The Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue (Ammonia Avenue, 1984)
Lead Vocal : Eric Woolfson
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
And stone by stone they built it high
Until the sun broke through
A ray of hope, a shining light ammonia avenue
The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the sky (Eye in the sky, 1982) (Live in Madrid)
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
神은 人間을 만들었고, 人間은 로봇을 만들었다. (여기서 神에 대한 정의는 따로 내리지 않는다.)
그래서 SF Text에선 로봇을 人間으로 대치하여 읽기도 한다. (따라서 人間을 神으로 대치할 수 있다..)
아시모프의 로봇3원칙을 보자. (이 원칙이 로봇을 위한 원칙이 아님을 알 수 있다.)
[Three Laws of Robotics]
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
로봇은 인간에 해를 가하거나, 혹은 행동을 하지 않음으로써 인간에게 해가 가도록 해서는 안 된다.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
로봇은 인간이 내리는 명령들에 복종해야만 하며, 단 이러한 명령들이 첫 번째 법칙에 위배될 때에는 예외로 한다.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
로봇은 자신의 존재를 보호해야만 하며, 단 그러한 보호가 첫 번째와 두 번째 법칙에 위배될 때에는 예외로 한다.
하지만 위의 세 법칙보다 우선하는 최우선 순위 법칙이 있다.
0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
로봇은 인류에게 해를 가하거나, 행동을 하지 않음으로써 인류에게 해가 가도록 해서는 안 된다.

무엇보다도 이 법칙을 노동자로 대표되는 '로봇'이 만들었다는데 더 큰 '의의(意義)'가 있을지 모른다.
어쩜 이 법칙은 弘益人間과 맞닿아 있을지도.. :-p
하지만 이것을 잘못 해석하여 '全體主義(totalitarianism)' 성격으로 흐르는 것을 경계(警戒)해야 한다!
영국 그룹 앨런 파슨스 프로젝트의 1987년 Gaudi 앨범 1번째곡이다.

Who knows where the road may lead us, only a 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 will 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 fates may have in store
Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be?
How should we know?
Then the angry skies, the battle cries, the sounds of glory
And for all those years our 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
Until the next timeUntil the next time

Time - The Alan Parsons Project (The Turn of a Friendly Card, 1980)
Lead vocal : Eric Woolfson
Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends, Maybe forever
Goodbye my friends, The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
