GHOST SHIP
(Music and Lyrics: Matt Smith)
Messenger of ages
Carried on the wings of second birth
Unto the silent secrets of the earth
Justice generation
Anthem for the sense of purpose we lost
We rise above and count the cost
We are the ones the others left behind
Breath of life from the four winds
Watch these bones of death now march again
Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world
Let’s go!
Cast off for the journey
Join us as we sail the open seas
Unto the great adventure-follow Me
All the world’s unwanted
Come aboard and leave your darkness behind
Desperate to count, redeem the time
We are the ghosts awakened to the light
Forged and branded in His name
Ancient workmanship before ordained
Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There’s revolution in the air)
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world
Solo: Val
Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There’s revolution in the air)
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world
Let’s go!

Theocracy is the best expression to be a metalhead that likes a nice band and still believes in God.
Not that I give a shit about religion, but if you want to listen to a good Christian band that plays metal, you might wanna check out a band called Sinbreed.
Nice, I heard ya, Is a little bizzarre but I like it, I though for a moment that was a extreme metal genre.
I like Theocracy (the band) but believe in god? REALLY? After everthing we have seen, after everything we have achieved, especially in universe in last 10 years or so? But the main question is, would you really like to live in universe with the god like the one we created? The one who couldnt care less for all his "sheep"? The god "ALMIGHTY" but couldnt have stopped the evil at the start, the one who cant appear to all of us to see, "always" only to in somebodys head... if I tell somebody I can see an ALIEN, right now. I will be crazy, but if somebody will say he saw god... its revelation! God was a story made only because we have feared the death, and later used to control the weak... and without MAN telling his children, noone would ever hear about him
nessundorma666 He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords and ALL men will kneel before Him on that great and glorious day coming soon.
Are ya talking about a concert I supousse.
I finally found some good Christian metal! I'm so happy!
LivingLifeAsLayla not just a good band. One of the best! (my personal favorite:d)
+Marcelino1098 yeah I definitely need to check out more of their stuff! what else do you recommend?
***** Within Silence, Diviner are pretty good aswell, and if you like the rougher stuff(metalcore) i'd say War of Ages( christian metalcore, awesome guitar parts aswell). But yeah you gotta be into it to like that stuff. Theocracy is by my favorite by far^^ Can't wait to see them on tour in Holland
Here are some of my favourites: I am, Hide in the Fairytale, Absolution day, Bethlehem.
***** Oh i was missreading haha. Thought you meant other bands^^. If songs of Theocracy i'd say : As The World Bleeds,Mirror of Souls, Laying The Demon To Rest, I am, On eagle's Wings. I just love it all haha
I am so in love with this song it's ridiculous. His voice is like crystal in a genre of metal, the chorus keeps you tumbling forward with so much passion, and the overarching metaphor of the song is so perfect.
🔥🔥Theocracy is the most underrated Christian Metal band according to many of us fans . They deserve a lot more and big .. Talent and elements in their songs are immense.. the mainline bands dont even come close 🔥
AWESOME. There are many Christian hard rock/heavy metal bands who I enjoy listening to, but the ones who I feel I can worship along with, who literally bless me SPIRITUALLY, is a very short list indeed. For me, that list is Disciple, Grave Declaration and Theocracy. Their music is bathed in prayer; you can feel it. May God continue to bless their ministry and music, and may the Holy Spirit touch millions of hurting souls.
Rob Weddle I’d add For Today to that list if I were you. :)
I was just about to ask in the comments for some recommendations :) Thanks sir!
@@phoenixfyre3406 than you too
Amen brother! Absolutely agree! I love Theocracy! Disciple, Saviour ?Machine, Etc. Got to find out more about Grave Declaration, actually. Thanks
R Lynd Yes. Nice band ! From Sweden! !♡♥
Hands down, my favorite Christian metal/rock band of the 21st century. Have a blessed day all🙏🙏

Underrated? Maybe in certain circles. I think that they just haven't gotten enough exposure yet.
Some time this last summer I found theocracy. I immediately bought all of their albums. At the time, it cost me 10% of my bank account (10% is what we are called to tithe to God, yes?) Yes. I have yet to regret the decision. I've listened to them almost every day since, and I praise God for being allowed to find them. God bless this amazing band with amazing lyrics that glorify our Lord!
Bendito seas tú y Dios
or get them all free on youtube
No earthly human could have wrote the lyrics to the song " I am" . he was Gifted from the Ghost ship.
Agreed. Matt is truly a gifted writer as well as vocalist.
He simply let himself be used by God! Great guy!
@@user-fb1iy2fo2q Amen. We are called to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice unto God, with whatever gifts He has given us.
