Lirik Lagu Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany

Intro :

Verse 1 :

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

Verse 2 :
Get into my car let's go for a drive

Along the way, I'll be your guide just step inside
Maybe you recall a cannibal curator

A character inspired by my brother's life

Interlude :

Verse 3 :
Winding through the hills, the city far behind

On and on we drove down, narrow streets and dusty roads
At last we came upon, a picturesque estate

On sprawling emerald fields, an ancient world of times gone by

Pre-Chorus 1 :
Let me introduce, my brother

A bearded gentleman, historian

Sucking on his pipe, distinguished accent

Making me uptight, no accident

Chorus :
I , want to stay alive

Everything about this place just doesn't feel right

I , I don't want to 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

Interlude :

Verse 4 :
Would you like to see, our secret holy place ?

I come here late at night, to pray to him by candle light
Then peering through the glass, I saw with disbelief

Still dressed in royal clothes, the saint behind the altar

Verse 5 :
History recalls, during times of war

Legend has been traced, back inside these castle walls

Where soldiers came to hide, in barrels filled with wine

Never to escape, these tombs of oak are where they died

Pre-Chorus 2 :

Down the cellar stairs, I disappear

Like the English heir, the end is near

Come and have a taste, a rare vintage

All the finest wines, improve with age

Chorus :
I , want to stay alive

Everything about this place just doesn't feel right

I , I don't want to 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

Interlude :

Verse 6 :

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

Interlude :

Verse 7 :

Give me one more chance, let me please explain

It's all been circumstance, I'll tell you once again

You took me for a ride, promising a vast adventure

Next thing that I know, I'm frightened for my life

Verse 8 :

Now wait a minute man, 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 ...

Verse 9 :

The chapel and the saint, the soldiers and the wine

The fables and the tales, all handed down 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 ...
