And while that is beautiful in its rebelliousness...the better is not needing the focus of rebellion or rebellion itself. Glory in isolation is a reflection of perfection.
"..praise and worship church.." ..which one - the church of satan? the devil will never win against God and who believes otherwise is an utter moronic fool
Dave Grohl only played select shows with Ghost and they won't reveal when he was in the band and how long for. I know the members of Ghost (not personally ha) but I'm not going to reveal it, I'm not one of those assholes. Great band, very talented.
@@vonzox Like a lot of Ghost songs there are multiple layers to it. It is most definitely also about Satan. Tobias' brother introduced him to a lot of the (metal) music that inspired him
+Lost in Time Productions no one would be the wiser, they'd all be too busy filling the preachers pockets with money so he can buy a million dollar jet plane that god told him to buy...with the leather interior
+Lost in Time Productions if you did do that i would personally come see it cause i love the song that is if i could keep myself from laughing like Leonardo G. Alfaro P lol
+Lost in Time Productions I have listened to pop gospel youth bands like hillsong united and Ghost sounds a lot like them the only difference are the satanic lyrics.Ghost has a dark ominous sound that is only heightened by their image its nice to see a different view of doom metal
+agarci7 Well first off, I am a Chatholic; however my views are not always aligned with that of the church. That being said I fucking love this band. When read your comment i about fell off my chair. I laughed so hard....... with leather interior, But God told me to do it XD hahaha XD

True Story I'm in hospital right now gall bladder stones my neighbor wouldn't stfu with their bs trying to convert me I put ghost on threw some shades on and watched the world burn. Find me on snapchat to see the Lord compel me @nutterbudder69
the bassist is a girl... MEGAN.. from Les Zepplin cover band in New York....trust me.... Dave Grohl has even played drums live....just better to be unnamed ...keeps the shit down...they can live their lives...they say they still get recognized just by their eyes....
Despite What people say when they hear me listening to Ghost, I don't worship the big guy down stairs. These guys are just masterful song writers with a theme. A lot of songs of theirs are deeply metaphorical.
I read somewhere that they write music and perform as if Satanism had developed like Christianity did. I look at them as performers playing a role; they're no more satanists than Al Pacino is for playing Satan in The Devil's Advocate or Tom Ellis is for playing Lucier in the TV show.
to be fair, modern satanists don’t believe in/worship satan. its all meant to be a metaphorical rebellion against oppressive religion and celebration of individuality. Ghost is touring right now with a Satanic doo-wop band (Twin Temple) and Volbeat. I recently went to their show… The crowd shouting “hail satan” in unison was powerful. the singer of twin temple opened with an invocation to satan to be a guiding light to scientific understanding, away from supernatural fears, away from bigotry, etc. the symbolism treats it like a parody of catholicism alongside a secular humanist philosophy. at the concert, even volbeat’s singer was wearing satanic symbols and using “devil” and baphomet imagery its definitely meant to evoke actual satanism, just not a literal devil-worship kind.
@@minette36 Just needed to make a slight correction. Yes lot's of Satanist's these day's don't worship Satan/Lucifer. these are called LaVeyan Satanist's and to them Satan is seen as a symbol rather than an actual being. Then you have Theistic Satanist's that actually believe in Lucifer/Satan as an actual being. and yes satanism in general is about celebrating freedom, individuality and knowledge.
3 months ago I buried my grandfather, the next day after ceremony I met this song... My grandpa was the biggest authority in my life. He was the light that enlighted my life path. He raised me, he taught me and he showed me how the man should be. For me, HE IS.
+Ode For Cruelty majesty is mine, but this and cirice alone are by far the most epic songs i've heard from a band in years, the last time an album gave me goosebumps like this was triviums shogun album
as a classical philology student, i so fucking appreciate all latin in ghost's music, like, shit, these all hits different. nostra dis pater, nostr' alma mater
I'm Christian and I listen to this and other satanic musicians. It's music. People give it power or not. Anyone could easily change this song to be about Jesus Christ and yes, they made it song like a Christian hymn to be ironic. I think that both are different sides of the same coin so no one should fool themselves that they are smiting anyone or anything. Energy cannot be destroyed, only transmuted. I listened to satanic music as a teen and was an occultist. Same to the light of Jesus later on. Just remember that satan may have fallen to earth with a bolt of lightning and may be referred to as the illuminator/'truth' teller, but that was the lightning of God's creation that he bolted through on. Make no mistake. We coexist- both sides of the coin.
Drea East Coast- It's kind of funny. How people who think that dark and scary music isn't listened to by Christians. But I know that really isn't the point. I was born and raised a Catholic. I know what the past history is, and the recent evil of what they have done. And unlike many, I don't forgive or forget so easily. Years ago I worked with a guy who was a Mormon. I can't say that I know much about that denomination, I don't. Point is, he confessed to me that Alice in Chains was his favorite band. Layne Staley was still alive at that time. So I asked him what was his favorite song by Alice in Chains. He said "Get Born Again". I was fucking rolling, I laughed, because it was mine too. The darkest music ever made was based off of Christianity. Wasn't the "Exorcist" touted as the best horror movie of all time? What did Black Sabbath, Dio, Alice in Chains, Iron Maiden have against Christianity? Well nothing. They knew there was a market. Bands like Celtic Frost might have a different motivation, but before the advent of the internet I did hear their music. I remember seeing the first album cover that I saw from them. It was Jesus on a crucifix made to be a sling shot. And I think it was a demon wielding it. Fuck it, that's awesome. I wasn't offended. I do understand Black Metal. I do understand that some people have felt that their heritage was stolen. Some would like to return to their heritage, to the gods and religion that was theirs. Before they were forced to adopt Christianity. I get that. And they should have the freedom to do that. Long live Rock-n-Roll, freedom, Jesus (he did build my hot rod, gotta give him props) Odin and Sleipnir his eight legged horse, Anubis. Oh, and of course Lucifer. the most beautiful angel, loved more above all angels. There is so much more.
+slaSSification Well, six years - and still going - is longer than some other artists make it and they won a Grammy this year. They've gained in popularity with each new album and are working on their 4th, so we'll see.
Illumirage Yeah, no way. They're going to ride it as long as they can, and when/if it conks, they'll keep going with their other bands. They've still got those simmering on the back burner in various stages of hiatus. They'll always be doing something.
