Anymore
Savatage Lyrics

Don't want to walk upon the water
I do not wish to perform any extraordinary deed

Don't want to look across the waves
I have no desire to indulge in something that is overwhelmingly great

Instead of seeing hills of water
I see only markers on their graves

But in the fading of a season
During the end of a time

To look across an empty sky
To volunteer for an unrewarding task

For a forgotten childhood reason
Driven by a distant memory of one's early days

To once more wish that you could
To long for the power to perform an impossible task

Close your eyes and just believe again
To have faith in something without any proof

There's a god does he remember when
There is a divine entity, does he recall the days when

We were young and faith was not pretend
When we were young, and our beliefs were not assumptions

And in the night he sees the ocean
During a quiet night, he gazes upon the sea

Carve its thoughts upon the shore
Etch its contemplations onto the beach

For in the way it was created
Because of how it was originated

It can do this and nothing more
It's the only task it's capable of

And every message it would leave him
He perceives every note it conveys to him

The next wave carefully erased
But the following wave gently obliterates it

As the tears that passed between them
Just like the tears they shared with each other

Were so real that you could
They were genuine enough that one could

Close your eyes and just believe again
Have unwavering faith once more, without any tangible proof

There's a god and he remembers when
The almighty remembers when

We were young and faith was not pretend
When our trust in him wasn't fictitious

And all at once the waves were getting higher
Suddenly the waves started getting bigger

And as they crashed I thought I heard them say
I thought I heard them voicing their thoughts as they smashed on the shore

There'd be a time when men would all be wiser
A day will come when people will be more sagacious

When everyone, everyone,
When each and every person

Yes everyone is
Will be considered

Saved
Rescued from damnation

And as he walked away he thought about
While leaving, he contemplated

That third stowaway once more
About the third person who clandestinely boarded the ship

And wondered if the body had washed up
He was curious if the cadaver surfaced

Upon some far and distant shore
On some faraway beach

Or if it sank down through the depths
Or whether it descended deeper into the sea

Of cold reality
Into the harsh reality of life

To rest upon the ocean floor
To come to rest at the bottom of the ocean

For all eternity
Forevermore

For at the bottom of the sea
For in the depths of the ocean

The dead do not feel pain
The deceased cannot experience agony

And neath the ocean made of tears
Where the sea is brimming with tears

They never fear the rain
The rain does not frighten them

But what had really happened
However, the reality is

Was a stranger twist of fate
It was an extremely odd coincidence

That the deckhand was to never know
Which the crew member was never going to learn

But to you, I will relate
But I'll tell you the true tale
