[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!
