“’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.
