1. 1. The Complete Lyrics 1978–2022

   

   This expansive anthology gathers lyrics written between 1978 and 2022, presenting the full span of a singular songwriter’s work across bands and solo projects and charting the evolution of voice and craft while highlighting recurring obsessions—faith and doubt, love and grief, violence, redemption and mythic storytelling. Stark, often gothic imagery and dark romanticism sit beside raw, colloquial detail, so the poems function as songs and the songs as vivid, frequently cinematic narratives. The collection reads as both an archive of a prolific career and a study of how language, melody and character combine to probe longing, loss and the human condition.
