The Alan Parsons Project – The Turn of a Friendly Card Lyrics 4 years ago
@[Jabs:38771] I think the last two lines refer to the power of addiction.

"A pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine"

Must follow implies lack of choice

"As he enters inside the cathedral"

Searching for a shrine in the cathedral is a veiled reference to how some see Las Vegas (or Atlantic City, or what have you) as a gambling Mecca. The sacred place of gambling.

Just my interpretation as a recovering gambling addict myself. That's how I saw even the local games I was in on. Not as sacred, per se, but definitely as important, necessary, the way some folks see their churches.
