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.

Shotgun Innocence Lyrics
Savatage
She's got shotgun innocence
In her eyes so intense
Never sure of her intent
She's a Paris pretty child
Even got a wink that's styled
Keeps it all behind a smile
Look into those worldly eyes
And you've got to wonder what she's done
No use thinking you can win her
Cause this child's already won
And it's time that you stand up
Show's on
Here's why you paid
Hold tight
Net's gone
So welcome to the stage
And it's too late to be saved
She don't need designer dress
Has them all though I would guess
Got the wardrobe of the blessed
Cover of a magazine
Movie star, beauty queen
All wrapped up and razor clean
Locking up with paradise
Is really so much harder than it seems
See her as a revelation
Much more safely visited in dreams
And it's time that you stand up
Show's on
Here's why you paid
Hold tight
Net's gone
So welcome to the stage
And it's too late to be saved
So you find you're dreaming about her
But it's such a little vice
And if you think you've got a chance, boy
Well it's time to roll the dice
Stand up
Show's on
Here's why you paid
Hold tight
Net's gone
So welcome to the stage
Stand up
Show's on
Here's why you paid, yeah
Hold tight, yeah
Net's gone
So welcome to the stage
And it's too late to be saved
Before it's too late Shotgun innocence Innocence
