A Little Too Far
Do you remember Look at me At all the things we said we'd be We'd beat the house We'd push the odds We'd take it all we had the cards With years to burn And years to trash Livin' life based on flash But somehow reaching for the stars I think we went a bit too far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back When everything you touch turns gold Can weigh you down Can make you old When metal doesn't ring the same Reaction from inside your brain And all the years we offered up To gods who couldn't get enough Though we still stay up all night The mornings aren't quite as bright Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back And all those things we thought we learned As we watch our bridges burn While standing in the afterglow I guess we gave them quite a show And who's to say what it's about When John Wayne caught the last train out And Spock and Kirk have had enough And no one's left to beam me up Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Yeah Oh ho I never meant to take it this far |

Times were changing
Eighteen years and fading Ain't a lot of time left to be a star On an island All alone and dying Walk upon the water But you won't get far Dreams and visions Tied into decisions Saw you on a postcard From the other side Hope and glitter Never feeling bitter Walk upon the water Just to be your bride Don't tell me now That there is nothing more There is a how Just like there is a door And if there's not to be another way You tell me why Why Why Stay and follow If the words are hollow Gotta' go along Cause it's all you got Each day earn them Turn around and burn them Think your fitting in But you hope you're not Neatly drowning Every drink your downing If you drink enough You'll forget the game Each illusion Wrapped in absolution Live your life in weekends But it's not the same Don't tell me now That there is nothing more There is a how Just like there is a door And if there's not to be another way You tell me why Why Why Why |

Don't want to walk upon the water
Don't want to look across the waves Instead of seeing hills of water I just see markers on their graves But in the fading of a season To look across an empty sky For a forgotten childhood reason To once more wish that you could Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god does he remember when We were young and faith was not pretend Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore And in the night he sees the ocean Carve its thoughts upon the shore For in the way it was created It can do this and nothing more And every message it would leave him The next wave carefully erased As the tears that passed between them Were so real that you could Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god and he remembers when We were young and faith was not pretend Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore And all at once the waves were getting Higher And as they crashed I thought I heard them say There'd be a time when men would all be wiser When everyone, everyone, Yes everyone is Saved And as he walked away he thought about That third stowaway once more And wondered if the body had washed up Upon some far and distant shore Or if it sank down through the depths Of cold reality To rest upon the ocean floor For all eternity For at the bottom of the sea The dead do not feel pain And neath the ocean made of tears They never fear the rain But what had really happened Was a stranger twist of fate That the deckhand was to never know But to you I will relate |

Time
Standing all alone I bled for you I wanted to Each drop my own Slowly they depart But fall in vain Like desert rain And still they fall on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view So Drifting through the dark The sympathy Of night's mercy Inside my heart Is your life the same Do ghosts cry tears Do they feel years As time just goes on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view Years come around Men can be found Following orders Years come around Planning is sound Promises made Years come around Tears on the ground Blood stains the borders Leaders abound Chances are down No one's been saved Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong [various international news reports] Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong Drink until you drown What else can i say When you're falling down You seek the ground It's never far away Can you live your life Completely in a fall Until you're found Well underground Your marker very small As my world it keeps on spinning round Have to get away Have to ease the pain I embrace the morphine child And pump it in my veins Burning through my heart Fills in every hole Makes my mind so blissful numb And replaces my soul Every moment drags me further Down down down down down down ... Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view The only reason i have left ... Is you |

So after all these one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand A child alone On your own Retreating Regretful for the things you're not And all dreams you haven't got Without a home A heart of stone Lies bleeding And for all the roads you followed And for all you did not find And for all the things you had to leave behind I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave All I ask of you Believe Your childhood eyes were so intense While bartering your innocence For bits of string Grown-up wings You needed But when you had to add them up You found that they were not enough To get you in Pay for sins repeated And for all the years you borrowed And for all the tears you cried And for all the fears you had to keep inside I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the person I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams And I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can't pay I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe Believe |

