General Comment isn't Lamia a female vampire or something? I really have no idead what the metaphors and similitudes used in this song are, but generally it can be understood as a plea for help from something Ddadutta on October 04, Link. No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error.

General Comment Prodigal Son is a parable Jesus said, its in the bible, but i doubt the song lyrics are related to the parable. General Comment the solo in this song is hot ialmostbelieve on April 28, Link. They came out at about the same time too. Songmeaningsuser on December 16, Link.

It is true that one riff is very similar to You Can't Kill Rock N Roll but that is not because iron maiden is a rip or that ozzy is Songmeaningsuser sure but this came out 8 months prior. Knew Ozzy was a song credit pirate but never suspected Randy! Sure Sharon and Ozzy had a talk with the lad and convenced him it was ok. Or Ozzy just belted it out himelf on guitar like he did the the entire Bark at the Moon album!

General Comment Fuck you songmeaninguser. MikePattonRules on May 21, Link. General Comment Welll I don't know what it means. Obviously Ddadutta's right about it being a plea for help.

The painting by John William Waterhouse is also based on this poem. Now, Steve Harris was a great fan of this band at that time and was probably influenced by them in the writing of the lyrics of 'Prodigal Son'.

The ethereal atmosphere of the song seems to reinforce the idea of a Genesis influence on Harris's writing. However, this reasoning doesn't exactly fit, since the lyrics hint that the prodigal son's past was linked to "mystic things and magic", and not necessarily to violence or murder. Still, it's quite a good song with a very different sound than the rest of the album.
