    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
    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 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
    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
    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
    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
    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...

    The band's last great masterpiece. After that, it was literally over. The albums that came later, I have to hunt for a good song or two. And it seems that they already felt that because the end of this song is so beautiful, so epic, so fabulous that it makes you want to cry. As if it was a farewell, which actually happened to Portnoy. Say what you want, but when Dream Theater made songs like this, there was no competition, there was no other option but to bow your head and revere the genius of the greatest Prog Metal band on the planet.

      From What I Can Tell, It's Based On A Story Of When John Patrucci Meant Sebastiano Capponi, Who Told Him About How Hannibal Lectar Is Partially Based On His Brother, Niccolò, And How WWII Soldiers Hid In Wine Barrels In His Basement Which They Never Managed To Get Out Of, As Well As, If The Song Is To Be Believed (I Can't Find Any Outside Source For This) Showing Him An Altar With Behind It The Body Of A Saint, These, Naturally, Lead To Him Being Quite Scared, And (Again Basing This Solely On The Song) When Sebastiano Noticed, He Tried To Reassure Him, Saying He Wasn't Going To Kill Him And He's Free To Go, And Even Suggesting He Tell People About This Occurance, Which He's Done Via This Song.

    muy buen tema. en algunas canciones dream theater sonaba como una banda de deaath metal, pero se fue arreglando siendo un poco mas melodica y eso los salvo en la fama. pero john petrucci conoce mucho de musica, jordan tambien, ellos fueron evolucionando mucho. el mejor album para mi es el de a dramatic turn of events, le sigue el de dream theather. es un grupo unico donde meten partes clasicas en heavy metal, las partes en la guitarra en clean son muy buenas, hay que tener mucha creatividad y conocer mucho de musica para lograr una isnpiracion asi .
