    several years ago
    in a foreign town
    far away from home
    i met the count of tuscany
    a young excentric 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'll recall
    a cannonball 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
    ??
    an ancient world where time's gone by

    "let me introduce
    my brother"
    a bitter 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 wanna die
    suddenly i'm frightened for my life
    i want to say goodbye
    this could be the last time you see me alive
    i may not survive
    knew it from the moment we arrived

    "would you like to see
    a secret holy place
    i come here late at night
    to pray to him by candlelight"
    then viewing 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
    soldiers came to hide
    barrels filled with wine
    never to escape
    ?? is where they died

    down the cellar stairs
    i disappear
    like a ?
    the end is near
    "come and have a taste
    of rare vintage
    of the finest wines
    improved with age"

    i want to stay alive
    everything about this place just doesn't feel right
    i don't wanna die
    suddenly i'm frightened for my life
    i want to say goodbye
    this could be the last time you see me alive
    i may not survive
    knew it from the moment we arrive

    (instrumental)

    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
    (i just don't understand)

    give me one more chance
    and let me please explain
    it's all been circumstance
    i 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 will 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'em about my brother
    tell'em about me
    the count of tuscany
