Over 20 years, 11 albums and hundreds of performances around the globe, Savatage’s dynamic music - which mixes elements of thrash, progressive, power metal and classic hard rock- earned the band a passionate cult following. Founded in Tampa, Florida by brothers Jon and Criss Oliva, Savatage saw their many musical triumphs overshadowed by personal tragedy. Albums such as 1987’s “Hall of the Mountain King” - their first of eight collaborations with producer and mentor Paul O’Neill - and 1991’s riveting “Streets: A Rock Opera” continue to be celebrated to this day. The death of Criss Oliva on the heels of the breakthrough success of 1993’s “Edge of Thorns” altered the group’s trajectory considerably. The band experienced a renaissance with their 1995 album “Dead Winter Dead” and continued to display a flair for theatricality of their own on their final two albums. An epic reunion performance at 2015’s Wacken Festival before 80,000 fans showed proof that the crowds will never be gone.
Lyrics / Letras An offering of reasons We put them all in play A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you here before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made for winter Of summers long ago And dreams that used to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end the chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you here before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you anymore Anymore
The arbiters of plastic metal, I still rather listen to the 90´s version of overrefined plastic metal than any of todays elevator BS. Somewhat wish one could go back in time and prevent even the advent of the garbage they produce today.
Such an underrated band! Very sad and haunting lyrics... Kinda applies to anyone old and worn out looking back on what was and what could have been but also excepting the end is near and the race has been ran... They had the total package, song writing, vocals, instrumentals, all of it!
WOW! I came accross this song after listeing to som classic Fates Warning and this popped up in the feed. I remember Savatage and liked 2 or 3 songs but never got into them. This song was killer!
