Not What You See Lyrics

Cover art for Not What You See lyrics by Savatage

This is off of the dead winter dead album its about the Bosnian War in the nineties; its clearly from someone who feels misunderstood: "(I) don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am But I know that it's all that you see" It was basically a civil war involving ethnic groups (and such crimes as you'd expect: allegedly there was rape, concentration camps, genocide) I think the band was trying to preach tolerance. Theres a love story on the album about a Serb boy and a Muslim girl. I don't really know much about this war so if I have it wrong Please correct it. Anyway i think the lyrics are pretty and isn't this a rondella? (4 "people" singing and overlapping) Thats not easy to do. Also I like the guitar bit in the middle.
