(Submit New Savatage Lyrics) (Submit New Savatage Lyrics) Review about Savatage Masterpies | Reviewer: SavatageLover ------ About the song If I Go Away performed by Savatage this one of the songs i can listen all day long i adore this song riff + lyric +meaning + feeling of the song is amaising i think Savatage must have more attetion this band is one of the best in this genre The End Of An Era | Reviewer: bd ------ About the song If I Go Away performed by Savatage Savatage drove a nail into the coffin of what was know variously as pop-metal, hair rock, butt rock, and even glam with their album "Streets: A Rock Opera" insofar as the genre would offer nothing comparable to follow this 1991 release. Perhaps it is fitting that the end of an era should come through such a seemingly stale format, the rock opera. Taken as a stand-alone single, "If I Go Away" sounds suspiciously like a mandatory power ballad, but at least four other songs from the album could claim that role, as well. In that context, the song would rate a couple stars at best. However, in a more appropriate context, the song is much stronger. The role it plays in conveying the underlying story is a strong one, as our hero reflects on his own potential for self-destruction and wonders what effect he has really had on the world. The musical genre is known more for its superficiality; few power ballads convey true emotion. Yet, Streets might prove to be the band's magnum opus, and its meticulous construction—drawn from a novel manuscript by producer Paul O'Neill—is part of the reason why. "If I Go Away" is a powerful catharsis that defies the genre's treatment of such meter and range. Its enduring strength, like the rest of the album, is its lack of cotton-candy sentimentality. There are no sweet love songs; the human sympathy inherent to this track is more deeply human than they typical faux-romance of the cheesy, career-damaging power ballads brought on by the majority of pop-metal representatives. Still, there are stronger appeals in the power ballad form. The album's closing tracks, "Somewhere In Time" and "Believe", are both stronger than one might expect, and although these songs exploit familiar chords and intervals, they still deliver, after all these years, a certain melodic and lyrical strength that defies expectation. Streets remains among my favorite albums, and "If I Go Away" is near the heart of its endurance. All in all, it's a three-star song with heavy earworm potential. On the one hand, beware of that. To the other, enjoy it. "Eargasm" | Reviewer: Alitare ------ About the song Morphine Child performed by Savatage One of the best songs off of the Poets And Madmen album. a 10 minute epic. Savatage is a wonderful band who is showing amazing skill 7 years after the tragic death of Jon Oliva's Brother the Guitarist. the spotlight's final flickering | Reviewer: Chuggy ------ About the song When the Crowds Are Gone performed by Savatage every sad word, and each sullen note of this unrecognized masterpiece; it just makes me feel as tho it was written especially for me... a now broken soul, once surrounded by so much love: just a lonely piano under a single spotlight surrounded by darkness and all of it's current emptiness... no one to play it, yet sounding alone... dancing a stationary dance of one's overwhelming sadness, with nothing but a cigarette wasting away in an ashtray on top, and bittersweet memories for accompaniment... each chord falling on empty seats and deaf ears... keys tickled by the frozen fingers of a forgotten ghost with head hung low, and leaking tears onto the stage. Savatage - Hounds | Reviewer: Tim ------ About the song Hounds performed by Savatage another absolutly amazing song from the Gutter Ballet album, from one of the greatest, yet most underrated bands ever, Savatage. RIP Criss M. Oliva Gutter Ballet | Reviewer: mystery ------ About the song Gutter Ballet performed by Savatage Dude gutter ballet rocks it makes me wanna head bang . The guitar solo is amazing Incredible song | Reviewer: Aisling Grey ------ About the song Power of the Night performed by Savatage The very first time I heard this song was in a movie from the 1980s called "Critters". And the person who sang the theme was Terrence Mann, who did an absolutely fantastic job. Savatage does a great job, but I feel that Terrence Mann does a much better job. He puts such emotion and raw energy into the song that it's hard not to love his voice. The lyrics are captivating and the music fast paced and worthy of such energy. I'd definitely give this song 20 stars if I could. i think something is wrong | Reviewer: Ahmed ------ About the song Chance performed by Savatage i think in the 9th stanza where he says "I believe in nothing Never really had to In regards to your life Rumors that are not true Who's defending evil Surely never I Who would be the witness Should you chance to die" i think thats it is Leave you chance to die not Should You chance to die Fantastic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Savatage Half way between rock and metal their music is...

Savatage Poets and Madman | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the album Poets And Madmen performed by Savatage I'm one of the great admirer and lover of all the works of savatage and this album brings all it to me, the good music and the good lyrics and great enhancements of savatage after the leaving of Zachary. Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Castles Burning performed by Savatage The song ROCKS! It reminds me of a metaphor for a war veteran trieng to cope with the atrocities of war and finally committing suicide. But I didn't write the song, so I can't say waht the exact meaning is, but the vocals are delivered with conviction, and the whole musical structure is superb. This is a band that should have been selling millions of records in the 80's not Warrant or Trixter, or Slaughter. Savatage matured into a very talented band, this song is proof. gutter ballet | Reviewer: rachel williams (14) ------ About the song Gutter Ballet performed by Savatage A brilliant song!!!!!!!!!!!
