Testo The Count of Tuscany - Dream Theater
Testo della canzone The Count of Tuscany (Dream Theater), tratta dall'album Lost Not Forgotten Archives: A Dramatic Tour of Events - Select Board Mixes (Live)
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 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
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
Let me introduce, my brother
A bearded 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 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
Well, 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 candlelight
Then peering through the glass, I saw with disbelief
Still dressed in royal clothes, the saint behind the altar
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
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
I want to stay alive, everything about this place, just doesn't feel right
Well, 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
Oh, I may not survive, knew it from the moment we arrived
One and only John Petrucci!
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, just don't understand
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
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, 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, yeah
Alright, alright, I wanna hear your voices on this, here we go!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, take care
We had a great time here tonight, thank you very much
Take care of yourselves, we'll see you when we return, alright?
All the best, have a great time
Thank you, good night!
