Savatage - One Child Lyrics
One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain
One child spent his time imagining
And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a...
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, 'cause this will be my grave
One child hid inside the darkness
One child never said a thing
One child closed his eyes and disappeared
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper...
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
[lead break / coda]
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone
[bridge]
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care
I have held on to your words until I found them only air
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding
[coda]
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone
[simultaneously]
I will believe in you
We had no choice but to stay and follow
If you still want me to
We have nothing left except tomorrow
Or tell me I'm on my own
We have nothing left except what will be
There on the other side
What we need here are some real decisions
Tell me the Pilate's died
While you only offer mindless visions
And we're no longer alone
Visions that nobody else here can see
[simultaneously / = where stanza 1 lines begin in comparison to other stanzas]
[1.]
We're on our own
We're on our own
We're on our own
We're on our...
[2.]
/I will believe in you
If you still want me to
/Or tell me I'm on my own
/There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
/And we're no longer a...
[3.]
/We had no choice but to stay and follow
We have nothing left except tomorrow
/We have nothing left except what will be
/What we need here are some real decisions
While you only offer mindless visions
/Visions that nobody else here can...
[all together]
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer a...
[chorus]
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
NOW THROUGH THE OLD ARE OFF FORGOTTEN
THEY TEND NOT TO FORGET
AND THE OLD MAN CAME EACH NIGHT
AND PLAYED HIS SOUL'S REGRET
BUT THIS NIGHT THE SOUND CUT DEEPER
AS IF THE SOUL ITSELF WOULD LEAVE
FOR SNOW COVERED THE GROUND
AND THE NIGHT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE

They cut too much from the middle. Nice vid, though. Forever Savatage 🎸
for a second I thought they had John Ptrucci playing with them ;)
This is really great!!!
These guys eventually became Trans Siberian Orchestra. Their biggest hit "Christmas/ Sarajevo came from this same album (Savatage "Dead Winter Dead") It didn't get any radio play until they rereleased it as Trans Siberian Orchestra.
@Hans Gruber Thank you so much. I didn't know that. I love that beautiful song.
💔💔💔💔🤘🤘
im musician and teacher because this BAND!
fantastic band!
my favorite!
#iloveyou
Eu prefiro o vocal do John oliva,mas este vocalista também é bom!
суперпрофессиональный музыкальный коллектив. музыка высшей пробы.
pure beauty...
Nothing against these guys, they're good at what they do, but I just can't get into this version. Without the Olivas, it just isn't Savatage.
Jon Oliva is on piano and stayed very active in the songwriting
vocal podre, jon oliva é muito melhor!
WHO IS THE FABULOUS VOCALIST ?
lorax98 HE IS AMAZING !!!!!
Yes he is. Been a fan for a long time :)
lorax98 ME TOO LORAX 98 THE EDGE OF THORNS DISC IS MY FAVE !!!!! SAVATAGE LIVES ON FOREVER . CHEERS FROM SHERIDAN, WYOMING 😘🌹💋
I don't know if it's my favorite but definitely in my top 4. Fantastic band with Zak and Jon singing. Nice to meet another Savatage fan. ;)
Zak Stevens is in the band Circle 2 Circle now
Esse álbuns falou da guerra cívil da Iugoslávia, antiga Iugoslávia.
Когда я в далеком 1995 слушал этот альбом даже не представлял что нас, Дончан это тоже ждет.
Journey...esque...for a minute
великолепно))
Really time to come back for Savatage!
Tobias Zwicknagel "I don't believe he's coming home again"
Why search a fitting genre for this? I don't care if it's power or progressive or heavy or whatever, just enjoy this musical masterpiece
+Der Boi darkwave and metal. you can like both i like celtic frost exodus death. but then i like darkware. dont limit yourself man do whatever the hell you want
uspm us power metal
The kicker is the whole time the music was teaching of God, Jesus all the way from Beethoven to OZZY to Savatage and the Trans Siberian Orchestra. The heart has always poured our music to the creator from the beginning all the way to the end and nothing can stop it, not the church , not the muslims or anyone power crazed religion on the planet. Freedom, liberty and Justice will prevail .
