Savatage Tribute EP

City Beneath the Surface

Hi welcome to hell you are all here for this where you must dwell sinners and cheats
Sit here with Satan and have all your spirits meet
City beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood
You breathers in this space you never can leave this place

Die we all must die how will you face it when you bend to your knees and cry
Burn like witches burn when will you sinners believe that it's your time to learn?
City beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood
You breathers in this space you never can leave this place

Punished for the way that you lived raping and stealing
Put never one thought to give here forever not a trail or a trace
Total illusions of tales of the unholy place
City beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood
You breathers in this space you never can leave this place

 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

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

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 in the Hall of the Mountain King

Edge Of Thorns

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 there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns but I don't think about you anymore

A study made from 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 there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns but I don't think about you anymore

Doesn't Matter Anyway

It don't matter what you said in the mind of someone, you are now dead
What makes it bad is they're living next door
So you'll need some weapons that's what I'm here for seems you got us a war
AK-47, Tomcat, F-11 hardly ever used, tell me what am I bid you on the back wall, this is it last call
Better buy them now or you'll wish that you did you'll wish that you did
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say doesn't matter anyway

Claymore land mines, anti-personnel kind good for lining borders and they're easy to hide
Bury them in the ground, only one way they're found
Another fine product we deliver with pride swing a deal on the side
M-1's, ammo too - Stinger missiles got a few better get 'em now, while we got 'em in store
Good for a last stand, straight out of Afghanistan
If you never use 'em, you can save 'em till your next civil war because that's what they're for
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say doesn't matter anyway

By The Grace Of The Witch

Alone in the darkness lonely and scared you're in fear of your life
Deadly witch's crystal sensing your fears my spell is cast on you my little dear
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch

Look into my eyes I'm poisoning you I watch as you grovel in my stew
I'm bastardized cursed by sin come on down to hell watch the flames begin
I've got evil on my mind my power so divine my spells cannot be broke until I hang the rope
I am not alive or dead I'm a spirit dressed in red I come from the grave your soul I plan to take
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch

Look into my eyes I'm poisoning you I watch as you grovel in my stew
I'm bastardized cursed by sin come on down to hell watch the flames begin
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
Do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch

Of Rage And War

You got Libya you got the Russians you got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists Nazi skins anarchists when are they gonna learn
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war of rage and war 

Every country's got the bomb the scientists are working on
Chemical weapons to melt the flesh with no source of defence
Shoot me I'll shoot you like there's nothing better to do who's the loser in the end
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war of rage and war 

War broods in foreign lands missiles launch upon command
Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on
Ambassadors who say they try negotiating suicide
Are they prepared to face the end of rage and war
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war of rage and war