I let you the meaning of "Nostro Dis Pater - Nostr'Alma Mater", imho the most important line of this wonderful song. ...and please, if you want, read the post scriptum ad the end of this loooong nerdy comment. ----Nostro Dis Pater Both the words are a mix of modern italian and latin. First half italian, second half latin. Now let's check out the meaning of the words: - "Nostro" means "our". In latin it should be "Noster", from "noster, nostra, nostrum", masculine, feminine, and neuter latin words. In italian, the neuter gender is not used anymore: there's only "nostro" for masculine and "nostra" for feminine, both meaning "our". - Dis Pater: here we have the first interesting thing, that gives to the song a very special meaning. "Dis" is a latin word that comes from the latin word "dives": it means "rich". "Pater", as you probably can figure it out, it's the latin word for "father". In italian it is the origin of our "Padre", for the french "Pere", for the german "Vater"... and for Star Wars "Vader" (Darth Vader sounds so similar to Dark Father ). So we have the Dis Pater as a "Rich father" or "Father of richness". When in the song Tobias sings "Nostro Dis Pater" he is thanking and adoring "Ouf Father of richness". What kind of richness? Well, material richness. The ancient Dis Pater god is also called Pluto. Pluto was not the dog of Mickey Mouse. "Pluto" was the ancient greek god of richness, son of Demetra, sister of Jupiter. Have you ever heard about "plutocracy"? So, here we have the first meaning of "He is - Nostro Dis Pater": "He is, our Father of richness". But "Dis Pater" has another meaning. In the ancient times (and still now, somewhere), the "material richness" was represented by bronze, gold, silver, copper, tin etc. If you were a man of the 1500 b.C. you could have found them only by digging. Digging underground. This material richness literally underground. So the God of richness, is also the God of the underground richness. This ancient God of Richness ended up being associated with the concept of the pagan "afterlife". Of course, the ancient Greek and Latin religion did not have Cristian heaven and hell. There was only one "afterlife", the Hades. So the old God Dis Pater became the other name/symbol of the greek god Hades himself, the God of the Underworld. What's the latin name of Hades? Pluto. So we have two Dis Pater: the Pluto of the richness, and the Pluto of the underworld. The line "He is - Nostro Dis Pater" now get a new meaning: "He is - our God of Underworld". Hey, wait a minute! Tobias in almost all songs speaks of the Christian religion and its Prince of Darkness: Satan, or Lucifer, the morning star that Tobias mentions right at the beginning of the song. And what better way to celebrate Satan, if not by representing him with the name of one of the most ancient deities who inspired his figure? We westerners still believe in the ancient greek and latin undeground: we just changed its name in "Hell". And we still afraid of the Devil. Why? Because he can condemn us to eternal suffering. Maybe you know the immortal italian poet Dante Alighieri, who lived in the 1300 and basically "invented" italian language and all the mythology we still believe in. In his masterpiece poem "The Comedy", or "The Divine Comedy", he tells us his fantastic travel through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. The poem is full of elements of classical pagan mythology, Christian mythology, philosophy and is a cruel commentary on Italian society in the 1300s. In the Hell (or Inferno) he invented, Dante shows us how the souls of the dead are judged on the basis of their sins and divided into groups, on the basis of the sins committed. Dante calls "Dite" the eternal city of Hell were he puts the souls of those who committed sins voluntarily. In latin, the word "Dis" is used in this way: dis, ditis, diti, ditem, dis... and dite. So to conclude our reasoning about "Dis Pater": Tobias sings about "Him", our Dis Pater, who is our God of Richness, but also the God of Underground, the pagan Hades and the Christian Hell. So, basically, Satan. And Tobias tells us t we must celebrate Him: because he can brings us richness, but also can condemn us to eternal suffering, burning in hell. Not bad, for only two simple words. Not let's moving on to the second half of the line.
-------Nostr'Alma Mater Also this one is half italian and half latin. I already told you about "nostr' and its meaning, so let's focus on the word Alma Mater. "Mater" is the latin word for italian "madre", english "mother", german "mutter" etc. "Alma" has two meanings. Alma was - and sometimes is - used by italian poets for the italian word "anima", which means "soul". So, "Alma Mater" could be... Mother Soul. Well, it is not very convincing!! But Alma is still a female name used in Italy. The female name Alma comes from the latin adjective "almus - alma - almum" which literally means nourishing, who feeds us and take care of us. So, Nostr'Alma Mater means "Our Mother who feeds us". Now we have: Our Father of Richness - Our Mother who feeds us. But how does she feed us? Which kind of... food? The most ancient university of the world, founded in a.D. 1088, is the University of Bologna, Italy. If you search for it on Google, you will find that the full name of that university is "Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna". So here we have the second, metaphoric meaning of the "Alma Mater" of the song: knowledge. The "Nostr'Alma Mater" of the song is a Mother who feeds us with knowledge and gives us wisdom. And who is, in christian mythology, the Mother who feeds the human being and gives him knowledge? Yes. The Holy Mary. The mother of Jesus, who lives in Heaven. So now I can conclude the reasoning. What does "Nostro Dis Pater - nostr'Alma Mater" means? It means "Our father of richness - our mother who feeds us". "He is" the one who takes care of us, giving us economic and physical well-being. But also it means "Our father of material richness - our mother of knowledge". "He is" the one who gives us gold, silver... in a word, money, so power. But "he is" also the one who gives us knowledge, wisdom, who take care of our minds and thoughts. And so he gives us the power to think about us, our future, our destinty. The last one meaning? "Nostro Dis Pater - Nostr'Alma Mater" could mean "Our Satan - our Holy Mary". So here we have the most controversial interpretation of the line: on first there's Satan, the Evil, the Male. Then we have Holy Mary, the Good, the Female. Evil and Evil, Male and Female, Hell and Heaven, Darkness and Light. Not bad, for a line with only 6 words. What can I say? Well... Tobias studied well the classics and... damn, he's so good with lyrics!!!! Hope you find all this interesting! Sorry for my english and bye from Italy
*p.s: About a year ago I wrote basically this identical comment... and thousands of you liked it so much. But some months ago I changed my user-id on RUclips and all my past comments, included that one, has been delated. That's why I wrote it again, with more informations.
