Текст песни Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany

Текст:

Several years ago In a foreign town Far away from home I met the Count of Tuscany A young eccentric man Bred from royal blood Took me for a ride Across the open countryside Get into my car Let's go for drive I love the way i feel uptight Just step inside Maybe you'll recall I kind of felt curious A character inspired by my brother's life Winding through the hills Seeing far behind On and on we drove Down narrow streets and dusty roads And last we came upon A picturesque estate On sprawling emerald hills An ancient world of times gone by Now let me introduce My brother A bitter gentleman - historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight - no accident I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Would you like to see Our secret holy place? I come here late at night To pray to him by candle light Then viewing through the past I saw which is believed Still dressed in royal clothes A saint behind the altar History recalls During times of war Legend has been traced Stuck inside these castle walls Soldiers came to hide With barrels filled with wine Never to escape These tombs of old that's where they died Down the cellar stairs I disappear Like the angel's share The end is near Come and have a taste A rare vintage All the finest wines Improve with age I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Could this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my side I don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understand Give me one more chance Let me please explain It's all been circumstance I'll tell you once again It took me for a ride Promising a vast adventure Next thing that I know I'm frightened for my life Now wait a minute then That's not how it is You must be confused That isn't who I am Please don't be afraid I would never try to hurt you This is how we live Strange although it seems Please try to forgive The chapel and the Sade The soldiers in the wine The fables and the tales All handed through time Of course you're free to go Go and tell the world my story Tell about my brother Tell them about me The Count of Tuscany...
