Okay, so I'll eventually work my way through every Savatage song in time but this is yet another brilliant track. This time it's a keyboard intro (I am a sucker for anything on keys) and the gradual build up over the track is amazing.
"Edge of Thorns", the last album that Cris Oliva ever worked on. An absolute masterpiece if you ask me, but I am biased.
I guess it's time to get over it. Move on... stop offering the time.
An offering of reasons
We put them all away
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 of winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that use to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow
And so we end this 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
Closing a chapter, and I'm not letting the lights fade. I'll be turning out the lights myself.
