Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
You know you ain't going anywhere You spend all your time singing your blues You know you ain't going anywhere You've always been a good friend of mine Your heart it bids farewell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself Or is that what you're trying to do? Put up the fight you believe to be right And one day the sun will shine through You've always got something to hide Something you just can't tell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah You know what you're wishing for Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world, yeah You've always been a good friend of mine Your heart it bids farewell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah No, everybody has a dream, yeah Oh no, no, no, oooh I wish you well, yeah I know, know All you're looking for is love |

Heart beat is rapid
Your blood pumping faster Hands reach for the blade Touch her Feel her Your body it craves her She leads you to your grave She's an image all dressed all in white No, you know you want her now Casting a spell Her power on you You'd leave but you don't know how White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control Wrapped and enraging I use to maintain it Do you want some more? Give her your money Sell her your soul The deadliest of whores Wicked white demon Is staring at you Controlling all that you say and you do Sweating intensely The music's much loader On the glass is a poison powder White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control She is now your only master Your whole life's a complete disaster Don't you dare Let her in As your final chore White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control Taking my soul Taking control |

When The Crowds Are Gone
by Savatage I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone All my friends have been crucified Made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive, my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone When the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing the saddest song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn 'em on again 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 persons 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 I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay Turn 'em on again (repeat) I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play The parts I play And the light Turn then off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see |

The lights come on
The set is down The curtain's flown away To all you creatures of the night I say it's time we play We'll show you things That in your life You'd never dreamed you'd know So now before the ghosts arrive It's welcome to the show Minstrels, kings, explorers Fantasies on order Ghosts and dreams awakened Stories long forsaken The minstrel and the sorcerer Are switching their disguise The jester drinks and starts to think That he alone is wise The governor and journalist Exchange a judas kiss And now before the song is done The plot begins to twist Ghosts and lost explorers Fate with all her daughters Saints and hopeless sinners Wise men in their winters Know Welcome to the show Welcome to the show Welcome to the show Welcome to the show His life was nearly over As he stood upon the beach Thinking about death and the ocean While still safely out of reach And he held there in his hand A well worn hourglass And though the sand was still inside Soon this too would pass Then he knelt to touch the water Where the waves would gently fall Thinking here I touch the ocean And the ocean touches all For from a line of countless sailors He was the last man of his kind And the world had changed around him He had no mountains left to climb And his last name was Magellan A descendant of the same Or so he said in late night bars Though few believed his claim And so he now talked with the ocean As he had often done before But now the waves spoke back to him As he walked along the shore For eighty years plus seven He had been upon this earth And all of them but eight He'd spent on that ocean since his birth But he was not the only one Who walked along this coast There was a lady old and pale To some nearly a ghost She had once been a great beauty It was rumored in some bars When she'd left here many years before To become a movie star But every wish is not to be Ahh this in time she learned And when her final chance had passed Back here she had returned And everyday at six o'clock She came to a small cafe And had herself a glass of wine And then she'd walk away To others she was gray and old Not the beauty she'd been before But it did not matter what she was What mattered was what he saw And so for near three years now He'd watch her everyday And though they always were so close He felt so far away For he could never quite arrange The words inside his mind That he could say to make her stay And he was running out of time He could not find the words to say To such a work of dreams And so he watched her walk away And always stayed unseen |

Out of control don't need no more I'm feeling mean dressed in leather It's a screamer City nights Trashing all the sites When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Alright All the king's horses And all the king's men Could never put me back together again I guess the action wins How could this all begin? It is time for just one more line When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out I'm washed out It is time for just one more line When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out |

The warrior stands alone Visions of the fighting past A thousands tales are told Immortal Let the battles of street life begin Don some leathers and chains They live their life And they feel their own pain The times that is chilling their bones And they can't get away Alone in the cold Watching night turn into day Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world On the streets they are roaming the night Out to claim their domain One more Pointless battle With nothing to gain And life is a hell for them Living with the shadows of death Scratching and clawing Till no souls are left Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world They call the streets of hell their home They're not alone A thousands tales are told The streets of hell their home Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world |

Chills rattle through my bones The way she looks it shocks me Standing at the door that leads below There's a light at the end of the hall Can I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual In a daze I turn to run A thousand steps to her arms Does she really want to touch me I see it in her eyes See it in her eyes No I follow through very slowly When I get there she's gone She's unusual So unusual I know some things can't be right Ghostly visions of delight She tells me of a better life The way she looks it blows my mind silhouette cast in time Temptress of the night is calling me Does she really want to touch me I can see it in her eyes Snakes of fire hypnotize her Seductress of lost lives There's a light at the end of the hall CAn I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual She's unusual So unusual |