Can You Hear Me Now
by Savatage If I closed me eyes Would it all subside To an echo in the night Of a distant fading light Then a stranger's silhouette A burning cigarette And somewhere in the haze A passage through the maze Can you hear me now Or are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through Pull you back somehow That don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling I have walked this stage As the music played They knew every word But they never heard For they never changed It's all very strange As I'm standing here Contemplating years Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow Well that don't happen anymore Still in the night I swear I hear you calling Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow But that don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling |

Complaint In The System (Veronica Guerin)
Written by Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill Welcome to the system Here's the situation It's a bit confusing Welcome to the maze Everybody sees what Everybody wants to Everyone avoids Every other gaze I will be your mentor I'll be your advisor I'll do what I do And you will look away Forgetting what you see Has always been much wiser But someone in the back is missing what I say Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Welcome to the park now We supply amusements Everybody rides But everybody pays What good's causing problems When no one's complaining What good is a martyr If no one is saved Everybody knows us Everybody sees us Every single child Can tell you where we are Every politician Says that we are leaving But in all this time We haven't gone too far Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system You should understand it It's not underhanded It's really quite simple you see The right and the wrong of it Long and the short of it Black and the white of it Forget the sight of it It is so much cheaper To be no one's keeper Trust me In the dead of the night You can stab with a knife But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere So we laugh in delight Till you turn on a light And we scatter for the darkness Or the corners filled with blackness And we're There There There There There There Where Where Where Where Where Where There |

It seemed so far away I keep your picture hidden in a file Of favorite one act plays Like pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea I put it all down in a letter once A letter I don't send It made me feel much better at the time I thought it'd help me mend The pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee, yeah I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea |

Did not believe the things you'd say Now you're gone I don't understand why you'd leave for some distant land Could you ever feel the same I'm calling out your name I still feel the pain Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love Still I look all over for you There's nothing left that I can do, yeah babe You're on the streets You know it's wrong It's not where a woman belongs Better run while you can I'm calling out your name I still feel the pain Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love Why'd you lead me to the door Can I see you anymore Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love |

And do you say your prayer? Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain In the dark I have heard a calling Broken wings that beg to fly Is there time or is it too late Is the cut flower no longer alive Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain Damien Damien Damien Damien |

Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head
"Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires? Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light As the puppets hang upon their wires [Chorus] I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led, dead winter dead Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time To read words from a past you can't remember? Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for If it made sense my friend well then not anymore Every dream I'm told has its December [Chorus] |

And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part I never rushed or pushed my fate When time was tight I knew to wait And circumstance So well disguised Within a gathering of lies And in the dark I lie awake So I can watch you drive your stake What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And in the dark it all unwinds I pray for change The kiss of time And in my thoughts I sit and dwell The labyrinth's there I know it well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And all the things you never heard While in my mind I search for words But time was lost The curtain fell I take my bows and wish you well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs |

Do you suffer
From the fears of growing old Do you wonder What might happen to your soul There is a magic place That just might solve your case And it's just a mystery to the mind The fountain of youth That's where we might find the truth It's gonna put your Head in a rush And the science is working on us Ponce DeLeon In the search for the gold Indian tales Never growing old By the walls and the springs Hear a voice of yesterday sing It's just a mystery to the mind, yeah The fountain of youth That's where we might find the truth It's gonna put your Head in a rush And the science is working on us It is part of the power Power of the night It's where the sun beats down on the ? As they're trying to get it right In tales a magic place I saw the vision of a face It solved the mysteries in my mind Yeah The fountain of youth That's where we might find the truth It's gonna put your Head in a rush And the science is working on us |

Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality Kill the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he's just a fantasy It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another death to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light |

