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.

Morning Sun Lyrics
Savatage
Timmy went out to play
With the friends he made
Why did they send him away
He drove his mommy mad
His daddy he ran
They didnt understand
Now he gazes his cold nights through
Reliving all of the things hes do
If he only had another chance
If that was all he had
His tension life
He beats the wife
Doused the cat with gasoline
Hes rather try
The other side
He just has to get away
Thats when it all began
Timmy lost his mind
Was just a matter of time
Before he went crazy
Mentally yours (8 times)
Running wild
Cause thats his style
Cant be held by any cage
Crossed the line
The final time
Cause tonight he takes his stage
Mentally yours (8 times)