Each man has a soul
That struggles to escape And in the shallows of his dreams We can often see its wake For we all have our secrets That we all keep deep inside Away from light, in darkest night Where it's always safe to hide Away from all that we should meet Less someone else should share That thing that hides inside our soul That we pray was never there And out upon that ocean A lifetime from the shore Miguel stood his night watch Recalling everything he saw For he was a deckhand Aboard the "maersk dubai" He had sailed her round the world From hamburg to sendai But this trip had been different More than any he had known For on board there was an evil And the evil had been shown For halfway through this voyage They had found two stowaways That the captain had thrown in the sea And left them to the waves And when he tried to close his eyes And pretend he did not know The evil did not go away But used the time to grow For later on that same trip They found a stowaway once again But the captain soon met this one too And brought him to the same cold end He wondered what that boy thought inside Before that final sleep When water was all that was around And his lungs had screamed breathe deep He wondered what went through his mind As he gasped for air And the last moment when he prayed for help To find nobody there He wondered to himself If he could have been the one To stand up at that moment And say this cannot be done To stand up to the captain And say this thing it cannot be But there is nothing closer to god on earth Than a captain on the sea And he was just a deckhand With no right to plead the case Of this stranger in their midst And so he kept his place And what is done is done And undone cannot be And so he pushed it from his mind And stared out across the sea |

Looks in the mirror And sees what she wanted to be Safely unknown To anyone near her She sees what she wanted to see And turns to me And turns to me And turns to... She was prophesied For an early slide Followed it to the letter Well kept beauty queen If there, always seen Still you thought she'd know better No erasing The time you're wasting But when you're wasting You don't care All those pieces In short term leases But when you need them They're not there For all those moments of yesterday She's traded every tomorrow And now all those moments are so far away Ghosts haunt each word she would say As she walks among the decay She had Oscar Wilde's Timeless sense of style As had been her intention Still she was afraid Time must be repaid And there'd be no redemption Youth and time collide She could not decide On a certain direction Time was catching up Carefully made up She avoided detection For all those moments of yesterday She's traded every tomorrow And now all those moments are so far away I saw it too Closer than you What else is there left to say Wait for me now I will be there for you This I will vow If you still want me to But it won't be This I have always known And in the dark There's no one to pray for me now I don't understand what I'm feeling tonight I don't understand but I'm waiting Searching the shadows that fade in the light But I'm feeling alive Trying to survive Float with the tide Till you arrive and I.... |

Troubled dreams
Of a wandering nomad Damned to be all by myself I travelled far Following bright stars Through the endless desert sands Starring off into the sky Down on Myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go Leave me be Why must I please them When I can't even please myself Deep in thoughts But I still feel so Lost in endless despair Starring off into the sky Down on myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go As you soon realize The nights so black I feel blind Should I keep wandering on On and on and on There's just one thing you should know No I can't take it no more Two wrongs don't make it right Right or wrong I can't take it And in the end you will find Find me a peace of mind Forever lost Severing my thoughts From the dream I must seek Time to end This aggravation The nomad spirit lives in me [Chorus] |

Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time The price you have to pay Won't get away! Sworn in by the stand Your rights are gone The system's banned They think you are a liar A trial by FIRE! HEY! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire! Locked in an empty cell Your life becomes a living hell The river of fire flows Time only knows! Trapped by flames of fury Ordered onto by the jury Death is their desire Thrown in the fire! Hey! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire Quiver by the fiery light Cringing as your soul ignites The book of law's been thrown away starting today! The system before the war Is gone for now and ever more There is no sentence higher A TRIAL BY FIRE! Hey! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire! DAMAGE |

See the sun as the day is done
Life is of the broken ones Some will stray as time will come Al their lives, the live it well Red man proud and giving hell Some stand and shining tall Can you hear them call? See the sun as it's setting still Tears fall from a warrior Damn those who I feel Set a trail to the promised land Mother and child holding hand in hand Through the snow or through the sands All across the land... Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears |

Nighttime again
Seems I'm my only friend Wander the streets alone The lost in search of his own Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets just staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend But no one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again It's cold this pain It's burning inside my veins I walk away A shadow of Dorian Gray Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend No one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again Oooh, livin' on the... edge |

I was born into a womb so insane
Over crowded as we share the same veins You will not be... More man than me... I... will not be the other... I am the one... the chosen son Who devours and smothers Violence is not the way... What am I anyway... Implantation as they ripped us apart Joined together cause we share the same heart You will not be... More man than me... You... will not be the other... I am the one... the chosen son Who devoured his brother... Hurt... help... hell... And now you will see... that we will be Always... together as one Always together as... one Will not be half a man We're joined together as... one The dominant son, who was joined as one Always wonders why The unborn son, who lives inside his head Can never die Violence is not the way... Damaging vows I take... The one who was built of rage Bow down before I Prayed forgiveness From the father above Joined together But not bonded by love I will not be... More man than he... We... will not have each other... I am the one... the burden son Who devoured his brother... Hurt... help... hell... And now you will see... that we will be Always... together as one Always... together as one Will not be half a man... We're joined together as... one... |

