Was The Black Halo actually about Faust?

I've had the album 3 years, and very good it is too, and still havnt worked out the concept!LOL
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

They say "The road to Hell is paved with all the best intentions" and that's my philosophy too. I don't understand the poll options though.

Well, I don't condemn you. Your intentions when you created this thread were obviously good...

A reference to The Black Halo, track 4 "Soul Society".

The previous poll of this type (about "The Spirit Carries On") was rather successful (as it was nominated to be the worst poll ever, which was a compliment). But I don't know about this one. I don't think many people know about this story. I don't really know the story either, but I think the lyrics are quite straightforward:

Quote How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good

This guy must have done something bad, and refused to confess, because he meant well.
