Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

 
Μπορεί το Hall of the Mountain King να είναι ένα καλόπιστο κλασικό metal άλμπουμ, αλλά το Streets: A Rock Opera - κυκλοφόρησε στις 4 Οκτωβρίου 1991 - μπορεί να είναι η καλύτερη στιγμή των Savatage από μουσική άποψη.

Βασισμένο σε μια ροκ όπερα με το όνομα Gutter Ballet (δεν πρέπει να συγχέεται με το ομώνυμο άλμπουμ των Savatage του 1989) αφηγείται την ιστορία ενός ροκ σταρ που είχε δυσκολες στιγμες. Μετατρέπεται σε έμπορο ναρκωτικών, αλλά τελικά βρίσκει το δρόμο της επιστροφής. Η τελευταία μπαλάντα της ιστορίας, το"Believe"είναι μια εκρηκτική, συγκινητική και απολύτως καταπληκτική στιγμή.

Tune of the Day, Savatage - This is the Time

Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands

And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads
And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid

(chorus)
But this is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

We placed our years in the hourglass, they were

never unearned
And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn
(chorus)
But this is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be
(solo)
(chorus)
This is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

Dead Winter Dead is a concept album by Savatage, released in 1995

Savatage - Heal My Soul

Όταν οι σκιές μεγαλώνουν στούς τοίχους τότε έχουμε ιστορίες να σας πούμε ..
Travellers Stories

I've been waiting, long forgotten
Shipwrecked on a distant shore
Am I drifting, no more wanted
Floating outward evermore

All the dreams that I have harbored
In the labyrinth of my soul
Gone forever
Not discarded
Only sleeping
Till they're whole

In the graveyard of my heart now
Sleep the years that I've long sold
For their markers is there nothing
Only ghost I cannot hold

And Father hear me
I am tired
Shall I waken
In thy home

And hold me closer
I am trying
Sweet Lord Jesus
Heal my soul