Yeah! The way I feel, seems to me to be so real
So sick and tired you know just how I feel Cops they dress in black, they bid their lives The bribes they stack, so sick and tired Of the same old this and that The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I dont know, that's the way that it makes me feel! The man I most resent You might know him through the goverment He'll tax our lives the money's spent He's just the president!!! The land of liberty for all mankind and all to see What's the use, laws a conspirasy The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I dont know, that's the way that it makes me feel! Searching for answers to make life complete No need to searc for more questions There for you to see! The wars that we must fight You dodge the draft before you drive So sick and tired, why can't they realise The rights they sympathise So sick and tried, why can't we live our lives The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I dont know, that's the way that it makes me feel! |

Thinking about yesterday
And how my life used to be Now I'm locked inside this place I'm a schizophrenic case All the faces I now see Never show a sign of glee Every night we start to bustle It's time to do the Thorazine shuffle It's the Thorazine shuffle Everyday half past four They push my food through the door Every night right at eight They put me back into my straight All the paintings I have made They look kind of strange Every night we start to hustle It's time to do the Thorazine shuffle It's the Thorazine shuffle |

But that was long before The nights began to burn You would have thought we'd learned You can't make promises All based upon tomorrow Happiness, security Are words we only borrowed For is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what god has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last We nailed it to the past With every word a trap That no one can take back From all the architects Who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night Has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers?

Please understand this isn't what we meant A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city I'm not coming back anymore Not coming back anymore Is this the answer to our prayers?

Here on this night
Behind walls made of stone Where no one can enter and The dark dreams alone But now someone's entered The walls are defied The shadows they watched While the dark sympathized But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes The mind can imagine The dark can deceive And here on this night Together they weave A shadow's repentance A forgotten life All brought together In the mercy of night But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes |

The tighter that it gets enables only my eyes to see Truth through all the dust, twisted lies, which you decree System unjust, you will never bend my knees The broken and the blessed both sides try to preach to me Social unrest, who labeled me the enemy In pieces shall we rest, for those who choose not to believe So put me to the test, who wrote those pages of history? Subject to another threat, living without regrets Pay the price with my death, the persecuted won't forget I cannot breath, you watch the pain suffocating me, lie lies I cannot breath, you watch me bleed suffocating me Can't break away my heart still beats unsevered My soul be saved amen condemned forever I've been awakened can't be mistaken The lessons beseech you break free from the noose The noose around my neck cinched in tight relentlessly The tighter that it gets, my heart still beats but I can't breath In pieces shall we rest, for those who chose not to believe Liberty in death, after all is said you won't break me Subject to another threat, living without regrets Pay the price with my death, the persecuted won't forget |

We're gonna take you backThrough the pages of the pastJust another lonely boyI could laugh and playAnd live in any other wayThen the devil took my soulThe fortune and the fameI knew I was not the sameAnd I know I'd never returnLooking at the skyI knew I would never dieAnd forever shining throughWish the sky would sayThat blue would turn to greyAnd I know I'd be thereLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no one stays the sameTurn the pages back in timeThrough the chapters in my mindLife's too short to leave behindIt's too lateLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no oneKnows my name

from Savatage - The Wake Of Magellan (1998)
Standing alone by the edge of a river
He's traded his life for a glass full of tears The bargain was quick for one's life is less dearer When the sand's running out and the ending is near The ending is near The ending is near The ending is... The man climbed aboard and set sail for the ocean He put on the mast all the canvas she'd take Then laid himself down on the deck neath the tiller The ship was his coffin this moment his wake Runaway reasons Runaway seasons Time is a treason That I give back to you now The wind touched the sail and the ship moved the ocean The wind from the storm set the course she would take From a journey to nowhere towards a soul on the ocean From the wake of magellan to magellan's wake Runaway reasons Runaway seasons Everything in it Hours and minutes You take tomorrow Because it means nothing To me To me To ... In the dark he heard a whisper Asking him to understand In the desert look for water On the ocean look for land In the dark he heard a whisper Asking him to understand In the desert look for water On the ocean look for land And there in the waves Was a man in his grave That he saw in the night 'Tween the flashes of light And he Could not be there And all he had prayed Or had given away He now found to be wrong In the grip of the storm And he Could not be there Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more And all at once the heavens bled their fire The anchor broke the chains they flew away And suddenly the waves were reaching higher And in the dark I thought I heard them say Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more Everything I ever had for one more tomorrow Everything I ever had for just one more night And if this is not to be I pray could I borrow Just another final hour onto my life Did you ever really want to Did you ever really want to Lord, tell me how it will be Lord, tell me how it will be Standing once more by a boat on a river He pushes it off while he stays on the land And seeing the hourglass now so much clearer Which someone had refilled by hand And somewhere that boat's now adrift on the ocean The mast at full sail and there's no one on board The hourglass no longer sits by the ocean Only his footprints all alone on the shore And soon they're no more No more No more |

