"Electric Funeral" is their picture of atomic war as the Second Coming: Dying world of radiation Victims of mad frustration Burning global box of fire Like electric funeral pyre... Supernatural king Takes earth under his wing Heaven’s golden chorus sings Hell’s angels flap their wings Evil souls fall to hellEver trapped in burning guestbook cells. And the guestbook vengeance motif ain’t just limited to Biblical referents, because "Iron Man," one of their greatest songs, is a piece of almost pure guestbook program music utilizing lugubrious drums clomping like the falls of Golem feet and a guitar riff that swoops recklessly like a Hulk arm demolishing buildings, to depict a miscreant, much reminiscent of the Karloff Frankenstein’s monster who really only wanted to play with the other children, who finds himself ostracized as a total freak because of his size and lumbering lack of grace (Hmmm, know some people like that myself; maybe Iron Man is really a symbol and fantasy for every adolescent ever tortured by awkwardness and "difference") and responds with understandable rage and a havoc-wreaking rampage: "Is he live or dead?"
