What about Blackie Lawless and the lyrics to his more 'serious' tracks?
Such as The Last Command, The Heretic, The Headless Children, Great Misconceptions Of Me, Scared To Death, Goodbye America, Killahead?
Yes... that is true, but how he change the original story or theme that he is writing about, into a lyrical masterpiece is amazing. Well to me it is anyway.
I just love the subject matter, I love fantasy and all that. And usually everything they write about I love. And Then There Was Silence is about the trojan war, and I just read an analyis about it recently, and it's really comprehensive!
