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.

Beyond The Doors Of The Dark Lyrics
Savatage
Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find
A thousand worlds for you to see here
Take my hand and follow me, oh
Beyond the doors of the dark
Demon in your heart
Scream and thrash your head
Turn around now you're dead
Under the darkened haze
Lost here in glaze
Are you looking to be free
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Another day's begun
Under the moon and sun
Circle has been drawn
Life has been prolonged
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Oh, beyond the doors of the dark yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
It's time to meet your fate
Heaven can wait
All the walls are closing in
Things crawl on your skin
He's grabbing down at you
There's nothing you can do
No place to run and hide
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
He wants to take your soul
You know you're dreaming
Call your precious little life under my knife
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
Never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
