The Count Of Tuscany - Dream Theater[00:00:00]
Written by:John Myung/Jordan Rudess/Mike Portnoy[00:00:02]
Several years ago[00:04:23]
In a foreign town[00:04:26]
Far away from home[00:04:29]
I met the count of Tuscany[00:04:31]
A young eccentric man[00:04:34]
Bred from royal blood[00:04:37]
Took me for a ride[00:04:40]
Across the open countryside[00:04:43]
Get into my car[00:04:47]
Let's go for a drive[00:04:49]
I love the way I feel uptight[00:04:52]
Just step inside[00:04:54]
Maybe you'll recall[00:04:57]
A cannibal curator[00:04:59]
A character inspired by my brother's life[00:05:02]
Winding through the hills[00:05:10]
Seeing far behind[00:05:13]
On and on we drove[00:05:16]
Down narrow streets and dusty roads[00:05:18]
And last we came upon[00:05:21]
A picturesque estate[00:05:24]
On sprawling emerald hills[00:05:27]
An ancient world of times gone by[00:05:30]
Let me introduce[00:05:34]
My brother[00:05:37]
A bitter gentleman historian[00:05:39]
Sucking on his pipe[00:05:44]
Distinguished accent[00:05:46]
Making me uptight no accident[00:05:49]
I want to stay alive[00:05:54]
Everything about this place just doesn't feel right[00:05:57]
I I don't wanna die[00:06:03]
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life[00:06:07]
I wanna say goodbye[00:06:13]
This could be the last time you see me alive[00:06:16]
I I may not survive[00:06:22]
Knew it from the moment we arrived[00:06:26]
Would you like to see[00:07:11]
Our secret holy place[00:07:13]
I come here late at night[00:07:16]
To pray to him by candle light[00:07:19]
Then viewing through the past[00:07:21]
I saw which is believed[00:07:24]
Still dressed in royal clothes[00:07:26]
A saint behind the altar[00:07:29]
History recalls[00:07:32]
During times of war[00:07:34]
Legend has been traced[00:07:37]
Stuck inside these castle walls[00:07:39]
Soldiers came to hide[00:07:41]
With barrels filled with wine[00:07:44]
Never to escape[00:07:46]
These tombs of old are where they died[00:07:48]
Down the cellar stairs[00:07:53]
I disappear[00:07:55]
Like the angel's share[00:07:57]
The end is near[00:07:59]
Come and have a taste[00:08:02]
A rare vintage[00:08:04]
All the finest wines[00:08:07]
Improve with age[00:08:08]
I wanna stay alive[00:08:11]
Everything about this place just doesn't feel right[00:08:15]
I I don't wanna die[00:08:21]
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life[00:08:24]
I wanna say goodbye[00:08:30]
This could be the last time you see me alive[00:08:34]
I I may not survive[00:08:40]
Knew it from the moment we arrived[00:08:43]
Could this be the end[00:14:48]
Is this the way I die[00:14:51]
Sitting here alone[00:14:55]
No one by my side[00:14:59]
I don't understand[00:15:03]
I don't feel that I deserve this[00:15:07]
What did I do wrong[00:15:11]
I just don't understand[00:15:14]
I just don't understand[00:15:18]
Give me one more chance[00:15:33]
Let me please explain[00:15:37]
It's all been circumstance[00:15:40]
I'll tell you once again[00:15:44]
It took me for a ride[00:15:48]
Promising a vast adventure[00:15:51]
Next thing that I know[00:15:55]
I'm frightened for my life[00:15:58]
Now wait a minute then[00:16:02]
That's not how it is[00:16:06]
You must be confused[00:16:09]
That isn't who I am[00:16:13]
Please don't be afraid[00:16:17]
I would never try to hurt you[00:16:20]
This is how we live[00:16:24]
Strange although it seems[00:16:26]
Please try to forgive[00:16:28]
The chapel and the Sade[00:16:31]
The soldiers in the wine[00:16:35]
The fables and the tales[00:16:38]
All handed down through time[00:16:42]
Of course you're free to go[00:16:45]
Go and tell the world my story[00:16:49]
Tell about my brother[00:16:52]
Tell them about me[00:16:54]
The count of Tuscany[00:16:56]
