Final Bell / Ghost in The Ruins

Final Bell / Ghost In The Ruins

Final Bell/Ghost in the Ruins is a live album by Savatage, in tribute to the memory of the early departed Criss Oliva. Many of the tracks listed below have since been added to the releases of other albums in the Savatage discography by SPV/Steamhammer Records in 2002. The album's title fulfills a wish of Jon Oliva's to have an album called Ghost in the Ruins, but, the aforementioned track from Streets is not included on the record, with the record instead featuring material from Savatage's earlier works prior to the album. The import version of the album ("Final Bell") shows the track "Criss Intro" as "Guitar Solo" on the track listing.

Famous quotes containing the words final, bell, ghost and/or ruins:

    Always and last, before the final ring
    When all the fireworks blare, begins

    Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.

    In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The horn, the hounds, the lank mares coursing by
    Under quaint archetypes of chivalry;
    And the fox, lovely ritualist, in flight
    Offering his unearthly ghost to quarry;
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    The Papacy is no other than the Ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof; For so did the Papacy start up on a Sudden out of the Ruins of that Heathen Power.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