Love the theme of the "Capitan" inviting his misfits to a life of adventure on the open seas! To shake the world!As usual the music is top notch.Thank God we have Theocracy! As a Christ follower, I don't have to compromise my love of Metal and Christ illuminating lyrics!
LETS GO!
Why do you believe in fictional characters?
I recently discovered Theocracy. I'd been missing some great melodic power metal since switching over to only listening to Christian music. So glad to have found them through Matt's interview on The Dice Steeple podcast. They have been such an encouragement through some recent tough times.
You're missing out by narrowing yourself
One of my favorite Christian metal bands. His voice!!!
Amazing. Really nice clarity and voice control from mid-tenor to alto.
This band is gonna get big. Just found them. They are amazing. Especially the vocalist.
they have been around since 2002, fyi.
Really? maybe they needed some time to polish their sound? i mean since i havent heard of them and im pretty deep into metal
Lynch Smith nah, they have always had a good mix in their albums, check out as the world bleeds, Theocracy and Mirror Of Souls, those are their best.
coo. thx.
U know the vocalist also writes and mixes all of their music.
Is it weird that I feel really proud of them? I've listened to all their full albums, and they were great back then! But to see how far they've come... dang. Slay.
Myth Plays I agree. I am not religious one bit. But I love their music!! They are awesome!
Yeah its really strange, because you are not a member of the band and had no part in any success they had.
@@Malusdarkblade wtf? There's nothing wrong with being proud of someone you adore?!
I found this song through an ad. Boy am I grateful.
Check out the album... Its incredible and by far their best (in their awesome catalogue). All 4 of their albums are masterpieces!
Jake Carrasquillo Ikr I have never been more grateful for a RUclips ad
same, i expected it to be heavier when i heard the begining though
me too
Theocracy can't do wrong, what a chorus and the atmosphere during the solo section, I dig that!
God reserves the best stuff for Himself... Love it!
I never thought I would actually say this... but THANK YOU RUclips ads... I played another music video and this came out as an ad but because how badass it starts I didn't skip it and let the whole thing play... now I have a new band to listen to \m/ xD
Hylian Warrior i found it through Kyle Scott. He does covers of there songs along with Skillet
Same hear and a Christian band just as great as non-Christian bands
Adds Sponsored by Jesus
SeekTruthForever This
Praise the Lord 😍😍
Anyone else gonna be on the HOLY Ghost Ship?!
For sure 💪🏻💯
I really think that Theocracy is one of the best metal bands in the world. They don't have one single bad song!
Agree 100%. I have not heard one bad song from Theocracy.
I really couldn't remember other best than this
OH MY!!! Theocracy is sooooo awesome!! What a song, man!! Can't stop to listen it!! Delicious music for my ears!! God bless y'all!
Same here I can't stop to listen
This band is awesome
Riffs,solos,breakdowns,vocals..everything
God continue to bless you and come to Brazil
I don't think there will ever come a day where Theocracy's "As the World Bleeds" and "Ghost Ship" albums don't impress me. Both albums are beyond fantastic! Please come to Denver! I NEED to see you guys live!
I love the imagery of the flood story, and the Ark of Salvation in Christ.
It's not a new metaphor. The Catholic Church has been referred to as the "barque of Saint Peter" and metaphorically referred to as a ship since 140AD and probably before that.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barque_of_St._Peter
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navicella_(mosaic)
There are tons of icons depicting the Church as a ship/boat.
Theocracy is an Awesome Band..All their Albums Kick Butt. !!
Finally saw an ad that actually showed me something I LIKE! Never thought I'd like a christian metal band \m/
You too? I never watched an ad you can skip to it's end before...
STYPER, BRIDE, IDLE CURE, PETRA, BARRON CROSS, DELIVERANCE, MILLENNIAL REIGN, DAYS OF FIRE, ROB ROCK! THESE ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF CHRISTIAN BANDS OUT THEIR!
The letter black
Diviner and Innerwish are well worth a listen if you like christian metal
The best Christian band is disciple
This song. This video. This message. Fills my heart! I'm a misfit and Jesus rescued me.
Glory Jesus Christ.
The best metal band in America, period!
lol
dont get crazy
Need you add America to that comment?
No
Need you add metal to that comment?
This album is gonna kick some serious ass!
My ass is already kicked by this song
Amen to that!
I just found those guys and I am already addicted. He Sounds like the Singers from dragonforce btw
Christians need to cuss less, jesus didn't cuss , need to follow his footsteps
j lll Jesus also didn't have the ability to sin. If the bible says we're all sinners and all sins are equal, than maybe he/she was picking which sin they would stay in line of. Because Adam & Eve made it so we all have to be sinners. Also, it's possible that that person just isn't a Christian...