+tim andreu I'm not agry there is similar but the harmony is not the same ( the rythme and the sound either) at this level we have to creat new gamme if we want to make a very new music it's dosen't make sence
OMG!!! I love this SONG!!! AMAZING!!! Do not know if I like Cirice as much now. GO GHOST GO!!! You ARE AWESOME!!! Your Little Cirice :-). I wish You that You win the GRAMMYS!!!
This was the song that l singed for my grandfather in his funeral.... because he was a shinning light without the one I couldn't see, he was the force that make me be..... whenever he stay now thanks for everything, fot that wonderfull remembers, thanks for all my dear old man :')
One of the 3 times that I saw them live I got a very special treat. They performed an acoustic version of "Jigolo Har Megiddo". The guitar (riff) played at the end of the lyric "Harvesting crops of fields that others have plowed" was SO BEAUTIFUL on an acoustic guitar. It's one of the best memories I have from a live show. I enjoyed it much more than the studio version. Check if you can find a video of it. It's excellent.
+Yago Reck Hope you hear their other songs (especially from this album, Meliora) such as "Cirice" ... and others. You might like all of them. Also, I always say that there are no better ballads than those metal bands create (Metallica - "Nothing Else Matters", and this song as well are both sheer masterpieces).
***** I have to disagree with you Chris.The Book Of Souls is a tour de force. Absolutely brilliant. But if you don't like it that's ok too. Each to their own.
Just discovered this, and I am blown away. I'm an old guy who never believed I would hear the likes of the past masters in their prime (early 1970's), like Alice Cooper or Blue Oyster Cult, again in my lifetime, but these Swedes have done it (not saying they crib from the old bands...Ghost is amazingly original). Metal from the dark side with a talent for melody, and in this one, truly gorgeous harmonies and intelligent lyrics. Venning into Eric Woolfson territory with this single. Highly proficient musicians and vocal work. Listening to various tracks, I'm discovering fantastic diversity in style. Really, I have to thank Sweden for giving us the previous rockers TSOOL, and now Ghost, since Americans and even the Brits don't, or can't, do this any more. In the post-rock era, you just don't expect to find stuff like this, original, and instantly classic. I understand their act, their schtick, and I love it. They're in their prime, like their fans. I sincerely hope they continue their ascension.
Because music is of the material world, and since traditional satanists believe in endorsing hedonistic values it then goes hand-in-hand. Thus arguably though, ALL music could be considered satanic. Do as thou wilst.
Goth_Liv Kitty me too. It’s not how Christian is supposed to act but you really think teenagers in this generation are gonna be 100% holy all the time😂
Same here. I consider myself Christian, but I don’t judge others or limit my music tastes. I still bang out metal and dress like a freak. Even with the Satanic references, I genuinely dig Ghost and I dig what they do with the theatrics.
+Angy meja posers??? Unos flacos que nunca quisieron revelar su identidad?? POSERS?? Deje de repetir todo como loro, no sea ignorante y evítese quedar como ridícula comentando las idioteces que dice en RUclips. Vaya y ponga su reggaetón, vaya, vaya.
Someone needs to convince a Christian radio station to play this and then sit back and watch all the Christians enjoy a song about the glory of Satan lma
+Michael Dine Why do you have such a vendetta against Christians to want to defile their place of worship or sermons? For people who have liberated themselves you are very bitter and resentful... If you are truly free you should be able to move on.
as a theistic satanist, this song means so much to me. no matter what the actual meaning is, i always associate it with Lucifer and i feel so close to him when listening to this amazing band. i wish there were more songs like this one, even though He is darkness, rebelliousness and "badassery", he also is the light, a light that just peacefully shines, tempting but never forcing, so tender and truly safe, unconditional love that does not expect obedience in return but wishes for all of us to feel pleasure, both material and spiritual, to listen to ourselves instead of preaching what to believe in. to me, this is what Satan sounds like. calming, powerful and dreamlike, the sound of freedom without restraints. thank you for letting me see, even what they don't want me to, thank you for the wisdom and the strength to stand proud in a world that wants us to kneel and pray. and thank you Ghost for this beautiful song.
Just out of curiosity how do you justify being a theistic satanist without running into the moral dillemna of being like "oh wait thats actually satan"?. Ive always wondered; do you just reinterpret the biblical canon to where lucifer was just misunderstood or do you still think hes the devil and just dont care. I think luciferianism os cool because its about the freedom and knowledge aspect but it doesnt work within a theistic framework so are you an actual satanist or a lucifarian?
Theistic Satanism is the way to go, I'm not a fan of Atheistic Satanism, since it's just Atheism with some added "edgyness". Anyway, I've always felt a strong connection to Lucifer. Even when I was like 6 years old, a bunch of other kids were talking about God at the lunch table and for some reason (I still don't know why) I just said "I believe in the devil" and the other kids looked at me like I was insane.
Satan is negative energy expressed through the prism of matter. God is his logical opposite. The church hid a lot of secrets to get money and control so profession to the logical opposite of that makes you all good people. Your motivation is right, in being wrong,.......... even if the whole story would change your world. Events are so close to happening I can smell the noise from here. The "polar-shift" is upon us and the choice has to be made by every one of us in our hearts....do we remain this meat in hell or realise this is heaven if we remove those who keep us in place and re-create Eden. The universe is four energies, not one! Negative, positive,divide and multiply, interacting in four directions plus the absence of an energy we know as the construct of linear Time, which in 4 dimensions operates differently, and the absence of itself, which we name death but which is the energy called life unfettered by matter so going through it's negative state. Death is not real though, as science was spot-on Energy cannot be destroyed, it will transform into another version of itself. We call this Re-incarnation. We are a store of perspectives unbalanced by unwitting ignorance. This was supposed to be balanced but the church killed the son and forced his twin sister and his mother to run.......their middle name was Mary, their first name was Patricia by the way.....the secret in the line of the father/Pater is rhesus negative blood, a feminine trait! Carried through Tuscany, Southern France and Basque Spain by the Gypsies hiding the daughter from the church. The line ends up in Ireland then England where it is now. The male line the line of Kings is carried through Jesus' little bro Joseph who plants his prick in Glastonbury, England not knowing his sis was really nearby. The Templars knew this but were corrupted, killed or escaped.....to Portugal and Scotland. The royal line of Scotland took the Templar naval flag or Saltire as they're own......when the royal line homogenised with that of England the cross was added to wave a secret in plain site. That's how you draw a 6d universal model. The centre state is achieved by reconciliation of all states together without logical opposition in a single place. Including the absence of itself. This is reconciliation and is expressed as an inverted division sign....so two lines one dot not two dots one line. Balance is everything. We were supposed to exist somewhere between the states in order to find the fulcrum which is in the centre of humanity and which understands all perspectives without judgement or negative associations. Do what thou wilt but do not harm another soul should have been the Law. Be positive and we can change the world. There's so much more....everything is everything, which must include nothing......otherwise it's not everything but that must wait. I need a poo. X
@@plasticity1000 You're in absolutely the wrong place to proselytize. Quit preaching at people who don't share your beliefs and maybe don't watch videos from a SATANIC METAL BAND if their content offends you. The choice is yours.
