| Edguy – Theater Of Salvation Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
One of the most sweeping and magnificent power metal songs of all time. In the booklet for this album, Tobias directly addresses the reader/listener, and his words explain this song. In short, we all must go on our quest for real salvation - that salvation which is best for us as individuals, not something spoon-fed to us by orders such as the church. The song stresses to not be frightened by the stories that you're told, and to spend your life enjoying it rather than spending it all preparing for a life in a "then" that may or may not arrive.
It's a song about freedom, overall, and breaking away for what you feel is right for yourself. |

A song about the Inquisition, though it takes a unique first-person viewpoint through the 'eyes' of the Inquisition's evil ways, rather than through the eyes of a sentient character. |

| Edguy – The Kingdom Lyrics

|
One of Edguy's most underrated songs, though it could benefit from a re-recording at some point. This song draws a parallel between the medieval ideal of punishing supposed 'heretics' for thinking differently than the popular view, and the condition today where, in that regard, some things haven't changed. The song professes that it's better to hide your belief than feeding the crow - that it's better to live for another day in your mind than be killed for your beliefs. The song also carries a strong anti-authority tone and the warning to never blindly trust in those who profess to hold the truth. |
