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.

If I Go Away Lyrics
Savatage
===============
Somewhere on that long empty road
We all stand lone
Searching for clues
From our different views
In the dark I call out your name
It echoes in vain
Over again
In an empty room
Chorus
And if I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there
Staring down a long empty hall
Pictures on walls
All with your name
But it's not the same
Searching for a chord I can't hear
Been searching for years
It's somewhere inside
But it's well disguised
And if I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there