Sooooo, I've been playing bloodborne today, and have been stuck on this one fucking boss, amygdala in the defiled chalice dungeon, and I start singing along to this, and I beat his Arse, didn't get hit once... Thank you Ghost B.C.
Yes! I'm 52 years young, and when I heard my 20 something year old sons playing this song, I ran into the room asking them who this was, they said, "Ghost" at first I thought The Moody Blues had come out with something new! Lol! But I am hooked, Ghost is right up there for me with my two other favorite bands, Moody Blues and Rammstein, it's as if those two bands had a baby! ~That baby is ~Ghost 💜
Imagine getting this played on one of those Christian radio stations- and then halfway through it, they revel in horror at the realization that it's about Satan...
He is tho, he set me free from the servitude of christianity, nah jk I was free from birth but he allowed me to form my own beliefs and not follow anyone In my family like a sheep.
@@josephang9927 It's definitely not Islam, i think what he means is Luciferaism. Or the worshipping and believing in lucifer. This song is probably meaning Lucifer. I don't know if im right or wrong about this, i don't see Lucifer as god since hes the King of hell, gracious mother probably refers to Lucifers wife, Lillith. But this definitely has nothing to do with Islam. Lucifer teaches people to seek the truth in everything rather than blindly following things and seeing them as the truth and the only truth.
From an artistic and musical standpoint Tobias is a great vocalist and great with lyrics all of the nameless ghouls past and present are top notch musicians.
I had a shower thought: this song is not about the devil or anyone in particular. This song is about... the Sun. We are standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames - abyss is the cosmos and heat and light from the Sun is the flames. Two star-crossed lovers - the Sun is a star and crosses all lovers ever. A beast with many names - Sun has more names than we can count, every language ever in existence has at least one. A shining of the light without whom we can not see - basically the main function of the Sun for us. Even a tiny ray of light from the sun through a crack is enough to let us see in completely pitch black room. Insurrection, he is spite - no one has any command over the Sun, the Sun does whatever he wants to do. He exists in spite of everything. He's the force that made me be - sunlight is one of the main factors in the creation of life. Without it we wouldn't be. Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater - lit. translates as "our pushing father, our nourishing mother". The sun drives us into action every day and gives us energy to live. We're hiding here inside a dream - we sleep at night when the Sun is away. The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void - Sun is the main morning star, the void is again the cosmos. The disobedience that holds us together - again, the Sun obeys no one and the day is what allows the society to function, And we are falling over the precipice - the uncontrolled movement of the galaxies, the stars and the worlds through the cosmos can be called "falling". And there's this part of the video at 3:33. What's that appearing in the background if not the Sun? Not to mention the dark sphere at the beginning of the song with strings emerging from it that look similar to the Sun's coronal loops. This song praises the Sun. Of course... anyone is free to interpret it in their own way. But I choose the Sun. Praise the Sun! ☀ \[T]/
Laerei oh wow yeah it could be pretty much the sun i like how you saw it in a different pov not necessarily the devil because thats the 1st thing that pops up with ghosts songs with people
Beautiful song. It reminds me of my sister who's locked up right now, who's my heart, my best friend, and the only person who completely understands me. Thank you so much for this piece of beauty in the world.
Ho-ly shit...I'm going through these random comments, and look who I run into...I'm really sorry about your sister. Just know that there is a complete stranger, probably far away from you, who is thinking about you at this very moment. Hope you are doing super fantastical!
This song is so good and it will always have a very special place in my heart, as it is the first song I heared by Ghost. Papa's voice has a devilish feature in it and that's why it's sooo amazing!!!!
+Molly Cristin I saw them at the Rialto in Tucson, such a great live act! I was a fan before, but I hope I get to see them live again before they start selling out arenas lol
With my phone in my pocket,this song played on my RUclips, had it on repeat like 10times, finally decided to check my phone for the title and I saw the lyrics...am a Christian so listening to this without paying attention to the lyrics really hits the spot. Great voices!
I had no idea this band existed until I saw Papa Emeritus II (found his name only an hour ago) in a meme. I was really drawn to him for some reason. I looked into it further, found this song and really liked it.
+Freeze Frozen I think Ghost borrow heavily from all kind of places. Compare the verse of 'Ritual' with the verse of Mercyful fate's 'A Dangerous meeting', compare the chorus with Mercyful Fates 'Return of the vampire'.
yes thats true, they borrow from every kind of band and musicians. ( Like 99,99% of creative people I think.) Anyway, they borrow from good artists and render it with heart & talent
+Freeze Frozen Finally someone else who recognized the Sound of Silence in the rhythm here. Thank you! (and I like what you did there with the name.) XD

It is also one of those songs you wish to christ YOU'D written

Jeff MacInnis it worked for me
Despite What people say when they hear me listening to Ghost, I don't worship the big guy down stairs.
These guys are just masterful song writers with a theme. A lot of songs of theirs are deeply metaphorical.
I read somewhere that they write music and perform as if Satanism had developed like Christianity did.
I look at them as performers playing a role; they're no more satanists than Al Pacino is for playing Satan in The Devil's Advocate or Tom Ellis is for playing Lucier in the TV show.
to be fair, modern satanists don’t believe in/worship satan. its all meant to be a metaphorical rebellion against oppressive religion and celebration of individuality. Ghost is touring right now with a Satanic doo-wop band (Twin Temple) and Volbeat. I recently went to their show… The crowd shouting “hail satan” in unison was powerful. the singer of twin temple opened with an invocation to satan to be a guiding light to scientific understanding, away from supernatural fears, away from bigotry, etc. the symbolism treats it like a parody of catholicism alongside a secular humanist philosophy. at the concert, even volbeat’s singer was wearing satanic symbols and using “devil” and baphomet imagery
its definitely meant to evoke actual satanism, just not a literal devil-worship kind.
