No life so short it can't turn around
You can't spend your life living underground Far from above you don't hear a sound And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see No life so short that it never learns No flame so small that it never burns No page so sure that it never turns And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see Can you live your life in a day? Putting every moment in play? Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around Tell me if you win would it show? In a thousand years who would know? As a million lives come and go on the same piece of ground I've been waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but it is what you see Tell me would you really want to See me leave this night without you Don't you ever look about you? Wandering where we might be New York is so far away now Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow Only dreams from here, but somehow One day that world we will see I've been waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but it is what you see, what I see (I don't understand...) I swear on tomorrow if you take this chance Our lives are this moment, the music, the dance And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries I close my eyes on this night And you're all that I see You're all that I see |

51 posts | Savatage finally changes the ballad formula they had been following since "Somewhere in Time" and "Believe" and what results is one of the most memorable songs of the band's career. The lyrics are smartly applicable outside of the album's story and yet fit within the story wonderfully--a man telling a woman that he's not what she thinks he is, the melody is interesting but stays within the comfortable range of Zak Stevens--which is quite small. And within that range, Stevens is as good a singer as there is for progressive metal, with his operatic, powerful delivery. What really makes the song pop is the incredible overlapping melodic vocals near the end--there's nothing better. |
