Someone wrote that Bruce's lyrics have been nothing but same old Maiden scary
stories. I'm sorry to say that I totally disagree. Bruce's songs such as
Freak, Starchildren, Welcome to the Pit, and Accident of Birth were not meant
to be scary stories. If you would take the words for more than face value you
would realize that he is talking about how he doesn't believe in God anymore
because god let him down in his life(jesus had his day off when they pulled you
through). These lyrics are the words of a man who has become disillusioned
with life(who leads you to the dark secret). I am the lyricist in my band, and
i absolutely hate when people think you're satanic just because you question
god.

Actually, someone who was praising AoB's lyrics said this about the lyrics
on VXI, and I said I personally feel it to be more true of AoB. After
all, what songs on VXI, except for maybe WTWC, are scare stories?

AoB features songs about the end of the world, genocide, and mutant
freaks. I have a hard time believing Bruce didn't intend them to be
scary.

I'm curious about something: if Bruce doesn't believe God exists, how
can he claim God let him down?

I agree with you totally. I never accused Bruce of being satanic.

I am the one who said that VXI had the "scare stories" - DLTTEOAS being
the most obvious. ...."is this the first time....you've ever felt this
scared..."
Second is LST - "....and the thunder that scares you....."
I mean, come on, whoever posted that last post, you're a bit off. WTWC a
scare story? Hardly.