@@minette36 I was VERY disappointed by that show. I was promised that there would be a Satanic orgy, but it never happened.
@@nerrickk9024 Well next time *you* could make it happen!
@@minette36 Just needed to make a slight correction. Yes lot's of Satanist's these day's don't worship Satan/Lucifer. these are called LaVeyan Satanist's and to them Satan is seen as a symbol rather than an actual being. Then you have Theistic Satanist's that actually believe in Lucifer/Satan as an actual being. and yes satanism in general is about celebrating freedom, individuality and knowledge.

couldn't agree more
My parents are Christians and they hate my music, but when they heard this they thought I finally let some Jesus in me. Still no, ma.
I understand you
I'm Christian and I listen to this and other satanic musicians. It's music. People give it power or not. Anyone could easily change this song to be about Jesus Christ and yes, they made it song like a Christian hymn to be ironic. I think that both are different sides of the same coin so no one should fool themselves that they are smiting anyone or anything. Energy cannot be destroyed, only transmuted. I listened to satanic music as a teen and was an occultist. Same to the light of Jesus later on. Just remember that satan may have fallen to earth with a bolt of lightning and may be referred to as the illuminator/'truth' teller, but that was the lightning of God's creation that he bolted through on. Make no mistake. We coexist- both sides of the coin.
Drea East Coast- It's kind of funny. How people who think that dark and scary music isn't listened to by Christians. But I know that really isn't the point. I was born and raised a Catholic. I know what the past history is, and the recent evil of what they have done. And unlike many, I don't forgive or forget so easily.
Years ago I worked with a guy who was a Mormon. I can't say that I know much about that denomination, I don't. Point is, he confessed to me that Alice in Chains was his favorite band.
Layne Staley was still alive at that time.
So I asked him what was his favorite song by Alice in Chains. He said "Get Born Again".
I was fucking rolling, I laughed, because it was mine too.
The darkest music ever made was based off of Christianity.
Wasn't the "Exorcist" touted as the best horror movie of all time?
What did Black Sabbath, Dio, Alice in Chains, Iron Maiden have against Christianity? Well nothing. They knew there was a market.
Bands like Celtic Frost might have a different motivation, but before the advent of the internet I did hear their music. I remember seeing the first album cover that I saw from them. It was Jesus on a crucifix made to be a sling shot. And I think it was a demon wielding it. Fuck it, that's awesome. I wasn't offended.
I do understand Black Metal.
I do understand that some people have felt that their heritage was stolen. Some would like to return to their heritage, to the gods and religion that was theirs. Before they were forced to adopt Christianity.
I get that. And they should have the freedom to do that.
Long live Rock-n-Roll, freedom, Jesus (he did build my hot rod, gotta give him props) Odin and Sleipnir his eight legged horse, Anubis. Oh, and of course Lucifer. the most beautiful angel, loved more above all angels.
There is so much more.

Also love this masterpiece, 19.
I let you the meaning of "Nostro Dis Pater - Nostr'Alma Mater", imho the most important line of this wonderful song.
...and please, if you want, read the post scriptum ad the end of this loooong nerdy comment.
----Nostro Dis Pater
Both the words are a mix of modern italian and latin. First half italian, second half latin.
Now let's check out the meaning of the words:
- "Nostro" means "our". In latin it should be "Noster", from "noster, nostra, nostrum", masculine, feminine, and neuter latin words.
In italian, the neuter gender is not used anymore: there's only "nostro" for masculine and "nostra" for feminine, both meaning "our".
- Dis Pater: here we have the first interesting thing, that gives to the song a very special meaning.
"Dis" is a latin word that comes from the latin word "dives": it means "rich".
"Pater", as you probably can figure it out, it's the latin word for "father". In italian it is the origin of our "Padre", for the french "Pere", for the german "Vater"... and for Star Wars "Vader" (Darth Vader sounds so similar to Dark Father ).
So we have the Dis Pater as a "Rich father" or "Father of richness". When in the song Tobias sings "Nostro Dis Pater" he is thanking and adoring "Ouf Father of richness".
What kind of richness? Well, material richness.
The ancient Dis Pater god is also called Pluto. Pluto was not the dog of Mickey Mouse. "Pluto" was the ancient greek god of richness, son of Demetra, sister of Jupiter. Have you ever heard about "plutocracy"?
So, here we have the first meaning of "He is - Nostro Dis Pater": "He is, our Father of richness".
But "Dis Pater" has another meaning.
In the ancient times (and still now, somewhere), the "material richness" was represented by bronze, gold, silver, copper, tin etc. If you were a man of the 1500 b.C. you could have found them only by digging. Digging underground. This material richness literally underground.
So the God of richness, is also the God of the underground richness. This ancient God of Richness ended up being associated with the concept of the pagan "afterlife".
Of course, the ancient Greek and Latin religion did not have Cristian heaven and hell. There was only one "afterlife", the Hades.
So the old God Dis Pater became the other name/symbol of the greek god Hades himself, the God of the Underworld. What's the latin name of
Hades? Pluto.
So we have two Dis Pater: the Pluto of the richness, and the Pluto of the underworld.
The line "He is - Nostro Dis Pater" now get a new meaning: "He is - our God of Underworld".
Hey, wait a minute! Tobias in almost all songs speaks of the Christian religion and its Prince of Darkness: Satan, or Lucifer, the morning star that Tobias mentions right at the beginning of the song.
And what better way to celebrate Satan, if not by representing him with the name of one of the most ancient deities who inspired his figure?
We westerners still believe in the ancient greek and latin undeground: we just changed its name in "Hell". And we still afraid of the Devil. Why? Because he can condemn us to eternal suffering.
Maybe you know the immortal italian poet Dante Alighieri, who lived in the 1300 and basically "invented" italian language and all the mythology we still believe in. In his masterpiece poem "The Comedy", or "The Divine Comedy", he tells us his fantastic travel through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. The poem is full of elements of classical pagan mythology, Christian mythology, philosophy and is a cruel commentary on Italian society in the 1300s.
In the Hell (or Inferno) he invented, Dante shows us how the souls of the dead are judged on the basis of their sins and divided into groups, on the basis of the sins committed.