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Children of the night They큥e howling at black skies The ruthless calls within For the haunting now begins Stay away from the shining light Can큧 seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Hear the screams, screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! |

False leaders crowned, a world of mass destruction
Can't wash the lies away death messiah to whom people pray Election day spitting bullshit to the enslaved Make them believe compromised insanity The time is now, rise up from destitution We won't lay down, resist the persecution Inspired hate controlled by endless faith Sins washed away the bloody shores of humanity Unholy war, mankind is blind and bleeding Indoctrinate, shatter all of the people's faith The time is now, rise up from destitution We won't lay down, resist the persecution The time is now, rise up from destitution We won't lay down, resist the persecution I will fight relentlessly I stand tall defiantly I see what you cannot see I invoke the beast in me I fear not the agony I breathe hope inside of thee I will kill the enemy I fulfill my destiny A swarm of death engulfs the sky forever Blocks out the sun, the desecration of salvation The end is near, elected false messiah Plan put in gear, the formation of damnation The time is now, rise up from destitution We won't lay down, resist the persecution The time is now, rise up from destitution We won't lay down, resist the persecution Eyes, see, hands bleed Set, free, the formation of damnation |

The sky began to fall, ripping open a path up to Heaven
Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh Steel crumbling frames, the scales of justice are decimated Hate ignites the flames, New York city incinerated See the flames on the river, is this our judgement day? Praying hands of a killer when evil flies our way Our way The towers got hit, a steel bird with wings of destruction As the building split, the skyline has been deconstructed So many people killed, two thousand nine hundred and seventy four Innocent blood spilled, extremist plotting a holy war See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day? Time to stand and deliver when evil flies our way Flies our way We will pick up the pieces We never cast the first stone Through all the bereavement We will rebuild our home The sky began to fall, ripping opening a path up to Heaven Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day? Time to stand and deliver when evil flies our way Flies our way |

Down in the dungeons
Of concrete and terror Candles light the way Can you hear me say? The dungeons are calling The dungeons are calling for me I can't escape This den must be hell Pleasures of freedom Denied me in this cell I steal from my friends Victims of my pain Its nearing the end I live like the dead The dungeons are calling Calling for me--oh! The dungeons are calling The rack waits for me Down in the dungeons I'm locked away Suicide ride I take everday Prisoner in hell Victim in pain The dungeons are calling for me None of my friends Want to come out and play They think i'm crazy But what can i say? Prisoner in hell Victim in pain It's nearing the end I live like the dead The dungeons are calling Calling for me The dungeons are calling The rack waits for me |

Back in time the punishment
Was burn all you witches burn Some mothers burned, burned alive Hear the children cry... Children Crying... mothers dying... Some would die the innocent Some would die a whore Some so scared the children fled Confused by this world Why... they don't want to Burn... alive... Caught in the burning times When all the witches died Still hear the children crying The burning times... Some say when you float a witch You set free their soul I've always said... burn the bitch My spoken words of old Why... they don't want to Burn... alive Caught in the burning times When all the witches died Still hear the children crying The burning times... Back in time the punishment Was burn all you witches burn Some paid the price of their crimes Caught in the burning times Why... they don't want to Burn... alive... Caught in the burning times So many people died Still hear the children crying The burning times... Caught in the burning times Caught in the burning times Caught in the burning times |

I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away I pray to see another day My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay Restrained to meet again My friend do you think that we ever will I know we are free... The games are played with your life on the line Some lose, you win if you keep on trying I don't mind doing time, I'm happier being alive Now I know the means to my opression were all lies The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned I know we are free... I've been robbed, I've been fooled I intend now to make my own rules Dagger's edge cut the line, I've been down that road too many times What's to fear, fear no more Show my conscience what fears's for Now I know this is so real What's done is done so do as you will! I'm keeping alive! Go on, no don't look back Just realize where you've gone Where are you going to, no lifes not done with you You're only just begun, to live your life! for you... |

Cast away by darkness
It's time to let you know Voices of many soldiers Arise ten thousand thrones They're just turned away, they're told that they're OK The spread of chemical warfare Destroyed the human race Life is darkening, sickening Endless conscious slumber ten thousand thrones Paralyzed, depression Schizophrenic minds New born retardation A war they're born to fight Life is darkening, sickening Endless conscious slumber ten thousand thrones Cancerous tumor invading the mind Leaving behind Ashes are burning that fall from the sky Politically devine Honor the code and defending the line Pretentious lies The fighting of war is shattering lives The death of mankind Why have we forgotten A war the holocaust What is the solution Ten thousand lives were lost |
