If they wrote 'feel so happy since I met that girl, when we're making love its simply out of this world" they'd be panned by fans as turning queer and becoming a pop band. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Metal fans have made it that way

I'm not complaining about the subject matter, I'm complaining about the quality of the lyrics. They rhyme "gloom" with "tomb", and if that isn't bad enough they have the temerity to then rhyme these with "doom". A third grader could write better lyrics than that. It just screams, "Yeah, I don't really give a ****, but I have bills to pay and an ex-wife breathing down my neck."
