i've said before, i dont particularly care about lyrics, its the music i love.
i'm not a die hard metalhead, nor am i a metalhead at all... im just a lover of the music, exploit all you want man, at the end of the day, its just opinion, and you seem to be just doing this to prove a point to yourself, either way... I'm not unduly bothered..
But if its lyrics you want, look at megadeth, politics galore, metallica, namely nothing else matters, a song of lyrical beauty, as with one and the unforgiven...
Power metal is all aobut the sci fi and dragons bullshit, which i myself dislike a lot...
