Majesty
Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From seraph skies and now to chaos bound
He is sitting sacred and profound
In midst of sinners licking up to kiss his crown
Pathetic humans in despair
Defaced, deflowered, now to death devout
A fallen angel in his glare
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within you
This oasis is a poisoned well
Of rotting carcasses that clog the deep
A prince in exile here in Hell
In midst of sinners flocking up like soulless sheep
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within you
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within you
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within you
Your infernal Majesty
In the lyrics of Ghost (2)'s song “Majesty”, the singer addresses a higher power that resides underground. This powerful being was once found in the seraph skies but has now descended to reign in the midst of sinners who worship and adore him. The singer describes the followers of this power as “pathetic humans in despair” who have been defaced and deflowered, and now are devoutly devoted to death. This powerful being is described as a fallen angel who has an intense glare that has the ability to incite sinners to kneel down and adore him.
The lyrics illustrate the worship and devotion that followers give to this fallen angel. Despite the toxic and dark aura of the environment, the followers are depicted as being akin to soulless sheep who flock together within the poisoned well of their surroundings. In the chorus, the singer reaffirms the power and beauty of this being, stating that “All beauty lies within you”. The repetition of the line “Old One, Master” emphasizes the power and control that this being has over his followers. The lyrics suggest that despite the love and adoration given to this being, he is still portrayed as an infernal majesty, residing in the depths of Hell.

+WebbyWebs how did slayer do in the 80's
@WebbyWebs
+Alex Sitaras Good point. but they didnt really gain a lot of momentum until like 88 or 89 no? I dont think the 70s or early-mid 80s were ready for a band like Ghost. Btw, seeing Ghost next month with the VIP package. Cant fucking WAIT!
