Savatage - Chance Lyrics






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

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 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 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

Burn the night 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

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

Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood in his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
Nothing but this chance

  1. E.... K....

    Like metallica singing queen

  2. G.... L....

    Quem ta ouvindo esse som em 2020?

  3. C.... F....

    This song is so epic.

  7. T.... Z....

    Oh my goodness i havent heard it in more than 20 years! High school years 😄😄

  8. H.... ....

    Heavy metal's Bohemian Rhapsody

  9. T.... E....

    This is the best metal genre gets. Black death, industrial, glam you name it. Nothing tops this.

  10. T.... K....

    2019. Still need CHANCE :))

  11. B.... J....

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra played this at the show I went to in New Orleans last year

  12. i.... k....

    Masterpiece!

  13. D.... ....

    cam here because of Van Williams ( Nevermore/Ghost Ship Octavius ) he did this cover

  14. G.... D....

    This song is a masterpiece, incredible arrangements, harmony and melody. It’s complex but nice for simple ears.

    Sad seeing that they didn’t the deserved success even arise TBO. They are the exact proof that popular success doesn’t mean quality or meritocracy. The world of music is treacherous when we assess because some bands so limited hit great popularity and sell huge quantities of their albums , despite show awful talent. Everything depends on the moment, good managers, investment by industry and mostly the prompted moment of popular taste. Savatage would be huge if was created during 70’s.

  15. D.... M....

    2019 and still no sign of something like this on the music this days

    D.... M....

    One day my friend i will amass a group of people willing to do this

    Until then

    From Australia

    *Stay fucking brutal*

    D.... M....

    Tons, Bro. What shit are you listening to? While Heaven Wept - The Furthest Shore, Edguy - The Piper Never Dies, Wintersun - Sons Of Winter and Stars, Atlantean Kodex - The Course of Empire... We are graced by more amazing music than ever before!

  16. W.... J....

    One the of the best metal bands ever and without a doubt the NICEST! First met them in 1988 - Hall of the Mountain King tour in Maryland when I worked in radio. Now I live in their exact neighborhood and I still make sure to visit Criss's grave a couple of times a year.

  17. G.... M....

    SAVATAGE MEETS QUEEN

  18. W.... ....

    Yo conpre este disco apenas salio , aca se encuentra nada mas y nada menos que el guitarrista de testament ALEX SKOLNIK !!!!!

  19. �.... �....

    1:07 to 2:16 is intense like boss fight music

  20. K.... Q....

    For all You haters that dislike this video.....You come to this country, take advantage of the system and think because we are tolerant that we are weak and helpless. Your arrogance offends me. I will find you, and I will kill you.

  21. K.... C....

    This song sustained me after the deaths of two friends on the anniversary of Criss Oliva's passing.

  22. M.... H....

    Why dont motherfuckers nowadays make such music?

  23. E.... B....

    This has been one of my favorite bands since 1987. First album I ever heard*sirens*

  24. T.... H....

    still great in 2019

    T.... H....

    Still great ever

  25. B.... J....

    You all know Savatage is pretty much Trans-Siberian Orchestra

  26. D.... S....

    ΕΠΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΣ

    2019 :::

  29. E.... B....

    Honestly, Savatage didn't just produce "songs", they produced pieces of art

  30. K.... J....

    After hearing this whole album and all their other albums I ask myself why these guys aren’t as popular as other metal bands

    K.... J....

    Because they experimented, people like predictable music

  31. C.... C....

    Is this jon or the other singer

  32. A.... S....

    105 dislikes. Really. Get the FUCK outta here. This band. This album. A solid fuckin 10. So awesome. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  33. I.... ....

    Heard TSO play this tonight.

    I.... ....

    because TSO is Savatage reborn, chris, johnny, and even zac stephens are in this band, they may be in different tour groups but TSO is savatage just reborn into a new light

  34. D.... W....

    Anyone going to see TSO this year?

  35. T.... ....

    When I first heard the chanting part I may have died.

  36. j.... b....

    My best song....

  37. S.... ....

    Masterpiece

  38. C.... R....

    Right bro? This dude made an anthem!!!! This is hard!!!!

  39. C.... R....

    Man......this guy is an underrated genius.... Aw my God he awesome!!!!!!!

  40. S.... S....

    its great

  41. D.... A....

    2018 STILL LISTENING TO THIS ... HIT LIKE IF YOU WITH ME ..

  42. y.... ....

    Eargasm stuff!

  43. d.... ....

    This is my favorite song of all time. Just labeling it "epic" doesn't even begin to describe it. Musicality, lyricism, phrasing, layering, tonal shifts... Criminally underrated.

