Savatage " Chance "

SAVATAGE    " CHANCE  "

He Was Standing All Alone
Trying To Find The Words To Say
When Every Prayer He Ever Prayed
Was Gone
And The Dreams He's Never Owned
Are Still Safely Tucked Away
Until Tomorrow He Just
Carries On
Carries On
Carries On
Carries On...

See The Devil In The Streets At Night
See Him Running In The Pouring Rain
See Him Grinning 'Neath A Twisted Light
I'll Be Back Again
See The People Standing In A Row
See Them Nodding Like A Field Of Grain
No One Sees The Sickle Though
Coming 'Cross The Plain

And This He Knows If Nothing More
That Waiting In The Dark Like Destiny
Are Those Who Kissed The Dogs Of War
And There Is No Tomorrow
No Tomorrow
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance

See The Devil He Is So Intense
See The Devil Go And Change His Name
What's The Going Price Of Innocence
It Can't Be The Same
Is It Dark When The Moon Is Down
Is It Dark With A Single Flame
If There's Glass Falling All Around
I Am Not To Blame

And This He Knows If Nothing More
That Waiting In The Dark Like Destiny
Are Those Who Kissed The Dogs Of War
And There Is No Tomorrow
No Tomorrow
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance

Burn The Night Away
Burn The Night Away
Burn The Night...

Pictures At An Exhibition
Played As He stood His Trance
Staring At His Inhibitions
All The Time Believing
That It Now Came Down To Nothing
But This Chance
Chance...
Chance...
Chance...

I Fear You
Your Silence
Your Blindless
See What You Want To See
In Darkness
One Kindness
One Moment
Tell Me What You Believe

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

Father Can You Hear Me
This Is Not How Was Meant To Be
I Am Safe And So Are You
As For The Others Destiny

I Believe That Situations
All Depend On Circumstance

Look Away
Look Away
Look Away
Look Away

Pictures At An Exhibition
Played As He stood His Trance
Staring At His Inhibitions
All The Time Believing
That It Now Came Down To Nothing
But This Chance
Chance !
Chance !
Chance !

Immensi, sempre e comunque. Una bandiera dell' heavy metal più raffinato e più suggestivo.
Ho i Savatage nel cuore da sempre e ogni volta che li sento, mi emoziono come se fosse la prima volta. E quando sento canzoni come "Chance", vado in estasi.
Pubblicato a pochi mesi dalla scomparsa del mai troppo rimpianto Criss Oliva (morto il 17 Ottobre del 1993, in un incidente stradale causato da un guidatore ubriaco), fratello del grande Jon Oliva nonchè membro fondatore dei Savatage, "Handful Of Rain" è un album cupo, dove testi sono riflessivi e parlano di vari argomenti importanti (la meravigliosa "Alone You Breathe" è dedicata alla scomparsa di Criss, "Castels Burning" è dedicata a Giovanni Falcone e alla sua lotta alla mafia e via di seguito).
In "Handful Of Rain" suona come amico della band anche il grande Alex Skolnick, maestro della chitarra nonchè membro dei Testament.
Ogni canzone è bellissima e lascia un segno.
Ogni altro commento è superfluo.