From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark And always takes you in And the mind goes numb 'Till it's feeling no pain And the soul cries out For a handful of rain Wash your women In your whiskey When your future's In the past And you're staring Up at heaven From the bottom Of a glass And you need some insulation From the years you've Had and lost And you feel the perspiration As you're adding up the cost And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out There's a land Beyond the living There's a land Beyond the dead If it's true that God's forgiving Of the lives that we have led In the distance There's a thunder And the air is thick and warm And the patrons Watch with wonder The approaching of the storm And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For a handful of rain |

A solitude of horror in his hours off guard
Nature took her hideous revenge Out of the black abyss came the creeping madness that was his other self Hyde, Hyde A good man to evil From the potion on the table Sampled by mistake But now it's far too late A cause for alarm He can do you harm, Man into beast Prepares for his feast Hyde, Hyde Stalking the neon city Standing in the shadow's Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind Black satin cape Eyes of insane fire Lurking in the darkness A killer on permanent hire For some he's but a tale For others just a legend Madness, myth and magic Worth a warning mention The change has taken place Running from mankind He may be after you In his other state of mind Standing in the shadows Stalking the neon city Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind So if you care to wander In a chemical adventure It might be a mistake The one you shouldn't make. |

I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
If over his little plot he might be king And he finds his present world a little boring There's no land that is so small that it cannot divide So come, I'll draw the line and you just pick your side Ignoring anyone who gives a warning [Chorus] For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleep You never wanted to awaken I have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trail And all I really need right now is you! I see a little man, thinking that he might need more And so his eyes are drifting to the house next door He wonders if his neighbors might be leaving So he makes a little offer that they'll understand There is no point in letting things get out of hand For no one wants to see their widows grieving [Chorus] I am the word without deeds, the lie that exceeds For lies are always most impatient I am the guide for the lost, who never counts cost And all I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! You! You! You! You! You! |

from Savatage - Sirens (1983)
Beyond the skies, rising so high
Set a course for the unknown But I believe there's life out there Somehow we'll find it Countdown begins Our ship will soon launch On its perilous flight to the stars A civilised race, on some distant world We'll find you wherever they are I believe we'll find a new world Can't you see we cannot return? Systems are go as we leave behind A planet that's doomed to end Nuclear wars, the polluted seas Doomsday begins its descent Where do we go? What'll we find? Is there life? Other than mine? I believe For two thousand years we sought and we searched The galaxy's black holes in space Then on the day of 3013 we came upon a race I believe we can survive on this sphere Plotting a course to enter the stratosphere We're finally here, can we survive? A cryosphere I hope there's life I believe We land the ship on a green barren plain Once outside, from a box the voice came: Welcome to Earth May we ask who you are? Our race is called Man The planet is done, done, done, done, done, done, done! Planet is doomed Hands on the moon Forget the tune, yeah Hands of the moon Strike-out at two! Forget the blue! |

from Savatage - Poets And Madmen (2001)
As the steam from the street starts to rise
The gutter whispers That the moon like a child has arrived The dark has missed her And the light that she lends is a guide Among her shadows Like the ghost from the past that survive And you ask me now What is my intent Here among the ruins Cloaked in false pretence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power In the back of your brain How will you see me If you don't know where i hide How will you bleed me If i am somewhere inside In the ashes of empires lost A distant warning On the danger of ignoring cost and children mourning As the memories cloud in our mind The past can glitter And so it has been designed I know every lie That the mind invents Though they're well disguised And cloaked in innocence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power As the darkness descends I seek power And i'll have it again I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power When it's not always wise I seek power For the power survives |

If I Go Away
by Savatage Somewhere on that long lonely road We all stand alone Looking for clues From our different views In the dark I've called out your name It echoes in vain Over again In an empty room If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Staring down a long empty hall Pictures on walls All with your name But it's not the same Searching for the chord I can't hear Been searching for years It's somewhere inside But it's well disguised If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Someday I'll take a chance You find them where you can They tend to slip away Those doors to yesterday Forever is a long time they say Maybe some day I'll meet you there If you've time to spare Tell me then Where I can go Where they won't know Who I have been Can we start again And if I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there |
