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.

Dungeons Are Calling Lyrics
Savatage
Down in the dungeons
Of concrete and terror
Candles light the way
Can you hear me say?
The dungeons are calling
The dungeons are calling for me
I can't escape
This den must be hell
Pleasures of freedom
Denied me in this cell
I steal from my friends
Victims of my pain
Its nearing the end
I live like the dead
The dungeons are calling
Calling for me--oh!
The dungeons are calling
The rack waits for me
Down in the dungeons
I'm locked away
Suicide ride
I take everday
Prisoner in hell
Victim in pain
The dungeons are calling for me
None of my friends
Want to come out and play
They think i'm crazy
But what can i say?
Prisoner in hell
Victim in pain
It's nearing the end
I live like the dead
The dungeons are calling
Calling for me
The dungeons are calling
The rack waits for me