Dante calls "Dite" the eternal city of Hell were he puts the souls of those who committed sins voluntarily. In latin, the word "Dis" is used in this way: dis, ditis, diti, ditem, dis... and dite.
So to conclude our reasoning about "Dis Pater":
Tobias sings about "Him", our Dis Pater, who is our God of Richness, but also the God of Underground, the pagan Hades and the Christian Hell. So, basically, Satan.
And Tobias tells us t we must celebrate Him: because he can brings us richness, but also can condemn us to eternal suffering, burning in hell.
Not bad, for only two simple words.
Not let's moving on to the second half of the line.
-------Nostr'Alma Mater
Also this one is half italian and half latin. I already told you about "nostr' and its meaning, so let's focus on the word Alma Mater.
"Mater" is the latin word for italian "madre", english "mother", german "mutter" etc.
"Alma" has two meanings.
Alma was - and sometimes is - used by italian poets for the italian word "anima", which means "soul". So, "Alma Mater" could be... Mother Soul. Well, it is not very convincing!!
But Alma is still a female name used in Italy.
The female name Alma comes from the latin adjective "almus - alma - almum" which literally means nourishing, who feeds us and take care of us. So, Nostr'Alma Mater means "Our Mother who feeds us".
Now we have: Our Father of Richness - Our Mother who feeds us.
But how does she feed us? Which kind of... food?
The most ancient university of the world, founded in a.D. 1088, is the University of Bologna, Italy. If you search for it on Google, you will find that the full name of that university is "Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna".
So here we have the second, metaphoric meaning of the "Alma Mater" of the song: knowledge. The "Nostr'Alma Mater" of the song is a Mother who feeds us with knowledge and gives us wisdom.
And who is, in christian mythology, the Mother who feeds the human being and gives him knowledge? Yes. The Holy Mary. The mother of Jesus, who lives in Heaven.
So now I can conclude the reasoning.
What does "Nostro Dis Pater - nostr'Alma Mater" means?
It means "Our father of richness - our mother who feeds us". "He is" the one who takes care of us, giving us economic and physical well-being.
But also it means "Our father of material richness - our mother of knowledge". "He is" the one who gives us gold, silver... in a word, money, so power.
But "he is" also the one who gives us knowledge, wisdom, who take care of our minds and thoughts. And so he gives us the power to think about us, our future, our destinty.
The last one meaning?
"Nostro Dis Pater - Nostr'Alma Mater" could mean "Our Satan - our Holy Mary".
So here we have the most controversial interpretation of the line: on first there's Satan, the Evil, the Male. Then we have Holy Mary, the Good, the Female. Evil and Evil, Male and Female, Hell and Heaven, Darkness and Light.
Not bad, for a line with only 6 words. What can I say?
Well... Tobias studied well the classics and... damn, he's so good with lyrics!!!!
Hope you find all this interesting! Sorry for my english and bye from Italy

All they're acoustic songs have a very haunting nature.... I love it so much.
One of the 3 times that I saw them live I got a very special treat. They performed an acoustic version of "Jigolo Har Megiddo". The guitar (riff) played at the end of the lyric "Harvesting crops of fields that others have plowed" was SO BEAUTIFUL on an acoustic guitar. It's one of the best memories I have from a live show. I enjoyed it much more than the studio version.
Check if you can find a video of it. It's excellent.
Yea, but the message is bad.
This band is possibly the most uplifting band I've ever heard.
I just saw them at Hellfest and found them absolutely brilliant. WOW! Just bought their entire discography.
Same for me, i'm going to buy it today😁 INSANE band
I had the same revelation when I saw them, want to see them on a real concert, read they re even more amazing outside festivals

Just discovered this, and I am blown away. I'm an old guy who never believed I would hear the likes of the past masters in their prime (early 1970's), like Alice Cooper or Blue Oyster Cult, again in my lifetime, but these Swedes have done it (not saying they crib from the old bands...Ghost is amazingly original). Metal from the dark side with a talent for melody, and in this one, truly gorgeous harmonies and intelligent lyrics. Venning into Eric Woolfson territory with this single. Highly proficient musicians and vocal work. Listening to various tracks, I'm discovering fantastic diversity in style. Really, I have to thank Sweden for giving us the previous rockers TSOOL, and now Ghost, since Americans and even the Brits don't, or can't, do this any more. In the post-rock era, you just don't expect to find stuff like this, original, and instantly classic. I understand their act, their schtick, and I love it. They're in their prime, like their fans. I sincerely hope they continue their ascension.

Because music is of the material world, and since traditional satanists believe in endorsing hedonistic values it then goes hand-in-hand.
Thus arguably though, ALL music could be considered satanic. Do as thou wilst.
I'm a Christian but I really like this song. i don't let my religion get in the way of what i listen to

as a theistic satanist, this song means so much to me. no matter what the actual meaning is, i always associate it with Lucifer and i feel so close to him when listening to this amazing band. i wish there were more songs like this one, even though He is darkness, rebelliousness and "badassery", he also is the light, a light that just peacefully shines, tempting but never forcing, so tender and truly safe, unconditional love that does not expect obedience in return but wishes for all of us to feel pleasure, both material and spiritual, to listen to ourselves instead of preaching what to believe in. to me, this is what Satan sounds like. calming, powerful and dreamlike, the sound of freedom without restraints. thank you for letting me see, even what they don't want me to, thank you for the wisdom and the strength to stand proud in a world that wants us to kneel and pray. and thank you Ghost for this beautiful song.
Very well said.
Just out of curiosity how do you justify being a theistic satanist without running into the moral dillemna of being like "oh wait thats actually satan"?. Ive always wondered; do you just reinterpret the biblical canon to where lucifer was just misunderstood or do you still think hes the devil and just dont care. I think luciferianism os cool because its about the freedom and knowledge aspect but it doesnt work within a theistic framework so are you an actual satanist or a lucifarian?
Theistic Satanism is the way to go, I'm not a fan of Atheistic Satanism, since it's just Atheism with some added "edgyness".
Anyway, I've always felt a strong connection to Lucifer. Even when I was like 6 years old, a bunch of other kids were talking about God at the lunch table and for some reason (I still don't know why) I just said "I believe in the devil" and the other kids looked at me like I was insane.
