* "Victim of Changes" from ''Sad Wings of Destiny'' might be an EpicRocking song with some energetic moments, but the lyrics are really dark: it's about a woman losing her man to someone else because of her drinking problem. To anyone with first- or secondhand experience with alcoholism, lyrics like ''"Takes another drink or two, / Things look better when she's through"'' will hit pretty close to home.
* ''Stained Class'' is overall a quite bleak and nihilistic album, tackling such subject matter as the inherent darkness within humanity, but undoubtedly the capstone is the near-seven-minute epic known as "Beyond The Realms of Death". A true "power ballad" in every sense, the riffing of Downing and Tipton combine with Halford's vocals to tell the tale of a depressed man who regresses to a near-catatonic state before ultimately dying (most likely taking his own life). Around the time of the subliminal message trial (also on this page), Halford confirmed in an interview that the song ultimately has an anti-suicide message, discussing how depression can cause one to withdraw from society. It is simultaneously extremely moving and overwhelmingly cathartic.

* Pretty much everything Rob Halford went through in the 80s: his struggles with being closeted, his alcohol and drug addiction, and the tragic way his romantic relationship at the time had ended - just reading about it, or looking at one of the interviews where he discusses it, can bring a tear to your eye.
** Things got better afterwards, though: Rob went into rehab and managed to defeat his addictions, and [[EarnYourHappyEnding has been clean ever since.]] If you know about his experiences, seeing how much healthier and happier he became can bring happy tears by itself.
* The subliminal message trial in 1990, despite the many ridiculous moments in the courtroom, is still this. Not only had it been started by a horrifying and tragic incident (the suicides of two troubled young fans who came from abusive families); but the band said that, despite the seeming ease they handled it with at the time, it still hit them pretty hard. Rob and Glenn said that it took its toll on all of them to have to go into a courtroom every day for weeks and listen to people accuse them of killing those two boys.
* In February 2018, Glenn Tipton announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's a few years ago, and that he would have to retire from touring for a while (or possibly permanently), as his illness has gotten to a point where he can't perform the more challenging songs, especially not throughout an entire concert. The whole situation is just heartbreaking; from the cruel irony of it all to hearing about Glenn's past struggles with playing in concerts and all the extra effort he had to put into making ''Firepower'', and the point where he realized that he couldn't play live anymore.

Rob Halford said that he wrote the song about his first heartbreak, and it shows. ''"I've waited too long, and now you're leaving, / Oh please don't take it all away..."'' It's probably best to have something on hand to cry into before you start listening to it.
