Savatage Lyrics
"Not What You See"

No life so short it can't turn around
You can't spend your life living underground
Far from above you don't hear a sound

And I'm out here, waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be
It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see

No life so short that it never learns
No flame so small that it never burns
No page so sure that it never turns

And I'm out here, waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be
It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see

Can you live your life in a day?
Putting every moment in play?
Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around
Tell me if you win would it show?
In a thousand years who would know?
As a million lives come and go on the same piece of ground

I've been waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be
It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am, but it is what you see

Tell me would you really want to
See me leave this night without you
Don't you ever look about you?
Wandering where we might be
New York is so far away now
Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
Only dreams from here, but somehow
One day that world we will see

I've been waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be
It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am, but it is what you see, what I see

I swear on tomorrow if you take this chance
Our lives are this moment, the music, the dance
And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries
I close my eyes on this night
And you're all that I see
You're all that I see
