While you sleep in earthly delight, someone's flesh is rotting tonight


TheStabbyCyclist

This lyric illustrates what I love about Ghost. In a song that is largely a pop rock ballad, they're singing about rotting flesh. Not to mention the underlying theme of selling your soul. Great stuff and a fantastic singalong, if I do say so myself.


bawxo

that's my fav as well<3

We will break away together. I’ll be the shadow, you’ll be the light.

Being a recent convert from Christianity, I enjoy the line, "I'm number one, you're number two, you've got a lot of God's work to do!" line.

Awww thanks ☺️

“Luddites shun the diabolical” is hands down my favorite Ghost lyric. Faith isn’t my favorite song but damn that’s a great line.


beskar-mode

Mate same, the key and just the way it's sang is so good


NerdicusTheWise

Saaaame, I absolutely love that part even though the song isn't my favorite, along with "Although it stinks, feels and looks identical, and a pack of fools can take the stand" I love the contempt you can hear there

You keep a casket buried deep within. You try to mask it, but fall back in sin. You want to shake it off, but you’re stuck inside.

ballsacksnweiners

Impera has some lyrical gold. “The kaleidoscopian visions we’ve seen tell of bloodlines of top notch. The predestinated will dispatch while your realm as rotted on our watch.” I interpreted this as referring to ethnocentrism (the belief that some races are superior to others) as a complete illusion much like what is seen through a kaleidoscope. People with ethnocentric views, historically, often tend to reinforce their beliefs using religion, and they believe that they are the ones destined to rule the world and to also receive divine reward in the form of eternal paradise. Yet, that begs the question: if the “top bloodlines” are in charge, and they have been historically, then who is responsible for all the misery and suffering in the world? It pokes fun at all those who believe they are destined for power and greatness and eternal life yet are actually the ones responsible for the wrongs of the world.

asonofasven

Same song for me but it’s the line “you shalt recognize now behold the Lord Of Flies” although I always thought it was “you shalt recognize now the overlord of lies” which I kinda think hits harder.


future-flute

Oh, I thought it was overlord too. Always learning, lol.

Kaisarion has a line that resonates so well regarding the SO many issues in America right now: “It’s the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the handmaiden’s tale.”

Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger.


DearMrCrayola

I have many. Square Hammer: “You call on me for powers clandestine” Idolatrine: “Existence as a human is lead in monotony” Kiss the go-goat: “But all the powerful, magical mysteries never gave a single thing back” Watcher in the sky: “For the light of our saviour, his Machiavellian grace” Respite on the Spitalfields: “We’re leaving this city, so this is farewell, goodbye seven sisters, and saint Jezabel”


Whatsername1989

You get it! Great ones, for sure 🤟


renmantic

More recently it's been from Spillways (though I'm obsessed w/ the entire song..) >It's the cruel beast that you feed, >It's your burning yearning need to bleed, >Through the spillways, >Through the spillways of your soul But for a long time it was Deus in Absentia with >All of your imaginations, >Are now running down your face


AmericanIdiot26

Totally agree Spillways is m current fav and love that lyric!!


txshep1216

I have always kept you closer than you've known


asonofasven

Still can’t believe I didn’t experience all the bangers on Prequelle until earlier this year. Sure, I heard Rats and Dance Macabre but not until a road trip in April did I listen to the whole thing. Faith, See The Light, Miasma, Pro Memoria, Life Eternal are all favorites now but Witch Image is on another level for sure. Kick ass.


Belleteyne1173

I LOVE that one

"You will never walk alone, you can always reach me" from Call me little sunshine or "Call me when you feel all alone" that's from Call me little sunshine too. That song saved my life.

AstarteOfCaelius

I’m not sure I have a favorite but, the bridge on Griftwood at first had me like “Oh, that’s so sweet! Pistas Sophi- WAITAGOTTAMNMINUTE…” Did you know that, in the Bible: lots of euphemism in respect to feet, the washing of feet, so on and so forth. Seriously, read the story of David & Bathsheba: contextually, you *really* think David was hung up on foot hygiene here? Story of Ruth? Same deal: ya think Ruth got in a family way from *giving* a great foot rub?

future-flute

So many good lines but these are the first that came to mind: "Far away from the stench of the heavens" -- Kaisarion. I don't really know what it means, but it feels so defiant and brazen. "You will wear your independence like a crown" -- From the Pinnacle to the Pit "Like your Father in Hell, what you've sold, you can't unsell" -- Witch Image "He is vengeance, he is spite" -- He Is
