During the summer of 2006 Overtures started to record their first full-length album “Beyond The Waterfall”, which contains eight original songs: "Beyond the waterfall", "Toy", "Faded Dream", "Town of Desolation", "Silent Observer", "The Self-Pitier", "A Time of my Life", "Hideout"; for a total length of about 40 minutes. In May 2007 Overtures signed a contract with the Italian label "Videoradio" (www.videoradio.org).
In July 2008, one year after the Italian release of the album "Beyond The Waterfall", Overtures got in touch with "Rock It Up records" (www.rockitup.org) and signed a contract with the German label for the worldwide distribution of the CD.

On November 13th 2009 the German label "Remedy Records" (www.remedyrecords.de) published "ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild", an official tribute album to the legendary German band. The album was released because of the dissolution of Running Wild and featured, among the others, also by Overtures with their version of "Pirate Song".
In October 2010 Overtures announced their passage to "Sleaszy Rider Records" (www.sleaszyrider.com), with whom they signed a new deal that links the two parts until 2013. The Greek label scheduled the release date of "Rebirth", second full-length of the band and first album with the new line-up on March 7th 2011. "Rebirth", mastered by "Mika Jussila" (Children of Bodom, Nightwish, HIM, Lordi, Edguy & altri) at "Finnvox Studios" in Helsinki, and with the artwork drew by "Michael Shindler" (Motorhead, Grave Digger, Mystic Circle, Creamtory & altri), contains the songs "Here we fall", "Fly Angel", "You can't spit on me", "Delirium", "Farewell", "Not too late", "The Prophecy", "My name is Fear", "Easy", "Daemons" and the bonus track "Not too late" in its acoustic version. As special guests on the album there are also "Rafahell" from "Elvenking" and "Akos Komodi" from "Halor".

After the release of "Rebirth" the management of the band is put in charge of agency "Extreme Agency" (www.extremeagency.org) in Italy and of the Brazilian agency "Insano Booking & Management" (www.insanobooking.com.br) worldwide. It also begins a minor deal with "Vivo Management" (www.vivomanagement.it).

SAVIOR
Overtures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where pain and lies allied to fight,
faint and alone I needed to face them,
but it's so hard to succeed without your smile.
Down on my knees I am standing,
bleeding inside, but still with pride.
Searching the world for the eyes of a savior…
I give up my mind.
In dreams I saw that you
would have given up my cries.
It was truth.
You're the voice that I will never sing with.
You're the force that I will never be.
You're the light that shines through me, enchanting,
you're the night that I have ever waited for.
Now, hand to hand, we walk into the darkness,
and step by step we'll cross this lonely roads.
Here it's easy to crumble and easier is freaking
but nothing can kill what is born to be united.
I give up my mind.
In dreams I saw that you
would have given up my cries.
It was truth.
You're the voice that I will never sing with.
You're the force that I will never be.
You're the light that shines through me, enchanting,
you're the night that I have ever waited for.
(Guitar Solo by Stefano D'Amore)
I give up my mind.
In dreams I saw that you
would have given up my cries.
It was truth.
And no more pain will ever hurt my heart,
and no more lies will hide the truth.
Voice that I will never sing with,
force that I will never be,
you're the light that shines through me, enchanting,
you're the night that I have ever waited for.
The lyrics to Overtures's song Savior present a picture of someone who feels lost and alone, surrounded by pain and lies that they are struggling to overcome. The singer acknowledges that they need help in order to make it through this difficult time, but they also recognize that it's not easy to find that help. They search for a savior, someone who can guide them through the darkness and make them feel whole again.
The second verse sees the singer finding their savior, who appears like an earthquake in their life. They seem willing to give up everything for this person, sacrificing their own needs and desires in order to be with them. The relationship is described as intense and powerful, with the savior providing a light that shines through the singer and lifts them up.
The final verse sees the singer and their savior walking hand in hand through the darkness, knowing that the road ahead won't be easy. They acknowledge the dangers and difficulties, but also express a sense of optimism and determination. The final lines of the song are a reaffirmation of the savior's importance in the singer's life, a recognition that they will always be there to guide them through the pain and lies of the world.

I was lost in a confusing world where pain and lies seemed to work together to fight me. I felt weak and alone, and though I knew I had to face them, it was hard to do it without your support and encouragement.
Down on my knees I am standing, bleeding inside, but still with pride.
Even though I was on my knees, hurting and wounded inside, I still had my pride and the courage to stand up and keep fighting.
Searching the world for the eyes of a savior… then like an earthquake you came, and here we are.
I was looking all over the world for someone to save me, and then suddenly you came into my life like a seismic event, and now we're together.

We walk hand in hand into the unknown and scary darkness, but we're taking it one step at a time and we'll get across the lonely roads together. It's easy to give in to fear and panic, but nothing can destroy the bond that we were meant to have.

And no more pain will ever hurt my heart, and no more lies will hide the truth.
You have healed my heart so completely that I will never feel pain again, and there will be no more lies to deceive me or hide the truth from me.
Voice that I will never sing with, force that I will never be, you're the light that shines through me, enchanting, you're the night that I have ever waited for.
Just like before, there's nothing that can ever replace you or what you mean to me. You are the guiding light that illuminates my existence, the only special person I have been waiting for.
