Savatage - One child

 

Savatage - One child

 

One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain
One child spent his time imagining
And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a...

(chorus)
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave

One child hid inside the darkness
One child never said a thing
One child closed his eyes and disappeared
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper...

(chorus)
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave

(lead break/coda)
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone

(bridge)
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care
I have held on to your words until I found them only air
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding

(coda)
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone

(simultaneously)

I will believe in you We had no choice but to stay and follow
If you still want me to We have nothing left except tomorrow
Or tell me I'm on my own We have nothing left except what will be
There on the other side What we need here are some real decisions
Tell me the Pilate's died While you only offer mindless visions
And we're no longer alone Visions that nobody else here can see

Savatage - Hall of the mountain king

 

Savatage - Hall of the mountain king

 

 

Far away
In a land caught between time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

No no
Say to the world, no

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the mountain king calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refugee here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns, my friends
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

 

Savatage - Sleep

 

Savatage - Sleep

 

 

Hey there you, way out there in the distance
Can you hear me? Are you there?
I know it's late, so please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging, do you care?

So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep

Hey there you, way out there
Could you show me just a signal or a sign?
That after all, all these years that you've known me
And I'm not just wasting time

So lay back, call off the attack
'Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek, a final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep, if I could sleep

And as I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside and pray that I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

Hey, there you way out there in the distance
