[00:02.09]Written by:John Myung/Jordan Rudess/Mike Portnoy
[04:23.46]Several years ago
[04:26.34]In a foreign town
[04:29.30]Far away from home
[04:31.93]I met the count of Tuscany
[04:34.28]A young eccentric man
[04:37.66]Bred from royal blood
[04:40.41]Took me for a ride
[04:43.38]Across the open countryside
[04:47.22]Get into my car
[04:49.71]Let's go for a drive
[04:52.32]I love the way I feel uptight
[04:54.75]Just step inside
[04:57.65]Maybe you'll recall
[04:59.95]A cannibal curator
[05:02.64]A character inspired by my brother's life
[05:10.64]Winding through the hills
[05:13.42]Seeing far behind
[05:16.29]On and on we drove
[05:18.97]Down narrow streets and dusty roads
[05:21.39]And last we came upon
[05:24.67]A picturesque estate
[05:27.22]On sprawling emerald hills
[05:30.23]An ancient world of times gone by
[05:34.70]Let me introduce
[05:37.10]My brother
[05:39.46]A bitter gentleman historian
[05:44.68]Sucking on his pipe
[05:46.94]Distinguished accent
[05:49.60]Making me uptight no accident
[05:54.37]I want to stay alive
[05:57.95]Everything about this place just doesn't feel right
[06:03.76]I I don't wanna die
[06:07.55]Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
[06:13.48]I wanna say goodbye
[06:16.95]This could be the last time you see me alive
[06:22.80]I I may not survive
[06:26.28]Knew it from the moment we arrived
[07:11.45]Would you like to see
[07:13.78]Our secret holy place
[07:16.42]I come here late at night
[07:19.09]To pray to him by candle light
[07:21.46]Then viewing through the past
[07:24.34]I saw which is believed
[07:26.73]Still dressed in royal clothes
[07:29.54]A saint behind the altar
[07:32.26]History recalls
[07:34.67]During times of war
[07:37.06]Legend has been traced
[07:39.39]Stuck inside these castle walls
[07:41.76]Soldiers came to hide
[07:44.08]With barrels filled with wine
[07:46.65]Never to escape
[07:48.73]These tombs of old are where they died
[07:53.03]Down the cellar stairs
[07:55.40]I disappear
[07:57.70]Like the angel's share
[07:59.45]The end is near
[08:02.49]Come and have a taste
[08:04.86]A rare vintage
[08:07.18]All the finest wines
[08:08.84]Improve with age
[08:11.54]I wanna stay alive
[08:15.33]Everything about this place just doesn't feel right
[08:21.09]I I don't wanna die
[08:24.65]Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
[08:30.58]I wanna say goodbye
[08:34.26]This could be the last time you see me alive
[08:40.03]I I may not survive
[08:43.68]Knew it from the moment we arrived
[14:48.57]Could this be the end
[14:51.96]Is this the way I die
[14:55.87]Sitting here alone
[14:59.85]No one by my side
[15:03.62]I don't understand
[15:07.36]I don't feel that I deserve this
[15:11.11]What did I do wrong
[15:14.71]I just don't understand
[15:18.08]I just don't understand
[15:33.93]Give me one more chance
[15:37.33]Let me please explain
[15:40.88]It's all been circumstance
[15:44.44]I'll tell you once again
[15:48.02]It took me for a ride
[15:51.86]Promising a vast adventure
[15:55.57]Next thing that I know
[15:58.53]I'm frightened for my life
[16:02.56]Now wait a minute then
[16:06.34]That's not how it is
[16:09.93]You must be confused
[16:13.34]That isn't who I am
[16:17.25]Please don't be afraid
[16:20.69]I would never try to hurt you
[16:24.36]This is how we live
[16:26.09]Strange although it seems
[16:28.12]Please try to forgive
[16:31.33]The chapel and the Sade
[16:35.00]The soldiers in the wine
[16:38.45]The fables and the tales
[16:42.11]All handed down through time
[16:45.55]Of course you're free to go
[16:49.30]Go and tell the world my story
[16:52.83]Tell about my brother
[16:54.65]Tell them about me
[16:56.03]The count of Tuscany
