[00:11.90] | We are friends, are we not? |
[00:13.74] | And our interests are the same |
[00:16.06] | We collaborate |
[00:17.47] | And trust in fate |
[00:18.68] | Parcel out the blame |
[00:20.51] | There are ends we’ve all got that can justify the means |
[00:24.93] | We negotiate |
[00:26.45] | Then fabricate the facts behind the scenes |
[00:29.82] | Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden |
[00:34.08] | Safe from the balanced sheet of those you trust |
[00:37.41] | Because history is a story told by the winners of the fight |
[00:42.74] | You imply a little |
[00:43.32] | Lie a little |
[00:43.82] | Testifying |
[00:44.35] | Try a little |
[00:44.86] | Sailor |
[00:47.14] | Who’s gonna question what goes on in the middle of the night? |
[00:51.07] | Not a tinker |
[00:51.65] | Not a tailor |
[00:52.28] | Not his father or Mercedes |
[00:53.28] | Or a jailer |
[00:57.18] | So we all are agreed |
[00:59.20] | Let’s be vigilant and wise |
[01:01.85] | We must all pretend our na?ve friend was caught in his own lies |
[01:06.15] | For our plan to succeed |
[01:08.28] | we must share but one belief |
[01:10.50] | Edmond Dantes stays and ends his days inside the Chateau d’If |
[01:15.01] | Where the softest things he’ll touch are stones and darkness |
[01:19.33] | Deep in a craggy isle and dungeon’s keep |
[01:22.98] | Because history’s a story told by the men who make the laws |
[01:27.96] | We supply a little lie |
[01:28.93] | To help the gullible to buy a little fable |
[01:32.52] | What will become of the righteous men who fashioned Dantes’ flaws? |
[01:36.45] | The rich |
[01:37.01] | And well respected |
[01:37.70] | Are no more to be rejected at our table |
[01:41.14] | I’ll be a comfort in her time of grief and anguish |
[01:45.14] | I’ll be Mercedes’ ever faithful acolyte |
[01:48.34] | Every night |
[01:49.51] | And part of me wishes Dantes didn’t have to languish |
[01:53.90] | But I can see it’s him or me |
[01:55.46] | Let him sit there and rot until he’s forgot |
[01:57.48] | Let him rot! |
[02:00.26] | History’s a story told by the people who survive |
[02:04.28] | Let me sign and then initial |
[02:05.39] | It’s the truth if it’s officially the story |
[02:08.70] | What if the cost is one young man so three more men can survive? |
[02:12.65] | He’s a price we have to pay |
[02:13.70] | So live and fight another day for love and glory |
[02:17.04] | He was standing in the way |
[02:18.00] | A threat to justice in Marseille |
[02:19.72] | So goes the story! |
[02:21.20] | Stick to the story! |
[02:23.25] | Here ends the story! |
