Someone
Got themselves a letter
In the mail the other day
It's already worn and tattered
And I guess
It gives away

All the things we keep inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on it's best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart
Betrays

She knows
As she reads her letter
That things were bound to stray
Winds blow
She pulls her coat tighter
And the letter flies away

With all the things she keeps inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on it's best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart betrays

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

And I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away
Watch me

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed, yeah yeah

I bleed

    Song Meaning:This song was written for Criss Oliva and also for his wife Dawn. If anyone doesnt know Criss was the original guitarist for Savatage. I had the pleasure of knowing him and his brother.

    My Interpretation:As far as i know the whole album is about the serbian bosnian war and specifically tells a love story between a serb and a bosnian girl.

    this song is powerful...and it makes me cry...

    i think it could also be about cutting, self-harm because thr girl has found out something possibly about someone she loved and there's no-one to tell it so she bottles it up inside for so long her feelings have to be vented in some way and that's the way she chooses.

    General Comment:To me, and the above comment, I agree, it's a powerful song, but in my own interpretation, I think it's a promised suicide. As if someone he loved were to receive his suicide note. A few sad song, but nevertheless, one of my favorites

    General Comment:Someone thought a relationship could happen and it didn't.

    OR

    A widow recieving a letter of a lost husband in a war.

    Could be either, I think it's the former, not the latter, but ehn.

    General Comment:I think it tells the story of a girl who puts on a mask to hide her true feelings for someone, however whaterver is in this letter she recieves from this person has such an affect on her that she can no longer contain her feelings
