Savatage - Castles Burning

Savatage - 5. Castles Burning - Handful of Rain


In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething
There he stands alone

Fools and faith conspire
Questions of desire
That they never owned

Kings without their armor
Men without their honor
Spit out desecration
Pieces of a nation
Buried in the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When he said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

Coffins drowned in roses
And the war he chose is
Fought inside the mind
Death becomes compelling
When the soul's for selling
And the world is blind

In the maze he wanders
Looks about and ponders
Shadows mock and taunt him
And the ghosts that haunt him
Chain him to the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

And does the pendulum toll
Against the side of he soul
When if feels the final moment is near

Do you rage against the dark
Try to re-write the part
Turn around and face what you fear
What you fear

He's seen it all before
Close your eyes and close the door
And the dreams that nights embrace
Slowly leave behind a trace

@SavaFun

Angra do not suck and neither do Savatage. Why do we always have to hate on any band that isn't like the band we are listening to at the moment.

[AlejandraRafa]

One of my favourite songs EVER

[TheVoodooHighway]

@kurumeci Thanks for the info buddy.. I support Occupy Wall Street & World.. Join the riots.. World is changing drastically.. WE THE PEOPLE WILL WIN ALWAYS AT THE END. At least we will die trying it.

This song is important 'cause it's dedicated to the memory of Giovanni Falcone,the judge who gave his life against the mafia.Now Italy is knowing both a brutal economic and political crysis,this country will never be the same,I'm afraid of a giant bloody riot....

@Whackooyzero angra and savatage alike? haha thats a joke.

[ZioStronzo]

I am Italian and this song just reaches deep in my soul... "There he stands alone"-> he was killed by the mafia because the State left him alone.

He will forever be one of my heros with all the antimafia crew, but he was special because he was so brave to show Italy and Italians that mafia COULD BE WON if only we were willing to do that. He led to mass awareness that the mafia is a PILE OF SHIT, nothing else!!!!!!
