lyrics taken from ghostâs album, meliora. change words / pronouns / combine sentences as necessary.
throw yourself into the vessel of possibilities.
thereâs no return from this excursion of of possibilities.
youâre at the seventh gate.
let none of this earth inherit the vision of my spirit.
from the pinnacle to the pit.
you have the power, you wear the crown.
from the pinnacle to the pit, it is a long way down.
in your empire, they stare and frown.
you are cast out from the heavens to the ground, blackened feathers falling down.
you will wear your independence like a crown.
i feel your presence amongst us.
you cannot hide in the darkness.
can you hear the rumble thatâs calling?
i know your soul is not tainted even though youâve been told so.
i can feel the thunder thatâs breaking in your heart.
i can see through the scars inside you.
a candle casting a faint glow, you and i see eye to eye.
now there is nothing between us.
from now, our merge is eternal.
canât you see that youâre lost? canât you see that youâre lost without me?
weâre standing here by the abyss, and the world is in flames.
two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names.
heâs the shining and the light without whom i cannot see.
he is insurrection, he is spite, heâs the force that made me be.
we are hiding here inside a dream.
all our doubts are now destroyed.
the guidance of the morning star will lead the way into the void.
he is the disobedience that holds us together.
we are falling over the precipice.
i was carried on a wolfâs back, here to corrupt humanity.
iâll bury you in treasures just to feed your incapacity.
youâre the possessĂŠe (possessed) of avarice, iâm the ruler of the earth.
i will smother you in riches âtil you choke on sordid mirth.
iâm the magnet for stupidity.
heâs sitting sacred and profound, in midst of sinners looking up to kiss his crown.
pathetic humans in despair.
a fallen angel in his glare, in midst of sinners kneeling down before his clout.
all beauty lies within [you].
this oasis is a poisoned well of rotting carcasses that clog the deep.
ever since you were born youâve been dying.
every day a little more, youâve been dying.
as a child, with your mind on the horizon.
all those things that you desire, you will find here in the fire.
put your hands up and reach for the sky.
youâll be down on your knees and youâll cry.
youâre still asking for the sun.
is this your time of need?
youâre turning to the light.
you had just begun to explore the dark in the urban night.
the world is on fire, and you are here to stay and burn with me.
we are here to revel forevermore.
youâre so goddamn frail, failing for a change.
you just had to know all about the world, but you will never know.
no one ever told you how.
we are tied as one eternally.
all of your imaginations are now running down your face.
youâre doing fine worshiping your lord, standing in his grace.
living in the night, âneath devils torn asunder.
you call on me to solve a crooked rhyme.
you call on me as bells begin to chime.
are you ready to swear right here, right now, before the devil?
ignite our dreams of starry skies.
take me internally, forever yours.
do or die, whatâs done is done.
true beauty lies on the blue horizon.
who or why, whatâs one is one.
whatever burns, burns eternally.
when iâm on fire, my body will be forever yours.
i believe that you could be what i need to believe.
it just keeps coming âround again.
you have given me all and thereâs nothing left to do.
well, i was born an original sinner.
i was born from original sin.
if i had a dollar bill for all the things iâve done, thereâd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin.
my mother told me good, my mother told me strong. she said, âbe true to yourself and you canât go wrong.â
donât mess with a missionary man.
well, the missionary man, heâs got god on his side.
heâs got the saints and apostles backinâ up from behind.
heâs a man with a mission, got a serious mind.
he said, âstop what youâre doinâ, get down up on your knees. iâve got a message for you that you better believe.â
there was silence over the ocean.
a voice came thundering from above.
the first day of light was in motion.
no one knew where they ended.
now, no one heard that voice anymore.
the earth was like an open sore.
