[03:23.39]
[04:22.30] Several years ago
[04:25.24] In a foreign town
[04:28.15] Far away from home
[04:30.87] I met the Count of Tuscany
[04:33.50]
[04:33.75] A young eccentric man
[04:36.40] Bred from royal blood
[04:39.15] Took me for a ride
[04:42.26] Across the open countryside
[04:45.02]
[04:46.28] Get into my car
[04:48.69] Let's go for a drive
[04:51.26] Along the way
[04:52.47] I'll be your guide
[04:53.60] Just step inside
[04:55.43]
[04:56.51] Maybe you'll recall
[04:58.97] A cannibal curator
[05:01.61] A character inspired by my brother's life
[05:05.62]
[05:09.57] Winding through the hills
[05:12.28] The city far behind
[05:15.04] On and on we drove
[05:17.73] Down narrow streets and dusty roads
[05:20.96]
[05:21.20] At last we came upon
[05:23.53] A picturesque estate
[05:26.27] On sprawling emerald fields
[05:29.16] An ancient world of times gone by
[05:31.97]
[05:33.58] Let me introduce
[05:36.07] My brother
[05:38.54] A bearded gentleman
[05:40.34] Historian
[05:43.17] Sucking on his pipe
[05:45.88] Distinguished accent
[05:48.48] Making me uptight
[05:50.32] No accident
[05:51.92]
[05:53.22] I want to stay alive
[05:56.92] Everything about this place
[05:59.98] Just doesn't feel right
[06:02.73] I
[06:04.09] I don't want to die
[06:06.38] Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
[06:11.54]
[06:12.33] I want to say goodbye
[06:15.94] This could be the last time
[06:18.36] You see me alive
[06:21.68] I
[06:23.01] I may not survive
[06:25.19] Knew it
[06:25.99] From the moment we arrived
[06:30.89]
[07:10.31] Would you like to see
[07:12.86] Our secret holy place
[07:15.35] I come here late at night
[07:18.02] To pray to him by candle light
[07:20.40] Then peering through the glass
[07:22.96] I saw with disbelief
[07:25.75] Still dressed in royal clothes
[07:28.41] The saint behind the altar
[07:31.31]
[07:31.55] History recalls
[07:33.53] During times of war
[07:35.99] Legend has been traced
[07:38.24] Back inside these castle walls
[07:40.51]
[07:40.80] Where soldiers came to hide
[07:43.09] In barrels filled with wine
[07:45.59] Never to escape
[07:47.90] These tombs of oak
[07:49.73] Are where they died
[07:50.70]
[07:51.99] Down the cellar stairs
[07:54.36] I disappear
[07:56.69] Like the angel's share
[07:58.44] The end is near
[08:00.14]
[08:01.48] Come and have a taste
[08:03.85] A rare vintage
[08:06.19] All the finest wines
[08:07.96] Improved with age
[08:09.45]
[08:10.65] I want to stay alive
[08:14.29] Everything about this place
[08:17.63] Just doesn't feel right
[08:20.09] I
[08:21.42] I don't want to die
[08:23.60] Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
[08:28.75]
[08:29.52] I want to say goodbye
[08:33.12] This could be the last time
[08:35.64] You see me alive
[08:38.99] I
[08:40.21] I may not survive
[08:42.58] Knew it
[08:43.28] From the moment we arrived.
[08:48.17]
[14:47.45] Could this be the end?
[14:50.70] Is this the way I die?
[14:54.87] Sitting here alone
[14:58.81] No one by my side
[15:01.26]
[15:02.55] I don't understand
[15:06.35] I don't feel that I deserve this
[15:10.22] What did I do wrong?
[15:13.78] I just don't understand
[15:26.30]
[15:32.84] Give me one more chance
[15:36.46] Let me please explain
[15:39.85] It's all been circumstance
[15:43.60] I'll tell you once again
[15:45.86]
[15:47.18] You took me for a ride
[15:50.80] Promising a vast adventure
[15:54.62] The next that I know
[15:57.82] I'm frightened for my life
[16:00.96]
[16:01.55] Now wait a minute man
[16:05.34] That's not how it is
[16:08.88] You must be confused
[16:12.10] That isn't who I am
[16:14.87]
[16:16.25] Please don't be afraid
[16:19.78] I would never try to hurt you
[16:23.35] This is how we live
[16:25.47] Strange although it seems
[16:27.08] Please try to forgive
[16:30.12]
[16:30.48] The chapel and the saint
[16:33.93] The soldiers and the wine
[16:37.50] The fables and the tales
[16:41.15] All handed down through time
[16:44.11]
[16:44.62] Of course you're free to go
[16:48.23] Go and tell the world my story
[16:51.76] Tell about my brother
[16:53.52] Tell them about me
[16:55.80] The Count of Tuscany
[17:22.33]