This album is extremely high quality, no filler songs, NONE! So, so melodic that even my 3 year old can't stop singing the Call to Arms chorus throughout the day, lol.
I'm sold, lol. Gonna check it out!
Thanks for this fantastic birthday gift Theocracy
the whole Ghost Ship album came out on my birthday too =D
this right here is what the world had been waiting for! love from Bangalore, India!
Indian here.. Theocracy fan since 2009
indian Christian metal head here..Glory to JEsus Christ
Holy shit a RUclips ad I actually enjoyed and did not skip. You guys fucking rock
My favorite gospel metal band ever.
Mais algum brasileiro como eu apaixonado por esta banda?! Curte aí...
Tmj!!!
show demais
o/ Aquela velha, como não descobri antes? tsc. A tempo para tudo. xD
Descobri ela a poucos dias e estou amandoooooo
Eu, tamo junto.
About a month ago I joined the Christian Metal group on Facebook and asked for recommendations of bands, as I didnt really know any besides Stryper. Theocracy was one of the recommendations. I just bought their discography and a shirt tonight from Ulterium! What a killer band! Theocracy is the Christian metal band I have been looking for. May God bless this band for many years to come to continue producing music like this!
There is no god
@@novustalks7525 that's YOUR belief ☺️ and if you wanna believe there's nothing after death then you're entitled to that. But don't tell us that God doesn't exist. Because he sure does.
@@blechstettenellx_ it's reality. Fictional characters do not exist. You need to learn common sense
@@novustalks7525 except God isn't fiction 😂 I have more common sense than you.
@@blechstettenellx_ clearly not since you just said something so stupid 🤣
So much awesome converging at one place and time, Theocracy must be an act of God.

thanks for the info........knew they were popular with the PPUSA crowd, but knew nothing else about them.
Most underrated band ever!!! They should be more well known! ❤❤❤
I can’t wait for COVID to be over and hopefully see them again
This made me tear up... beautiful, just beautiful.
his voice😍😍
I did not expect that voice. 1:30 in and I already love this band
idk what i like more...the song or tthe singers pants
@lance copus The singer's pants
Have to be honest though the longer you listen to the song the singer's voice grows on you.
What are thooooose
I'm having those exact pants made for me lol
I was thinking something similar to that myself, lol. Like Hot Topic but cool.
This video came up as an ad when I was watching other metal band videos, good music
I love teocracy
One of the very, very, very few Christian bands to earn a spot on my playlists. These guys understand music. I may not be a member of the Church anymore but it absolutely fills me with joy to find a band like this, as so very few Gospel bands write actually good music (a majority sound like lovesong mush to me). I need something I can jam out to.
First heard this song as a commercial right before a Kamelot song, and could not get enough of it. Absolutely loved it. I will definitely be listening to more of these guys, new and old.
I just went to that video to try it out, and yeah the same thing happened. Ghost Opera and Ghost Ship, cool
Same here.
Great they are finally getting some recognition. Had a chance to meet the guys after their concert and they are really humble and friendly. Good time for Christian metal. Tourniquet (one of most underrated band with Theocracy) is back, Narnia is back, Styper goes on, Impelliteri still rocks. Anyway it´s not only about the message, but the music has to be good and this one really is and Christian band are not the only ones on my setlist even though they have the most space.
Can't stop listening to this. Great song.
Got this as an advert before kamelot, I am not disappointed. You've got a new fan.
I wish all youtube ads were full-length music videos. Came here from a Dragonforce video. I definitely gotta check more of these guys' songs
I remember hearing them play this at the gig they did in Marietta a couple summers back and becoming instantly hyped, but over time I totally forgot this was still happening and now I'm hyped all over again.
I'm listening to this on an ad on a Sonata Arctica video and damn I'm going to have to check these guys out they kick ass
Thank you Jesus!! I lived to see new Theocrasy video. Keep me here long enough to buy and enjoy new CD. That is all I ask
I have to warn you, from their last CD; the CD does great damage. Once you get it on your car stereo, you CAN'T get it off!! And the volume has a mind all it's own! Every time I go to press "stop", I always end up pressing "play". It's a sickness.
my steering wheel keeps on pummeled in exact rhythm to the double bass!
I was stuck in traffic, and the poor guy in front of me had the full entire song "A Call to Arm" Lip synced to him through his rear view mirror. :-/
apemanblunder 😲 lol
I say unironically, the most talented Christian band.
I'm not usually into this type of vocalist...but I've been won over! Musicality is off the charts!
