SAVATAGE LYRICS

1. 24 Hrs. Ago

Behind the wheel just went along
I'm tired of hearing the same old song
Look
I rule the night
No end in sight
I think I'm going insane, oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Got to escape
Can't take any more
I grabbed my suitcase
And kicked down the door
Yeah

I've got blood shot eyes
Hypnotized
I feel no pain
Oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

2. Beyond The Doors Of The Dark

Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find
A thousand worlds for you to see here
Take my hand and follow me, oh

Beyond the doors of the dark
Demon in your heart
Scream and thrash your head
Turn around now you're dead
Under the darkened haze
Lost here in glaze
Are you looking to be free
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

Another day's begun
Under the moon and sun
Circle has been drawn
Life has been prolonged
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

Oh, beyond the doors of the dark yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah

It's time to meet your fate
Heaven can wait
All the walls are closing in
Things crawl on your skin
He's grabbing down at you
There's nothing you can do
No place to run and hide

A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

He wants to take your soul
You know you're dreaming
Call your precious little life under my knife
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die

Never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
No no

3. Legions

A call from the night
metal storming masses
In the lies
Battle cry
Screaming to the night
Oh no
Summon up the legions
To do our deeds
Our legion's needs
Are growing every day

We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved

Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry

Cry out
But what does it matter?
There's no way to escape
The hold we have on you
Oh ho
Controlled by the master
Infiltrate
Penetrate
Your little precious minds

We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved

Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry

Scream loud
Let the masses hear you
Banging hard across the ground
Shatter the darkest lights
Oh no
Heed the master's calling
Congregate
Celebrate
The power you've obtained

Good god
Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Can I hear your battle cry, yeah

4. Strange Wings

She is a native of the stormy skies, yeah
I, I caught a glimpse from the depths of my eyes
Atop a black winged mare
Casting a wicked stare
She throws her head back
And rides into the night

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

Oh I, I followed her
To the brink of dawn, yeah

She, she took control of my very soul, yeah
She's still a mystery
In her arms I long to be
I don't know why
I turn and reach to the sky

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

Strange Wings
Behind a thin disguise
Strange Wings

5. Prelude To Madness

[Instrumental]

6. Hall Of The Mountain King

Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

7. The Price You Pay

I know you're all alone tonight
And I hear your cries
From the world that lies
Beyond these lives
You've got dreams inside
They cut
I know
Cut so deep but you never show
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay

Is your soul on the line my dear
As you take your bows
To a silent crowd
That never hears
Close your eyes for now
And leave your rage
Take my hand and walk the stage

That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay

There's no need to worry
Cause you have tomorrows
Another phase of life has begun
Am I getting through to you?

Can your mind reach beyond tonight
I believe your love for life
Will never die
So my child you ask
What does this mean
Cut the chains and chase the dream

That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
Ooh yeah
That's the price you pay
When you come here to play

8. White Witch

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

9. Last Dawn

[Instrumental]

10. Devastation

Waiting for disaster
Blackness in the night
I roam the world
To hear the cry
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
2000 brings
The untimely end
Of all living things

The Four Horsemen have started their ride
Can you see them in the sky
Glaring down at the ground
Smile on their face
As they commence
The end of the human race

Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

Start your fields afire
Watching them burn
Tomorrow will be
Another world's turn
To win is the end
To be a part of judgment day
We should have listened
To what Christ had to say

Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

What do you say

We all have our chances of living in peace
Now I'm afraid you're in too deep
What can you do when you're a fool
It all goes this way
You should have listened
To what Christ had to say

Total devastation
Prepare yourself to die
This world's insane

No no no no
This world's insane
Oh yeah
No no no no
Stop it

11. Stay

[bonus track]

[Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill]

Hey child
Out on your own
You never look back
Never called home
You never turned round
Tell me the games that you play

Nighttime
Wander the streets
You never give ground
Never retreat
You're always Oz-bound
Have all the dreams been betrayed

Stay
Here where dreams tend to stray
Here you're safe when the night fades away
When the night fades away

Hey there
Oz-refugee
You took the wrong road
Hatters and tea are all that you found
Out on the great white way

Times change
You never did
Life came
You overbid
Join us
Vassals of courvasier

Stay
Here where dreams tend to stray
Here you're safe when the night fades away
When the night fades away
