Savatage is a heavy metal/ progressive metalband founded by the brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1979. The band is known for recording many rock operas. Early on, Savatage was a traditional heavy metal band, who stood out from the pack due to guitarist Criss Oliva's uncommonly heavy riffing and vocalist Jon Oliva's unique vocal stylings. Following the failure of Fight for the Rock, an attempt to commercialize their sound, Savatage began moving in a more operatic direction, releasing a number of rock opera albums in collaboration with producer Paul O'Neill. After the tragic death of Criss Oliva, the band soldiered on to continued critical acclaim but diminishing commercial success.

Agony And Ecstacy Lyrics
Savatage
Listen to me
From deep down inside
I'm the madness that just
Will not die
With no regrets
Of what I'll do to you
Before the night is over
You'll be crawling to me
You call me when you're weak
For me you'll lie and cheat
You'll never get away
With me you're here to stay
Listen D.T. can't you see
Stay with me and you'll be free
Even as I soothe your soul
I tear you down and make you old
You just keep on coming back
To buy another nickel sack
Twelve o'clock time to greet
Agony and ecstasy
Ecstasy
I'm the cry from within
From when your day begins
You'll follow me like sheep
This shepherd never sleeps
So tell me what's your price
Come skate on my ice
My blades they never rust
I'm asking you to trust
Listen now the time is right
And what a way to start the night
Spend your money endlessly
Another grand insanity
So D.T. this is the plan
I'll make your brain a rubber band
Time to stretch it out and see
Agony and Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Feel my whisper through your haze of pain
Feel the calling of the neon vein
See my name upon your soul's marquee
I am agony and ecstasy
And just remember
If you ever need me I'm here