We are free :-)
+larry kendrick huh?
Another Great song, and video... However*** Where is Jon>? Another video, where he is not seen in it...
+David Mosley In 1992, Jon Oliva left the band to concentrate on his side projects Doctor Butcher and his Broadway-bound musical Romanov,[16] as well as continuing co-writing Savatage material with his brother Criss and producer Paul O'Neill. 2001 was highlighted by Jon Oliva's return as lead vocalist in studio, replacing Zak Stevens, who left the band citing family reasons.
Jon Oliva is on this album a few times, but not on this song.
@Catrina B Jon never left savatage. He focussed his activities on other projects but is still the Keyboardist and featured as lead vocalists on some Tracks of Dead Winter Dead and The wake of the Magellan (I am and Paragorns of innocence for example)
This is the band that has brought more to music, than Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart, and Paganini! Please believe me what I tell you is true!!!
+larry kendrick HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
larry kendrick kinda funny since Lucifer was an angel of music
Yet Gabriel has the trumpet.
i believe what you say.....the best bands /artists i ve heard somewhen prased God in His most opened way, without relirion's boundaries, more focused on the infinite Universe and Bliss around us, like Mother Nature .....the references ,musical/lyrical come to artists ,who have the sensitivity to catch them inside their feelings.....when you shut the door to Tv/Newspapers/the Masses noises and start watching inside yourself.......God arrives....
Yes Savatage is good, but my friend.. you can not say that about paganini.. Paganini invented Metal!
good song but was trying to remember where some of the music was from
Took a minuet but got it,
Journey - Who's Crying Now
Aha I was think exactly the same thing
E.W Sizer I too noticed the correlation, many years ago!
Robert Rice where are u from? I once knew a Robert Rice that just vanished. Did u live in ohio?
I agree, I also think that the main style of Savatage is progressive metal, but as I know concept 'heavy metal' can also mean all kinds of metal, including progressive m. So it is not a mistake to say that Savatage is the best heavy metal band.
Why should we lose time trying to define what kind of metal is this? This is just the most awesome music you can find around, end of the story!!!
13, and proud to love metal. \m/
not to be an ass, progressive? WTF! this is the music Metal was founded on! If you know the older stuff Savatage has done, you would know they are working backwords so people have a better understanding of what true music is about! to me this is the best Metal,Alternative,Hair, and Classical band thiere is! But deff. not proggressive! Or do i not know the meaning of that term?
I wouldn't call it heavy, I'd call it Progressive.
Amazing song to hear stand alone, but even more amazing in the context of the album. Plus they cut some bits out of this version.
Pilatus, as in Pontius Pilatus. The man that ordered Jesus' crusifiction.
It's Pilot as in a plane.
excelente banda!
AWESOME SONG AND GREAT ALBUM
Great song, but where is the part that goes, "Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care. I have held on to your words until I found them only air.
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding."
Savatage: "Streets" - A Rock Opera
Trans-Siberian-Orchestra: Beethoven's Last Night
Evergrey: The Inner Circle
Sabaton: The Art of War
Kick ass Video! \m/
Que buen temna <3
هم سافاتاچ إخوان؟
thats exactly what mother America provide the whole world by hate kill and total destruction
Yes one of the best , my fav still is is The wake of the Magelen
Maybe their best song after the Criss Oliva era...
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care I have held on to your words until I found them only air What good are your promises if you can always take them back? Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding
Dammit! You shortened it!
Fuck I love this band. So under appreciated.
We need to stand up for all children,not only the victims of war,but poverty,abuse neglect.Thank you Savatage for bringing this to light.Children are the future,may this future be filled with more peace,hope,love and last but not least music!
Al fucking Pitrielli.
