it was mentioned that this album was to be a concept album of sorts, and from looking at the the song titles and the image of eddie with the crossed guns i think i have an idea for the concept: The Third World War.
'Different Worlds' could be the collision of ideologies i.e. east and west, democracy and tyranny etc
'These Colours Don't Run' is perhaps a reference the start of war: upholding face, not cowering in the face of terror, seeking revenge?
----linked? 'the end' ----
'Brighter than a Thousand Suns'. a nuclear explosion? a nuclear holocaust? (side note: imagine if this was like Bruce's 'Strange death in paradise'?
)
'The Pilgrim'. man is returned to a more primitive time? a pilgrim is someone who remembers or worships....those who died maybe? COULD BE A MAIN CHARACTER?
'The Longest Day'. perhaps based on the ww2 film of the same name. suggests a battle, possibly the last one?
---linked? 'rebuilding'----
'Out of the Shadows' of the old civilisations? of a nuclear winter?
'The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg'. perhaps he is a central character in the concept? a soldier maybe who finds his morals and position in life changed? maybe he becomes a leader, 'Postman' style?
---linked? 'new world order'---
'For the greater good of god' suggests something happens, or has to be done, in order to survive? maybe the new society is becoming divided?
'Lord of Light' could be the/a central character (if there is one) becoming a new ruler?
----------------------------
'The Legacy'. what are we leaving for the future? a message about the world we're leaving for our children now or for our children's children?
someone mentioned that the new eddie logo was called 'something's coming'. combined with the weapons and armour to me suggests war. 'something wicked this way comes'.
i don't. it's just an idea i thought of.
thoughts?
I think I'd better get back to bed
