61 year old man here. I stumbled upon a ghost video about a year ago, and I asked my friend if he had heard about this new band ghost. He laughed at me because I had never heard of them. I’m a big Prog fan from the old days. A bit of a deadhead too. I’ve been watching ghost on KZbin for a solid year. I’m so addicted!❤

[@Captainamericaswifereal]

As a young fan (14) I really hope you're rocking on! :)

Im the same as u but. 13 loved them when i was 10 lol

you aren't much older than my dad who is 54 and he introduced me to ghost about 3 years ago I'm 18 right now and me and him listen to it while gaming with my mother and my sister

"this song is about sex" -Papa

[@iniquity7]

I love how this song ends, it's just a masterpiece

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

It's not that I dislike the newer Ghost stuff, but man do I miss this little era. Monstrance Clock is an easy all-time favourite from the band here.

[@cosmic7846]

I hear that. I do dislike newer Ghost stuff; I only consider the first three albums to be true Ghost. After Tobias's original bandmates sued him for withholding payment and erroneously calling the band a "solo project", things went downhill.

[@NPC1921]

​@@cosmic7846Correlation without causation. Tobias had written Rats since before Meliora and had an idea for an "imperial album" (Impera) since 2013

[@jebmcanally6435]

Come together as one ...straight from allister Crowleys book of ritual .....masterpeice and beautifully naurotic...much love to this!

[@ricardopalomo4183]

Jeb do you know the name of that book?

[@juliegogola4647]

A source online says this song is about the female orgasm. I say that is BS, Tobias as Papa EM 2 had said things about female orgasm in concert maybe referencing a few lines from that song,so, it seems that people have thought the song was about it. I am sure the song is much more complex than that.

[@MonstrMatt]

@@juliegogola4647 No its just about fucking and orgasms. Tobi is a huge perv like many of us.

[@vanquishingrace5043]

Such a beautifully sinister song. A masterpiece. But what Ghost song isn't great?

Impera is good but the whole album is kinda boring and not my style but its still good and they are all very talented

[@themadgamer4571]

Ah I get why they are called Ghost now. There is the Father (Lucifer) the Son (Antichrist) and the unholy spirit (Ghost)

[@ALEXGIBSONCMG]

close, but not quite, In Gnosticism, the Antichrist is anyone acting in opposition to Christ, not a singular unit of an unholy trinity per se, and we as humans are all antichrist, because we sin. In Gnosticism Lucifer is the Christ, cast down from heaven by his fellow angels or gods (little g), for rebelling against he order of the void and creating the world in it. that Jesus was dethroned, cast to earth as man in the virgin birth of Mary, and redeemed by the crucifixion, the one called satan is the spirit of death, and the royal guard of the Christ kingdom. in essence anyway. looking at Ghost through the gnostic lens makes sense of it, even the parts about sexuality, and all. Research Gnosticism, it's an interesting subject, and flies in the face of traditional Christianity. I am thoroughly convinced Ghost is a Gnostic band, more so each time i listen to it, "the guidance of the morning star will lead the way into the void,"

[@reptilesgamers00]

@@ALEXGIBSONCMG Wait. Are you said Lucifer was cast of out heaven, which Is the Jesus we know that came to earth? "cast down from heaven by his fellow angels or gods (little g), for rebelling against he order of the void and creating the world in it. that Jesus was dethroned, cast to earth as man in the virgin birth of Mary,"

Amazing song great band

[@peterroberts4415]

Jim Morrison would be proud of this song

[@juliegogola4647]

A Monstrance clock was a popular thing in the Renisance ( misspelled ,sorry) period. It was used in rituals, it was a gold colored time piece that kept time. I can't remember all of what Wikipedia said about it, BUT, it was a real clock from what I had read. There are pics of it online, it looked like a chalice sorta BUT it was NOT a chalice. Just do a websearch to see the thing, it looks odd to a non Catholic, BUT, to anyone who was ever a Catholic you can totally picture it in a Catholic church mass. As far as what Tobias means about it in this song, I can't imagine that strange clock like thing making any noise, especially an eerie sound, BUT it makes for great lyrics to a great song.

[@MonstrMatt]

The songs about the female orgasm.

@@MonstrMatt yes but she is informing us what a monstrance clock is and it's used for and they are usually seen in a catholic church for a service

Story be told the writer of the band sold his soul to Lucifer for kick ass music. And he promised to keep him as a servant as long as he made hypnotizing music to lure in more followers.

[@bubbablanco3013]

Agreed

[@ALEXGIBSONCMG]

In the gnostic view Lucifer and Christ are synonymous, something to consider.

[@reptilesgamers00]

@@ALEXGIBSONCMG ?? So Christ being Jesus. Are you saying he views Jesus and Lucifer as the same person? Or The devil being the actual christ?

[@DJ_A.I]

@@reptilesgamers00 Well Jesus and Lucifer can be referred to as "the Morningstar", so there's another detail

[@bryanhiltibidal514]

Ghost.

[@juliegogola4647]

I am likely overthinking these lyrics BUT, just who was "lucifers son?" I was raised a Christian, I went to Catholic school until grade 4, I went to church until my late 30's, BUT, I never heard a thing about Lucifer having a son.

[@ratchet9868]

I thought they were the antichrist? I'm an athiest though, so i could be entirly wrong. :)

[@whahappon3771]

Papa Emeritus

[@whahappon3771]

No, that would be Lucifer’s Son

[@themadgamer4571]

No mentioning of the antichrist ever in your religious community?

[@davidking6910]

Julie Gogola you should watch Supernatural.

[@borbor78]

This song is better than heroin

[@Zintendo]

What exactly is the monstrance clock?

[@Scoota31]

I'm guessing he's referring to the doomsday clock, which signifies how close we are to Armageddon. "Lucifer's son" would be the antichrist and the antichrist brings Armageddon. So basically he's singing about the end of days. Typical stuff for Ghost.

[@Zintendo]

+Scotty B reading, first 8 words had me say oh shit lol

[@vanquishingrace5043]

Zintendo a monstrance clock is a clock made during the renaissance.

[@noahnewsom7424]

a monstrance clock is like a count down to a religious event such as the doomsday that is ghost mentions in the song

[@threeletteragent]

This song is a metaphor for ritual sex. Its meant to be "Monstrous Cock".
