If we can somehow menage to insinuate the world with Threshold music and lyrics, it would be a much better place!
I'm aware of that, I'm just saying that, for me, a metal song in many cases is a kind of revelation...Someone else is trying to reach you and tell you something, educate you in some way...I noticed that I have reached a level where I can relate myself to a song and its theme, generating a message of my own, even if it's not strictly the artist's idea...

Threshold have meaningful words which show them to be good guys and spiritually seeking. I can listen to the lyrics without having my intellect insulted. I don't agree with all the lyrics (e.g. re-incarnation) but I believe they are sincere.
In my limited experience of Metal, the lyrics are usually embarrassingly stupid or childish or depraved. Threshold are refreshingly uplifting.
A good musician isn't automatically a good songwriter, but Threshold are both.

OH man you have no idea how much I agree with that statement you have just made!
IT IS SO TRUE. In my humble opinion the lyrics written by most metal bands (Power Metal bands being mostly to blame) are just painful to read and listen too.
Lyrics ARE so important, yet most musicians seem to think that they are the just last ingredient that needs no attention to detail, thusly they sound half baked. I've heard it said so often by my peers and audience that "people do not care about the lyrics"
hmmm that is not strictly true!
Well said....
