SAVATAGE LYRICS

When The Crowds Are Gone

"When The Crowds Are Gone" (1989 Single)

1. When the Crowds Are Gone
2. Hounds (live)
3. Of Rage and War (live)







1. When the Crowds Are Gone

I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
And the things I never knew
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through
Please believe me, what I tell you is true

Where's the light, turn then on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds are gone

All my friends have been crucified
They made life a long suicide true
Guess we never figured out the rules
But I'm still alive and my fingers feel
I'm gonna play on till the final reel's through
And read the credits from a different view

Where's the lights, turn them on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds are gone...

When the crowds are gone and I'm all alone playing a final song
Now, that the lights are gone, turn them on again
One more time for me, my friend - turn them on again
I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan and hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years I can no longer pay!... oh
When the lights are gone

Turn them on again...

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am are the parts that I play!...

And the lights - turn them off, my friend
And the ghosts, well, just let them in
'Cause in the dark it's easier... to see




2. Hounds (live)

Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till morning's light

Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Nature's beasts derranged
Beyond belief no one understands

Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

Can you hear them in the night?
They got you in their sight

Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down




3. Of Rage and War (live)

You got Lybia, you got the Russians
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists
Nazis, 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

Every country's got the bomb
The scientists are working on
Chemical weapons to melt the flesh
With no source of defense
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

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?
