The Top Ten

1 Morphine Child

This is my #1 song by Savatage, not only from this album. Epic, emotional.
It's 10:12 minutes long but I wouldn't throw out a single note.

2 Commissar

3 Surrender

The riff is awesome and I think Bon Jovi ripped it off for their 2007 song 'We Got It Going On'. Sounds very similar to me.

4 Drive

5 There in the Silence

6 I Seek Power

7 Stay with Me Awhile

8 The Rumor

9 Man in the Mirror

10 Awaken

The Contenders

11 Back to a Reason
