Savatage - The Price You Pay Lyrics






I know you're all alone tonight
And I hear your cries
From the world that lies
Beyond these lives
You've got dreams inside
They cut
I know
Cut so deep but you never show
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay

Is your soul on the line my dear
As you take your bows
To a silent crowd
That never hears
Close your eyes for now
And leave your rage
Take my hand and walk the stage

That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay

There's no need to worry
Cause you have tomorrows
Another phase of life has begun
Am I getting through to you?

Can your mind reach beyond tonight
I believe your love for life
Will never die
So my child you ask
What does this mean
Cut the chains and chase the dream

That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
Ooh yeah
That's the price you pay
When you come here to play

  1. O.... B....

    This is the time where you bought an album for its cover and then you listen and then your life changed forever! Jon, Chris, Criss, Jeff, and Johnny , please reform the band and experience a time where music matters know more than aver!

    Jon is Master of the Microphone...He feels every nuance of the music.

    F.... W....

    His vocal expressions are unique and truly awesome.

    Did this band directly influence the Hellenic BM scene?

    It sounds like Rotting Christ - The Fourth Knight of Revelation was based on this song's main riff.

    agentaxe, he’s right up there with Randy Rhoads

    a.... ....

    Christopher Pooler defo agree with you on that one

    a.... ....

    @Christopher Pooler he smokes RR in my humble opinion both taken too soon!

  34. G.... K....

    Great Riff

  35. R.... ....

    OMFG I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG SO MUCH

  36. z.... ....

    this was another epic tour from yesterday I loved this tour better than fight for rock and power of night although all 3 Kicked much ass back in the 80s in Detroit.

  37. S.... K....

    also to you Joel

  38. R.... V....

    An excellent hit

  39. D.... A....

    I bought this cassette tape in 1987 for $10. (That's the price i paid)

    D.... A....

    Lol makes a lot of cents, Lol. Sense that is.

    D.... A....

    @Mike Exactly

    D.... A....

    Hahahahaha

    D.... A....

    Best price you ever paid

  40. R.... M....

    Some of the heaviest metal ever made.

    R.... M....

    Ryan McNeila Ssshhiiet. Check out Exodus. Way heavier than this. AND IM THE ROCKINEST SON OF A BITCH ON THE PLANET AND I SAID SO.!!!

    R.... M....

    James Thomas I respect your response and opinion, James. But, I've been around the block and have Slayer tatted on my arm, right next to Pagans MC. Exodus is badass, I was bonded in blood many years ago. But, they are no early Savatage or Merciful Fate.

    R.... M....

    Idk about heaviest but definitely some of the best

    R.... M....

    Forget 'heaviest.' A stupid term. You lose a lot of melody and more the 'heavier' you get with most bands. F that rubbish. Savatage got it 1000% right with everything that they did.

  41. D.... C....

    RIP Criss Forever Missed never Forgotten.

  42. J.... V....

    dont think you can ask for more than this

    J.... V....

    James Varty . Ssshhiiet.!!

  43. C.... G....

    Que canción

  44. t.... a....

    Pre Transiberian Orchestra

  45. S.... H....

    I've been listening to this song this whole week.

  46. P.... U....

    I know you're all alone tonight
    And I hear your cries
    From the world that lies
    Beyond these lives
    You've got dreams inside
    They cut
    I know
    Cut so deep but you never show
    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay

    Is your soul on the line my dear
    As you take your bows
    To a silent crowd
    That never hears
    Close your eyes for now
    And leave your rage
    Take my hand and walk the stage

    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay

    There's no need to worry
    Cause you have tomorrows
    Another phase of life has begun

    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay
    That's the price you pay

  47. d.... ....

    the album cover is what vitor belfort is going to look like at UFC 300

  48. D.... A....

    Man, i know you can sell your soul to the devil to learn guitar, but how did this guy manage to upgrade to the deluxe package?

    D.... A....

    +Dr. Awkward - sacrificing babies in the woods under the full moon. then you rub the baby's blood all over your naked body and your guitar. and that's not all you still have to practice on top of that!

    D.... A....

    Dr. Awkward
    You get there the same way you get to Carnegie Hall...
    Practice, practice, practice!
    Im a guitar player, i know this because i can play like that. \m/

    D.... A....

    Frank Koller 🤣

    D.... A....

    I think you just have to be the shit and tell the devil you're better than his ass

    D.... A....

    He was just born to play. Yes he practiced non stop. Shame only a few of us noticed. I consider Criss the best ever. His tone will never be matched.

  49. d.... d....

    still love this album!!!

  50. D.... V....

    One of the most underrated metal bands ever..

    D.... V....

    Dont know man, in my metalhead company everybody knows about savatage and in fact they are the pure heavy metal sound everyone who is fan of Priest, Maiden knows about Savatage

    D.... V....

    Compared to other metal bands Savatage is extremely underrated

    D.... V....

    In the metal community i'd say no. They have toured with all the big ones, have been headliners on all big festivals and stuff. But they never went mainstream like maiden, metallica or something like that. They would have deserved that, but on the other hand i m glad there are still amazing bands not exploited to the max.

    D.... V....

    One of the most underrated bands in music, of any genre.

    D.... V....

    They were knashing at Iron Maidens heels until Chris Olivia's death...very sad...EPIC BAND AND CD

  51. J.... D....

    3 BASTARDS .... SAVATAGE RULES
    STILL THE ORCHESTRA PLAY'S .... FOREVER
    HAIL FROM GREECE.

    J.... D....

    JOHNNIE DIO ελα ρε ψηλεε παμε γερα!!!

    J.... D....

    PanosDioDz15 6 bastards

    J.... D....

    JOHNNIE DIO ΠΑΜΕ ΡΕΕΕ

  52. J.... S....

    I was in high school when this album came out, saw them on Long Island and was completely blown away. Thanks for the upload!

  53. M.... ....

    god that voice.. that guitar work... simply amazing.. 

  54. H.... ....

    #Savatage   Such A GREAT BAND..

    get More Metal At HMH Face Book

  55. w.... ....

    Just awesome  love SAVATAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. T.... S....

    Great song by a great band from Tampa,Florida.

  57. b.... J....

    great band!!!

  58. f.... ....

    All you that think you want to get into the "biz" heed their warning. Listen carefully to the lyrics and get the message that you will have to sacrifice more than all you have to make it. Jon Oliva should know, he's been through it all more than once. And this song is almost 30 years old, too. Good luck.

  59. B.... S....

    1 person must be sacrificed

  60. R.... F....

    One of the best song...period :D

  61. K.... G....

    I think Savatage is underrated, because they are so AWSOEME.

  62. s.... ....

    Yeah !!!

  63. d.... n....

    what a riff !!!! :o i wish i could write riffs like that

  64. R.... C....

    this song is wonderful and means alot to me!!!
