I know, I'm late af, I just thought It was funny that you mention finding fictional characters to attach the song to because, for me, this song and Mary on a Cross were so impactful that I actually ended up creating 3 characters of my own based entirely around these songs.

What the? Was that semacherub? I paused it and still couldn’t decipher that butchered lyric lol. Loved your reaction despite the lyric video. Check out more Ghost songs when you get the chance

Hypatia was a very important woman in Alexandria and Christians killed her. That's what this song is about.

so freaking good!!

love ghost

Singers sing what they can Floor sings what she wants ❤😊

This song live is exponentially better!

I thought you wouls cry cause ig et so emotional wirh half there songs

❤

"reh-spit" "spite-ul"

The word is "Anthemic".

But really I think the people that don't have the spirit of God you're really getting into this and really romanticize the devil in their minds

You know the devil is doing is on Andis nowadays he's really done it but this song I can see somebody at a church singing along to this without even know what the hell they're saying kind of

My favorite on this album

Ends the way it starts. Rise and fall of Empires. Beautiful

best track on the album!

It's both

Enjoyed your review :)

Bon Jovi...😇😄

If they started with the guitar. I’d be all over this! But the start shit the bed

The album is a out rise & fall of empires

From, We Are Leaving The City and the next seven lines are a true tribute to Europe and The Final Countdown. Love that.

This album was produced by the devil himself! I have reported the original video and you should to! I have asked my church group to as well and it is not good for the minds of anyone. GODD will rise and protect y’all from this hokey sin! BELIBE in god y’all!

I first heard this song and it reminded me of ax ex whom I screwed things up so bad with and I felt the need to write a poem about our relationship and this song just spurred it all

Tobias has said that he wrote this song when thinking about Mike Pence (Just a little context). MY favorite one on the album for sure.

Its very freaky with latino…very Great..Love it 🤘🏻

I Love Papa 😍

I like your reaction a lot, youre so charismatic :)

Linda música, entre as melhores do Ghost, ainda Cirice é a música que melhor define o Ghost.

🖤😘 greetings from Brazil

beautiful song!

I love how you get soooo into the music! You're just like me. Enjoyed watching this. Keep rockin', Gurl... 🤟😎🎸

i'm 50 this group has restored my faith in rock music. I haven't heard anything this good in many years. The music at the end of this song is a repeat of the beginning of the album, brilliant.

Got very heavy "Poison" by Alice Cooper vibes from this one!

This song is actually incredible. The last two minutes of it gives just gives this shivering and awesome moment. Closing off the album the way they started it, is a power move

It's about a manipulate and abusive relationship. So in an obtuse way, it does relate to the themes of Heart of Darkness, as colonialism was a manipulative and abusive relationship. To me personally, it reminds me of waking up from the mirage called The American Dream.

Im 60 yrs old been to hundreds of concerts dating back to the 70s...Ive seen some epic ones...Floor is hands down the greatest female vocalist in my lifetime...hail to the Queen

New sub, hope you continue your Nightwish journey.

Heavy or not.. a good song is a good song, right? :)

"the wall" from pink floyd do the same effect with the entire album. is a masterpiece. ghost is a mind blowing band.

If you heard Nightwish and GLS years ago it was probably with one of the earlier singers. Floor has taken the song into a whole new realm (Wacken 2013 probably being the definitive rendition), largely, but not totally, with ‘her ending’ to the song. This is the GLS by which the Valkyrie Queen induces Floorgasms and steals souls. And THAT was a Floorgasm.

OOh, that Tapas reference is great! What a perfect way to describe the diversity in their songs. I think I might use that one when I try and explain Ghost to my friends...so far all I can do to describe them is "Imagine if Black Sabbath had a baby with Abba which grew up to like Bon Jovi." XD I really liked this song (especially the catchy chorus) and thought it was very clever. Hypatia was a Pagan who was molested and brutally murdered by Roman Christians in the Caesareum for her beleif and teachings of math and science. This was back when Christianity was in it's infancy, when they were like an underground Cult. The song, at least to me, is desribing how Christianity and empires (like the Roman Empire) was built on this travesty. "We are building our empire From the ashes of an old Kaisarion." "It is the truth of candor shown Through a prism of deceit" "Kaisarion Put on the smiles And throw your holy rocks right at her For her satanic wiles" It is excellent!

🤗🍒👍🏻😘

Hearing this track live has to be one hell of an experience, i'm so obsessed with this song

😘👍Welkom in the world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen Greetings from the Netherlands

Hope you also will enjoy all your next "Floorgasms".

Bashing in fence-posts with a sledgehammer for the paddock!

I remember the rush of feelings coming to me when I heard this for the first time, first new proper Ghost song since Prequelle and I was so excited, lets just say it was my number 2 most played song in 2021 even though it only came out in late 21 :D

You probably heard Tarja sing earlier. She did only operatic style. The second singer Anette did only « poppish». Floor sings what you as her to sing. As in any style or form😎😎😈

I came into this album with a huge love for Hunters Moon and Call Me Little Sunshine. Now I cant get enough of Griftwood and Respite of the Spitalfields.
