Power metal bands in general usually have an uplifting and empowering message, triumph over evil type of theme. But yeah, some take things way to far.

Now if you really want to talk being on a whole other level and taking lyrics seriously, check out scandinavian death metal. The face paint, the spikes, the leather, the live by our lyrics way of life. It's quite a site to behold, especially when members of certain bands wear peices of there lead singers skull around there neck after he committed suicide and others and there fans actually burning down 200 year old churches because of there satanic beliefs. Now that's crazy shit right there.

Dio kills it no doubt about it. He killed it in Black Sabbath, Dio and all the different bands he has been in through the years, but that was the 70's and 80's (and early 90's). This is 2007 if you look at DF these guys must think its 87. Its kinda hard to compare the two.

most music can't have its lyrics taken seriously. if that were a pre-requisite for liking something everyone would be in bad shape. it's the band's that think they're saying something worthwhile that are the real jokers

going back to the "lyrics are stupid" discussion, when i was in high school i'd listen to lots of "bands" on a label called "Shrapnel Records" A guy named Mike Varney ran it and basically just signed up anybody that could write tunes and shred. There were the usual crew of studio drummers, bassists, etc that would record with whatever guitarist had about 1 cd worth of shredding to lay down. One of the greats from that timeframe was a guy named Jason Becker.. Marty Friedman (guitarist for Megadeth all during the 90s) also used to be a Shrapnel artist.. There was a band called "Cacophony" where it was these 2 dudes as co-guitarists and it was trade-off soloing non-stop... occasionally broken up by the dumbest lyrics you can possibly imagine

so yeah.. 75% of what i listened to in highschool had no lyrics at all.. just guys destroying my brain with their guitar talent.

the rest was the usual angry-teen stuff like slayer, pantera, whatever. I mean.. what's worse.. dragonforce lyrics that nobody takes seriously or cannibal corpse lyrics that some people take seriously?

hahaha dragonforce......i dont know how anyone can take this band seriously. Yeah sure i listen to them but only for comedic purposes. Instrumentally they are fantastic but lyrically its just pure comedy. For example we will use the GH3 song "Through The Fire And The Flames"

"So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls".

Like i said pure comedy! I think its just a excuse to play extremely fast. If you like DF you should check out Dragon Land.

It's power metal, what'd you expect. Try Manowar sometime if DF makes you laugh.
