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.

Hyde Lyrics
Savatage
A solitude of horror in his hours off guard
Nature took her hideous revenge
Out of the black abyss came
the creeping madness that was his other self
Hyde, Hyde
A good man to evil
From the potion on the table
Sampled by mistake
But now it's far too late
A cause for alarm
He can do you harm,
Man into beast Prepares for his feast
Hyde, Hyde
Stalking the neon city
Standing in the shadow's
Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind
Black satin cape
Eyes of insane fire
Lurking in the darkness
A killer on permanent hire
For some he's but a tale
For others just a legend
Madness, myth and magic
Worth a warning mention
The change has taken place
Running from mankind
He may be after you
In his other state of mind
Standing in the shadows
Stalking the neon city
Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind
So if you care to wander
In a chemical adventure
It might be a mistake
The one you shouldn't make.
