The band started out playing death metal. They changed their style after their first demo tape Introduction in 1992, became a classical/medieval/metal band and produced two albums dealing with the seer Michel de Notredame in the dark days of The Black Plague in Europe.

Lost
Haggard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you ever see a little child sleeping?
"To be near them will my sorrow drain..."
Suddenly I stopped, their bodies weren't breathing anymore
And I couln't help!
They captured my heart with their sorrow... it grows
-
Due to the ones who fear
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
-
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morning light
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
-
Carrying away the ones I love
Folden hands, they have been blessed
Now I feel angry 'bout the ones above
Just no warning, no sign
Hey, yes, I fear!
And I just really feel darkness inside
Lost without a chance to hide
-
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morning light
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
-
See me down
Down on the ground
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of these falling tears
-
Endless bleeding
Hoping that nobody sees
What you did to me!
-
Endless weeping
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of these falling tears
-
Endless mourning
hoping that nobody knows

The lyrics of Haggard's song Lost tell a story of someone who is haunted by the memories of lost loved ones. The song starts with the singer running away in the autumn rain, and asking the listener if they have ever seen a sleeping child. The singer then says that being near children would drain their sorrow, but suddenly they stop because they see that the children they were watching have stopped breathing, and they couldn't help them. The sorrow of losing those children captured the singer's heart and it keeps growing.
The chorus of the song is an acknowledgement of the fear that rules people's lives. Haggard implies that people who fear are slaves to an innocent might, creating a world where those who are innocent suffer.
The singer then talks about carrying away the ones they love, referring to them as having been blessed with folded hands. The singer angrily talks about there being no warning or sign before their loved ones were taken away, and how they feel darkness inside since they no longer have a chance to hide. The chorus repeats, once again highlighting the fear that controls people's lives.
The final verses of the song talk about the singer's endless bleeding, weeping, and mourning in the hope that nobody sees, hears, or knows what they're going through. The song ends on a note of utter despair, a testimony to the pain of losing someone you loved.