Satan is negative energy expressed through the prism of matter. God is his logical opposite. The church hid a lot of secrets to get money and control so profession to the logical opposite of that makes you all good people. Your motivation is right, in being wrong,.......... even if the whole story would change your world. Events are so close to happening I can smell the noise from here. The "polar-shift" is upon us and the choice has to be made by every one of us in our hearts....do we remain this meat in hell or realise this is heaven if we remove those who keep us in place and re-create Eden. The universe is four energies, not one! Negative, positive,divide and multiply, interacting in four directions plus the absence of an energy we know as the construct of linear Time, which in 4 dimensions operates differently, and the absence of itself, which we name death but which is the energy called life unfettered by matter so going through it's negative state. Death is not real though, as science was spot-on Energy cannot be destroyed, it will transform into another version of itself. We call this Re-incarnation. We are a store of perspectives unbalanced by unwitting ignorance. This was supposed to be balanced but the church killed the son and forced his twin sister and his mother to run.......their middle name was Mary, their first name was Patricia by the way.....the secret in the line of the father/Pater is rhesus negative blood, a feminine trait! Carried through Tuscany, Southern France and Basque Spain by the Gypsies hiding the daughter from the church. The line ends up in Ireland then England where it is now. The male line the line of Kings is carried through Jesus' little bro Joseph who plants his prick in Glastonbury, England not knowing his sis was really nearby. The Templars knew this but were corrupted, killed or escaped.....to Portugal and Scotland. The royal line of Scotland took the Templar naval flag or Saltire as they're own......when the royal line homogenised with that of England the cross was added to wave a secret in plain site. That's how you draw a 6d universal model. The centre state is achieved by reconciliation of all states together without logical opposition in a single place. Including the absence of itself. This is reconciliation and is expressed as an inverted division sign....so two lines one dot not two dots one line. Balance is everything. We were supposed to exist somewhere between the states in order to find the fulcrum which is in the centre of humanity and which understands all perspectives without judgement or negative associations. Do what thou wilt but do not harm another soul should have been the Law. Be positive and we can change the world. There's so much more....everything is everything, which must include nothing......otherwise it's not everything but that must wait. I need a poo. X
This song gives me so much strength. Unholy, free, pure strength.
A wicked statement. The devil is helpless and impotent before God.

@@annisaurusfalse I am the almighty serpent of creation the one who threw all demons out you are victim to my shadows who are not merciful like me
Sooooo, I've been playing bloodborne today, and have been stuck on this one fucking boss, amygdala in the defiled chalice dungeon, and I start singing along to this, and I beat his Arse, didn't get hit once... Thank you Ghost B.C.
That's awesome!
I fucking hate that Amygdala :D.
nice story!
FUCK that boss dude. half health so you get 1 shot no matter what... took me so long... but getting to the queen was worth it
Amygdala in the cursed chalice... For me is in top 3 hardest bosses of all souls games...
I mean...reguardless of your beliefs. This fucking slaps
They are the morning light that rock needed in this day and age.
Yes! I'm 52 years young, and when I heard my 20 something year old sons playing this song, I ran into the room asking them who this was, they said, "Ghost" at first I thought The Moody Blues had come out with something new! Lol! But I am hooked, Ghost is right up there for me with my two other favorite bands, Moody Blues and Rammstein, it's as if those two bands had a baby! ~That baby is ~Ghost 💜
He is....JOHN CENA
I was looking for this!!! Not disappointed :D
John cena, nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater:3 :D❤️
+Maerodir well played
thank you
Maerodir Or Chuck Norris
Imagine getting this played on one of those Christian radio stations- and then halfway through it, they revel in horror at the realization that it's about Satan...
or is it simply that neither of them exist
Ben Saber God is NOT me rest be assured
Most wouldn't realize it.
Technically its about lucifer the "giver of light".
Pupper,. whoever you were replying to has buggered off, and so it looks like you're denying the existence of Ghost songs and Christian radio stations.
translation for latin "Our God and Father; our gracious mother."
He is tho, he set me free from the servitude of christianity, nah jk I was free from birth but he allowed me to form my own beliefs and not follow anyone In my family like a sheep.
@@emilyolsen6777 Islam?
@@emilyolsen6777 is it really freedom if it is given to you by another
@@emilyolsen6777 He's brought me individuation and the courage to truly be what I am.
@@josephang9927 It's definitely not Islam, i think what he means is Luciferaism. Or the worshipping and believing in lucifer. This song is probably meaning Lucifer. I don't know if im right or wrong about this, i don't see Lucifer as god since hes the King of hell, gracious mother probably refers to Lucifers wife, Lillith.
But this definitely has nothing to do with Islam. Lucifer teaches people to seek the truth in everything rather than blindly following things and seeing them as the truth and the only truth.
From an artistic and musical standpoint Tobias is a great vocalist and great with lyrics all of the nameless ghouls past and present are top notch musicians.
Ghostpel!
TISQUESUSA I see what you did there. 😉
Simte Quality pun, right there! ;)
XD I love it. ❤
Ghostspell's Ghostpel
he is ghistpell
if u love me let meee ghooooooooost
I had a shower thought: this song is not about the devil or anyone in particular.
This song is about... the Sun.
We are standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames - abyss is the cosmos and heat and light from the Sun is the flames.
Two star-crossed lovers - the Sun is a star and crosses all lovers ever.
A beast with many names - Sun has more names than we can count, every language ever in existence has at least one.
A shining of the light without whom we can not see - basically the main function of the Sun for us. Even a tiny ray of light from the sun through a crack is enough to let us see in completely pitch black room.
Insurrection, he is spite - no one has any command over the Sun, the Sun does whatever he wants to do. He exists in spite of everything.
He's the force that made me be - sunlight is one of the main factors in the creation of life. Without it we wouldn't be.
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater - lit. translates as "our pushing father, our nourishing mother". The sun drives us into action every day and gives us energy to live.
We're hiding here inside a dream - we sleep at night when the Sun is away.
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void - Sun is the main morning star, the void is again the cosmos.
The disobedience that holds us together - again, the Sun obeys no one and the day is what allows the society to function,
And we are falling over the precipice - the uncontrolled movement of the galaxies, the stars and the worlds through the cosmos can be called "falling".
And there's this part of the video at 3:33. What's that appearing in the background if not the Sun? Not to mention the dark sphere at the beginning of the song with strings emerging from it that look similar to the Sun's coronal loops.