  44. s.... f....

    I don't like only after the part that becomes babbler. They could avoid this part.

  45. j.... r....

    Epic theme

  46. b.... ....

    this is legit one of the greatest musical master pieces ever made

  47. M.... T....

    Yıl olmuş 2018 hala aynı tadı alarak dinliyorum, yok böyle bir parça abi valla yok, bu bence tüm zamanların en iyi rock şarkısı, efsane diyorum başka da birşey demiyorum

  48. n.... a....

    91 Justin Bieber fan disliked this

  49. Z.... F....

    Classic stoner song!

  50. N.... M....

    Am I the only one who notices the clear influence by Queen in this song?

  51. P.... B....

    this most be taught to all bands this days... savatage you are heroes....what a performance

  52. J.... M....

    86 Mainstream Idiots Who Didn't Give This Song Or Savatage A *Chance* And Will Never Know What Real Music Is..

  53. S.... o....

    What the fuck is this band this is amazing

    S.... o....

    Best kept secret

  54. n.... b....

    tam beynim gibi sarki

  55. p.... r....

    Music like this will never fade. Its pure musical genus.

  56. M.... �....

    Did someone say 'Bohemian Rhapsody'!!!! OK that's great but how about the greatness of this song!

  57. K.... n....

    Brilliant.fucking.song.

  58. N.... 8....

    Savaqueen. :)

  64. Y.... ....

  65. I.... ....

    Can someone tell me why he wants to die?

  66. T.... D....

    The legions are growing without those 68 people,fuck them.

  67. L.... ....

    I searched for this piece of music for years... i had this on an old playlist and just had unkown artist - unkown song.. and i finaly found it... Fucking awesome, love this piece!!!

  68. D.... H....

    BAD ASS ALBUM, FRONT TO BACK, TRUE HEAVY METAL THE WAY IT SHOULD SOUND !!

  69. H.... ....

    That ending though, WOW! Goosebump material.

  70. D.... K....

    Had the pleasure of seeing savatage multiple times in central Fla. Still some of my favorite shows

  71. T.... D....

    I totally use their song "Rage and War" as my nickname online,they're definitely one of my favorite bands..

  72. D.... A....

    thank you

  73. �.... �....

    One of my favourite bands...people should check this band out! It's a big shame that bands like that do not achieve the attention they diserve

  74. M.... P....

    i can't believe i grew up with this music, bonkers

  75. h.... l....

    thay đổi

  76. l.... ....

    The devil changes his drawers when Savatage starts playing.

  77. W.... W....

    awesome 😻👌

  78. D.... M....

    Its really sad that when typing "chance s" as "chance savatage" yt instead offers "chance some drugs"

  79. N.... H....

    I lived in my past

  80. B.... M....

    a guy recommended me listen savatage and he was right is awesome, How didnt I discover savatage before, this is awesome.

  81. d.... ....

    why u never hear this on the radio

  82. M.... L....

    This is real music. This is what I think of when people mention music. This isn't your average Justice Bieber shit that hurts your ears

  83. S.... F....

    Always have liked this weird shit .

  84. N.... G....

    the vocals and the instrumentacion of savatage is beyond words...like old judas priest

  85. S.... K....

    One of the best songs ever.

  86. f.... h....

    this is pure madness, crazy, amazing, master piece ! i am speechless every time i hear this song !

    f.... h....

    "I believe that situations all depend on circumstance"

  87. M.... P....

    masterpiece!

  88. O.... D....

    inişler yükselişler sevinç keder aşk ızdirap ve büyük bir senfoni hepsi mevcut tam bir ballad...

    O.... D....

    Orcun Dalkilic hala aynı duygularla dinleyebilmek... Muhteşem

  89. d.... ....

    Most pretentious, overblown Savatage song. Obviously an attempt to create their own "Bohemian Rhapsody". Epic fail!

  90. Z.... ....

    I really love Savatage but I used to skip the long, boring piano intros. sure, most like them and they are beautiful but they make some people go away.

    Z.... ....

    Yes, some intros are unnecessaries. This is one.

    Z.... ....

    yea... I meant to say.. the intros were so boring, that even I, savatage fan, skipped the songs back in the day. And I believe this is the point why they didnt sell as many albums they should of.. or something.. you know, people skip songs if it's all pling plong piano crap. It is beautiful but it takes away the rock n roll

  91. C.... ....

    I wish they could play bloodstook 2017

  92. c.... e....

    That chorus riff 0_0

    c.... e....

    Best part for me :)

  93. R.... O....

    5:25 AWESOME!
