| [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! |
