That is like saying a person yellinging FIRE should be ignored rather than a person who says. "Do pardon me divinity, but beleive thy living establsihment burneth to black ash..."

What I find ironic is that I see HIM as being the one saying the latter.
All their songs have this mold:
"There's love, there's sadness, and there's death, and I'm singing about it"
From that, they elaborate with as many permutations as the can possibly come up with.
Therefore, while ASF would be yelling "there's a fucking fire!" and Peter Murphy would be saying "Oh no! The building is incinerating!", Ville tries to come up with twelve ways to talk about the fire (e.g. "The Flames that Consume Us", "Death Approaches", "Flaming Like in Passion", or some cal of sorts) that really aren't at all necessary and isn't really telling us to run, because, after all, there's a fucking fire.