This song praises the Sun. Of course... anyone is free to interpret it in their own way. But I choose the Sun.
Praise the Sun!

\[T]/
You just gave me a way around to listen to this song, hhhhhh you see I lke the song but I ain't on team satan
Laerei oh wow yeah it could be pretty much the sun i like how you saw it in a different pov not necessarily the devil because thats the 1st thing that pops up with ghosts songs with people
Lucifer, the Morning Star, is an archetypal Sun deity.
That was definitely not a "shower thought". Lol
this is better. i would like to believe in something real like this. instead of imaginary beings like god and devil.
❤❤Překrásná písnička ❤potěší u srdíčka ❤❤❤
Nossa que banda sensacional maravilhosa .isso sim que é som, sem palavras
am i the only one who feels peacefull with this song?
me too
I found it very funny since your pseudo (name maybe ?) is jesus (no offense tho)
may Lucifer be with you
me to
Jesus Costilla same bruh
I bought all of their cds. I haven't bought a cd in like 15 years but man, their music is just that good.
Just finished doing the same myself. I went from most recent to the oldest, in that order. Great stuff.
I am a huge fan of Ghost. They've done incredible things...It's amazing...
The most beautiful Ghost song.
Beautiful song. It reminds me of my sister who's locked up right now, who's my heart, my best friend, and the only person who completely understands me. Thank you so much for this piece of beauty in the world.
Nah, if she ever stepped foot into one she'd burst into flames ;)
+Angelia Serbinski Same
Ho-ly shit...I'm going through these random comments, and look who I run into...I'm really sorry about your sister. Just know that there is a complete stranger, probably far away from you, who is thinking about you at this very moment. Hope you are doing super fantastical!
My dad asked me if I was listening to gospel music LOL
+skyhunter wapass i hope you said yes
I would have said of course I'm worshipping our Lord and Savior Satan
+skyhunter wapass mine too^^
"Hell yeah!" is what you should've said.
Hahahahahahaha! It is... For Satan!
I cannot stop listening to this song. I'm obsessed!
To me as a loyal Buddhist in Taiwan 🇹🇼, the HE in this song means the Buddha Shakyamuni. Amen 🙏
This song is so good and it will always have a very special place in my heart, as it is the first song I heared by Ghost. Papa's voice has a devilish feature in it and that's why it's sooo amazing!!!!
I saw them live this past Friday and when they played this song I immediately got chills. They put on such a damn good show. 💙
😊😊😊
+Molly Cristin I saw them at the Rialto in Tucson, such a great live act! I was a fan before, but I hope I get to see them live again before they start selling out arenas lol
This is making me excited for when I see them in two days!
+TheVelevetPrincess you're gonna have so much fun!
+Molly Cristin Thank you! Is there anything I should expect?
I nearly forgot, how great this band is...so happy i found it again after years of not listening:))
With my phone in my pocket,this song played on my RUclips, had it on repeat like 10times, finally decided to check my phone for the title and I saw the lyrics...am a Christian so listening to this without paying attention to the lyrics really hits the spot. Great voices!
Friend: are you listening to satan music?
Me:... but its so pretty
LOL!
LA MEJOR BANDA QUE HE ESCUCHADO EN AÑOS.
A mi casi se me salen as lagrimas de la emoción
@@danielaramirez2555 estamos igual😢
Awesome Song by Ghost . Just Awesome .
I can never tire of this, it's such a beautiful song.
It's funny how one "Satanic" band makes better worship music than every Christian band ever.
+Iron Wasp It´s called mother times, we don´t need the eternal sin and pray for Absolution
Ikr XD
Why is thar funny ? Its like crhistians should make better music by they dont ? I dont get it m8
tr3nta It's funny, because despite their effort, one band blows the whole Christian genre away.
Underoath is a great Christian band and that's coming from a "Neo" "militant" atheist
I had no idea this band existed until I saw Papa Emeritus II (found his name only an hour ago) in a meme. I was really drawn to him for some reason. I looked into it further, found this song and really liked it.
ya'll motherfukers need satan
Mike Metal \m/
Ohai Maul
Nice wreath, Maul. Don't we look good with it? ;)
LMAO why yes we are glorious in our fashionable attires
Some of their music is just down right beautiful.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Simply beautiful and meaningful.
My top 5 songs from ghost:
1: Ritual
2: He is
3: Year zero
4: Monstrance clock
5: Cirice
It's Ghost now, no more BC.
Accursed Entity Shit, auto correct haha
:D
+Dr cabrita Good selection. Best for me is Ritual
+Dr cabrita and ghuleh zombie queen :D
I used this song when I walked down the aisle at my wedding lol I love it so much
Really?????
really really :D I just got married in October
why would you use a satanic song at your wedding?
+Santiago Santana let her do her.
+elias arriaga let her answer for herself. I don't judge anyone, that's Gods' job.
Dieses Lied ist voll schön. ❤️💖
Finally some good church music 🌚🌚🌚
Melhor música do cd.
+JCosta SHAUSHSUAA Alahu HUEKBAR

OLOCO, JCOSTA CÊ ESCUTA GHOST...
concordo, é a melhor música
D4rkDr4gonG4m3r#Contente Escuto sim, tenho duas camisetas deles, e tenho todos os CDs... hail satan \m/
JCosta interessante
I wish there was a 10 minute extended version. That ending guitar could go on forever.
Just found about ghost. I've been missing so much. This band is really good.
if i ever get married, I want this played at my wedding. by far my favorite song off Meliora. he is
Satan and Garfunkel :)
+Freeze Frozen Do you think the similarities between this song and Sound of silence is a coincidence?
well, what do you think ?
+Freeze Frozen I think Ghost borrow heavily from all kind of places. Compare the verse of 'Ritual' with the verse of Mercyful fate's 'A Dangerous meeting', compare the chorus with Mercyful Fates 'Return of the vampire'.
yes thats true, they borrow from every kind of band and musicians. ( Like 99,99% of creative people I think.) Anyway, they borrow from good artists and render it with heart & talent
+Freeze Frozen Finally someone else who recognized the Sound of Silence in the rhythm here. Thank you! (and I like what you did there with the name.) XD
I love how he sneaks in that "the disobedience" to make a point to people fooled by the song
Magnificent melody, love this track.
I love how they combined the epicness and the romance
it feels cosmic
