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
Lets go for a drive
Along the way
Ill be your guide
Just step inside
Maybe youll recall
A cannibal curator
A character inspired by my brothers 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 doesnt feel right
I
I dont want to die
Suddenly Im 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
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 angels share
The end is near
Come and have a taste
A rare vintage
All the finest wines
Improved with age
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place
Just doesnt feel right
I
I dont want to die
Suddenly Im 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.
Could this be the end?
Is this the way I die?
Sitting here alone
No one by my side
I dont understand
I dont feel that I deserve this
What did I do wrong?
I just dont understand
Give me one more chance
Let me please explain
Its all been circumstance
Ill tell you once again
You took me for a ride
Promising a vast adventure
The next that I know
Im frightened for my life
Now wait a minute man
Thats not how it is
You must be confused
That isnt who I am
Please dont 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 youre free to go
Go and tell the world my story
Tell about my brother
Tell them about me
