범의 분위기를 이끌어내는 오프닝 넘버이며 콜린 블룬스톤의 보컬을 감상할 수 있는 'THE EAGLE WILL RISE AGAIN'과 더불어 눈부신 사운딩이 빛을 발하는 'WHAT GOES UP'은 본작의 하이라이트 중에 하나이다. 중반부의 평온한 사운드와 격정적인 키보드 플레이를 동반한 'PYRAMANIA'는 본작의 주제를 최고조로 끌어 올리고 있다. 또한 전형적인 알란 파슨스만의 매력으로 충만한 'CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU'는 인간의 소유물 중에 가장 중요한 자산인 영혼에 관해 역설하고 있다. - 전곡 리마스터, 7 BONUS TRACKS, 희귀사진이 첨가된 개정 라이너 노트 수록. .... ....
Who knows where the road may Lead us, only the fool would say Who knows if we'll meet along the Way Follow the brightest star as far As the brave may dare What will we find when we get There
La Sagrada Familia we pray the Storm will soon be over La Sagrada Familia for the lion And the lamb
Who knows where the winds may Blow us, only a fool would say Who knows if we'll ever reach the Shore Follow a rising sun with eyes that May only stare What kind of fire will burn us There? What kind of fire? Only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia the wind has Changed the storm is over La Sagrada Familia for the lion And the lamb La Sagrada Familia we thank the Lord the danger's over La Sagrada Familia there's peace Throughout the land
Under clear blue skies our voices Rise in songs of glory And for all those years our eyes And ears were filled with tears
Who knows where the world may Turn us, only a fool would say Who knows what the fate may Have in store Follow the light of truth as far As our eyes can see How should we knows where that May be? How should we know?
Then the angry skies, the battle Cries, the sounds of glory And for all those years out eyes And ears were filled with tears
Who knows where the road may Lead us, only a fool would say Who knows what's been lost Along the way Look for the promised land in all Of the dreams we share How will we know when we are There? How will we know? Only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia the war is won The battle's over La Sagrada Familia for the lion And the lamb La Sagrada Familia we thank the Lord the danger's over La Sagrada Familia behold the Mighty hand La Sagrada Familia the night is Gone the waiting's over La Sagrada Familia there's peace Throughout the land
What goes up, must come down What must rise, must fall And what goes on in your life Is writing on the wall If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all If all things must pass Even a miracle won't last What goes up, must come down What must stand alone? And what goes on, in your mind Is turning into stone If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all If all things must pass Even a pyramid won't last
How can you be so sure? How do you know what the earth will endure? How can you be so sure? That the wonders you've made in you life Will be seen By the millions who'll follow to visit the site Of your dream?
What goes up, must come down What goes round, must come round What's been lost, must be found
And I could easily fall from grace Then another would take my place For the chance to behold your face
As the days of my life are but grains of sand As they fall from your open hand At the call of the wind's command
Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
All that I ask you Is, show me how to follow you and I'll obey Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way Let me see the light, let me be the light
As the sun turns slowly around the sky Till the shadow of night is high The eagle will learn to fly
As the days of his life are but grains of sand As they fall from your open hand And vanish upon the land
Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you Show me how to follow you and I'll obey Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way Let me see the light, let me be the light And so, with no warning, no last goodbye In the dawn of the morning sky The eagle will rise again
Don't look back cause there's one more river Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross No more fightin' and no more dyin' No more cheatin' and no more lyin'
Don't look back cause there's one more river Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross Don't start askin' the rhyme or the reason Don't hold back it's the time of the season
One more mile and one more road One last bridge and one less load One more river Don't look back cause there's one more river Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross
Don't start askin' the rhyme or the reason Don't hold back it's the time of the season One more mile and one more road One last bridge and one less load One more river One more river
Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do I am just a humble servant with a message here for you Well I know you have good reasons and there's things you've got to do But the boatman won't be waiting and he's leaving here with you And you can't take it with you No matter what you do No you can't take it with you Not the place you're going to
(One more mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load)
Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do I am just obeying orders, I'm a simple soul like you Well you really are persuasive, but I've heard it all before And the boatman's getting restless as he stands upon the shore And you can't take it with you No matter what you do No you can't take it with you Not the place you're going to Can't take it with you
To touch the sky A dreamer must be Someone who has more Imagination than me
To reach the stars A dreamer must fly Somehow he must live more of a Lifetime than I For sands of time won't wait And it may be too late
Now it is the hour and the moment Don't let the chance go by Your ship is sailing with the high Tide And all your dreams are on the Inside On the inside looking out, on the Inside, looking out Looking out, looking out, looking Out
To change the world A dreamer must be Someone who has more Determination than me
To free his sould A dreamer must fly Somewhere he must find a better Reason than I The hands of time won't wait And we may be too late
Now is the hour and the moment Don't let a day pass by You ship is sailing with the high Tide You could be standing on the Inside On the inside looking out, on the Inside, looking out On the inside looking out, on the Inside, looking out Looking out, looking out, looking Out
There are pyramids in my head There's one underneath my bead And my lady's getting cranky Every possible location Has a simple explanation And it isn't hanky-panky I had read Somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and your wine It said, that everything you grow in your garden would taste pretty fine Instead, all I ever get is a pain in the neck and a Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap I've consulted all the sages I could find in the yellow pages But there aren't many of them And the myan panoramas On my pyramid pajamas Haven't helped my little problem I've been told Someone in the know can be sure that his luck is as Good as gold, money in the bank and you don't even pay for it If you fold, a dollar bill in the shape of the pyramid that's printed on the back It's no lie You can keep the edge of a razor as sharp as an Eagle's eye, you can grow a hedge that is vertically straight over Ten feet high, all you really need is a pyramid and just a little luck
I had read, somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and wine I'd been told, someone in the know can be sure of his good luck It's no lie, all you need is a little bit of pyramidic help
Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be Look through my eyes and through the years of lonliness you'll see
To the times in my life when I could not stand to lose, a simple game And the least of it all was the fortune and the fame But the dream seemed to end just as soon as it had begun, was I to know? For the least thing of all that was on my mind, was the close at the end of the show The shadow of a lonely man, feels nobody else In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man I can see myself
(Looking out of nowhere, looking out of nowhere)
But the sounds of the crowds when they come to see me now, is not the same And the jest of it all is I can't recall my name But I'll cling to a hope till I can't hold on anymore, anymore And for all the acclaim I am all alone and I see as I look through the door
The shadow of a lonely man, there's nobody else In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man I can see myself
이게 무려 30년 전 노래다. 말이 필요 없는 곡. 당대 최고의 스튜디오 엔지니어였던 알란 파슨스. 전자음악의 태동기에 그 최전선에서 새로움을 추구한 뮤지션이지만 단순히 테크놀로지에만 집착하지 않고 음악의 본질을 잃지 않았기에 수많은 명곡들을 남길 수 있었던 게 아닐까? 몰아치고 있는 신자유주의의 광풍과, 화석연료의 고갈 위에 위태롭게 서있는 현대 문명. 항상 인간이 모든 것의 중심이어야 한다. .크리에이티브 커먼즈 라이센스이 저작물은 크리에이티브......
