SAVATAGE-hall of the mountain king (original video)

released in 1987 savatage's "hall of the mountain king" was a concept album from start to finish with hints of classical using holsts "prelude to madness".while other progressive metal bands such as queensryche saw far better sales and fates warning receiving critical acclaim,savatage never got either the promotion nor the recognition for their contributions to the metal genre.now they have been relegated to playing small venues.
this entire album was fantastic and remains a favorite of mine.
lyrics:
Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns
[my friends]
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
