Песня: The Count of Tuscany
[Verse 1:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Let me introduce my brother
A bearded gentleman, historian
Sucking on his pipe, distinguished accent
Making me uptight, no accident

[Chorus:]
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place just doesn't feel right
I, 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
I, I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived

[Verse 2:]
Would you like to see our secret holy place?
I come here late at night to pray to him by candle light
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place just doesn't feel right
I, 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
I, I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3:]
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

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

Перевод песни:
Граф Тосканский

[Куплет 1:]
Несколько лет назад в чужом для себя городе,
Вдали от своей родины, я встретил Графа из Тосканы.
Молодой эксцентричный человек королевских кровей
Взял меня в поездку по открытой местности.
"Садитесь ко мне в машину, давайте прокатимся,
По пути я побуду вашим гидом, просто залезайте внутрь...
...Может, вы помните куратора-каннибала,..... [открыть перевод]