John East glad to hear that
This is just the best Metal band, and the best Christian Metal band... all glory be to God.
Oh friend, there are so many good bands in Christian Metal scene, I could write this comment all day...
+Faramir Impending Doom. Nuff said.
Silent Planet....nuff nuff said.
@Brittania's Pride Extol is great. They play a variety of heavy metal from death metal to thrash metal. They also have a rock album which was nominated for a Spellemannprisen which is apparently like a Norwegian Grammy.
"pure brilliance "
Val slaying it as usual too
perfect voice in a perfect band. come to brazil.
Love this band, best metal/christian metal I've heard PERIOD!
Val is looking exceptionally METAL ^^
great song.
Not a fan of "power metal" but these dudes may be the best at it that I've ever heard!
have you listened to Sabaton or Powerwolf?
@@adriansalazar1497 i guess these 2 bands ARE the reason why he isn't a fan of power metal. imho, Powerwolf simply copies their music with some changes in melodies, leaving creativity in the background. This makes their music boring (for me). Concerning Sabaton the situation is almost the same. therefore some bands like Sonata Arctica with their legendary album "Ecliptica" or Powersquad with "Mysterizer" would be a more precise advice to change his mind about this genre
Try the classics like mirror mirror from Blind Guardian or Emerald Sword from Rhapsody of Fire.
Even Christopher Lee became a metal head at 80+ years old after listening to Rhapsody.
Matt Smith,skvělý zpěvák-účastník projektu Soulspeel metal opera.Doporučuji najít a poslechnout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was in a battle mood, needed this. Praise the Lord.
beautiful singing mate, the melodies, the tone, perfect
Amen!
Woah this whole music video just came up as an ad. Awesome
Yo im about to cry! I cant believe ive finally found great Christian metal!! ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!
there are so many great Christian metal bands out there. but these guys are definitely good
I heard this song from a RUclips ad... and I am not regretting letting the ad run... I absolutely love it :)

They go down toward the ground, because Lucifer is a pathetic fool.
Karolzinha,minha flor,vc aqui heauehuhe
I was trying to watch an Avantasia video when this popped up as an ad. Glad it happened
I cannot stop listening to this that chorus is a glorious glimpse
The song makes me wanna back to my Lord. Decide to listen to this every morning!
i found out about these guys by an add on a Sonata Arctica video. thanks SA!
I found Sonata Arctica through Theocracy. Both great bands!
I saw this ad on a the GazettE video... I never watched an ad to it's end before.
Akamaholic Life right ? 🤣
FINALLY 1 million views congratulations theocracy you deserve it😁
awesome ! raise the anchors!
I can't stop listening to this song
Me too
awesome work matt..... goosebumps all over my body.... the vocal...the riff...the beat.. everything is just fantastic
I found this band and War of Ages because of an Ad, most of the times I can't stand RUclips Ads, but these great Christian bands give me an appreciation for some Ads.
The best christian metal I have ever heard - and I'm no christian, but I did play keyboards for one, some of the music is awesome. 'That's the power of the Holy Spirit' I was told. Well he taught me well. Love these and woul never have heard of them except through the advert (that fails to credit them??)
O. M. G.
All the world's unwanted.. words to make one weep... those of us who are the halt and the lame... the Lord is preparing US to seek those on the highways and byways... we know we aren't out of here until we help bring in the sheaves of this lost generation others look down the nose at and leave behind... they left us behind too... but we know those out there who were a generation growing up outside the churches that abandoned us and them --- Jesus will use us. We love your souls.
Eeeer...what?
Got this video as an ad, first time I did not skip the video :)
Same
Well. I follow these guys... but I think if I'd have got this as an ad...surely I'd have followed them after XD
First time an ad as worked this well on me x)
STUNNING!
lindo!!!! simplesmente, divino! !! a espera de uma turnê pelo Brasil!!!! vocês impactam e mostram Cristo da maneira mais singela e maravilhosa. Que o Sol da Justiça resplandeca ainda mais na vida de vocês! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Not bad !
did jesus tell you that he was proud?
@@therealshimo yes He did
Awesome band that delivers THE Message!
Everyone has their way of praising God I love praising God through Metal let’s join together and sharpen one another..
I love the chorus :D thx to the drums you can dance to it xD

This is some of the popiest metal on the planet
Amazing!!

Prophetic lyrics awesome symbolism in the video - very blessed!
All I can is this totally kicks booty great job guys!! God bless y'all
I heard about this band because the music video was an advertisement to another band's video. First time I willing sat through an advertisement.
This song deserves million views and million likes \m/
