Savatage
Savatage (/ˈsævətɑːʒ/) is an American heavy metal band founded by the brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1978 at Astro Skate in Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Savatage has released eleven studio albums, two live albums, four compilations and three EPs. The band experienced major American commercial success with the release of their third studio album, Fight for the Rock (1986), which peaked at number No. 158 on the Billboard 200. Their next four albums — Hall of the Mountain King (1987), Gutter Ballet (1989), Streets: A Rock Opera (1991) and Edge of Thorns (1993) — were also successful but more critically acclaimed than Fight for the Rock.
After Criss' death in 1993, Jon (along with producer Paul O'Neill) decided to continue Savatage in memory of his brother. The band released four more studio albums, and went through several line-up changes before going on hiatus in 2002. During the years, members founded various new bands such as Jon Oliva's Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Circle II Circle and Doctor Butcher. On August 2, 2014, Savatage announced that they were reuniting for Wacken Open Air in 2015.

Warriors
by: SavatageAs the edge of midnight falls the warrior stands alone
Visions of the fighting past a thousands tales are told
Immortal
Immortal
Let the battles of street life begin don some leathers and chains
They live their life and they feel their own pain
The times that is chilling their bones and they can't get away
Alone in the cold watching night turn into day
Armed to attack the soldiers react
Kill or be killed is the life they live, yeah
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
On the streets they are roaming the night out to claim their domain
One more pointless battle with nothing to gain
And life is a hell for them living with the shadows of death
Scratching and clawing till no souls are left
Armed to attack the soldiers react
Kill or be killed is the life they live
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
They call the streets of hell their home
They're not alone
A thousands tales are told
The streets of hell their home
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
