어제 배철수의 음악캠프에서 퀴즈 내고 상품 소개해줄때 배경음악으로 나왔던 Ammonia Avenue..
고등학생 시절...헤비메탈에 심취했었음에도 알란 파슨스 프로젝트의 음악은 열심히 듣곤 했었다.
그중에서 가장 좋아하는 곡이 바로 이 곡.
1년에 두세번은 라디오나 길거리에서 듣게 되는데 그때마다 무척 반갑다.
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?
Watching the sun arise
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?
Into the strangers eyes
And who are we to criticize or scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we shall find Ammonia Avenue
If we call for the proof and we question the answers
Only the doubt will grow
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
Only the wise will know
And word by word they handed down the light that shines today
And those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray
Yes those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray
When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
Why should the hope remain?
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary
Living his life in vain
And who are we to justify the right in all we do?
Until we seek until we find Ammonia Avenue
Through all the doubt somehow they knew
Through all the doubt somehow they knew
And stone by stone they built it high
Until the sun broke through
A ray of hope, a shining light Ammonia Avenue
