One of Savatage and Criss Oliva's finest works, This song is a true masterpiece, and it was a pleasure to tab
out for all of you! Savatage Rocks! This tab is by King Kenroy

It Starts out with Just Jon on Piano



So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating

Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe
(Drums kick in)
