@[lapofthegods:194] It's only an attack on religion to you because that's the desire you are bringing to the performance.

Styx – Lords Of The Ring Lyrics 11 years ago
“’The Lords of the Ring’ was not about J.R.R Tolkien.”, says writer Dennis Deyoung in interview (Speaking The Truth) on www.classicrockrevisited.com. Neither was it an attack on religion, unless you take the entertainment industry as your religion.

“All hail to the Lords of the Ring
To the magic and mystery they bring”

A video prepared for the song features circus clowns, Lords of the (Circus) Ring, alluding to the idea that the performance industry is just one big fantasy; a “Grand Illusion”, of which Styx was the new Lords.

“And now the message is clear
For I became a Lord this year
And though the legend was pure fantasy”

He was writing about his band becoming the big act in one year.
