As badass as the first couple albums were, Children of Bodom has written some piss poor lyrics. The guitar lines where killer though.
Haven't bothered to pay much attention since HCDR
I'm pretty sure Alexi made up the lyrics on the spot for their first album.
not only that, he got inspired from other bands' lyrics.. check out Warheart:
I'm an outcast on the path of rebound
Everything is frail, I desolate, crush, and burn
I have chosen darkness to be my guide
War is in my heart, death is by my side
while this is an excerpt from Manowar - Black Wind Fire and Steel:
I am an outcast on the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman, I was born to burn
Black wind always follows where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul and steel is by my side
Manowar deserve a place on this thread because they sing about the exact same things on every album: metal, battles, fantasy, riding motorcycles and norse mythology. You can seriously count the exceptions on one hand, the following songs gathered from ALL their discography: Guyana (Cult of the Damned)-about the People's Temple in Guyana, Number One-about sports, and An American Trilogy, which is basically a mash-up of Americana songs.
