because it's not. what you're talking about is generally referred to as power metal, for which bands like blind guardian, hammerfall, domine and rhapsody are perfect examples.
this genre is prolifically producing lyrics such as "though the immortal warrior falls / the brethren of the dragon soar / from their golden mithril halls / on the dark god's flying boar" to, as i have to admit, most of the time rather catchy tunes.
death metal - bands like entombed, dismember and, to a certain degree, in flames - is something completely and utterly different in style, technique and lyrics. for most people, this is an acquired taste.
if you want a comparison, get 'emerald sword' by rhapsody or just about ANYTHING by hammerfall and, for the contrast, 'override of the overture' or 'dreaming in red' by dismember. you'll blow your mind. 'ordinary story' by in flames will also do, although that's almost too melodious to be true death metal.
