Square Hammer
Ghost Lyrics
Living in the night
'Neath heavens torn asunder
You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme
As I'm closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me as bells begin to chime
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Hiding from the light
Sacrificing nothing
Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails
Into a sacred coffin
You call on me for powers clandestine
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now

As I drifted off to sleep last night, the usual thoughts of "Conversations of Yore” were happily replaced with an approximately three minute commercial, showcasing how I would see Ghost announce their next album:
Sister Imperator, Papa IV, Mr. Saltarian and Nihil are half-heartedly and mindlessly discussing the weather. Suddenly, a virile young man with an air of arrogance bursts into the room, announcing himself as ‘Newboy’ and claiming boisterously that he is the ONLY illegitimate son of the Holy Papa blood line, and he will fulfill his destiny; to claim the coveted position of front man for the band, and willfully spread “the word” of The Clergy. Cardi C (unimpressed) says, "Ok, that’s great and all, but have you seen how I have made us popular? They love my music, and they love me!" With gritted teeth, a fist fight ensues, and after some struggling, Newboy unsheathes a hidden blade and quickly thrusts it through Copia's gut, violently sealing his fate.
A very quick scene of only a few seconds depicts the funeral of Papa the Forth.
Fade in to panning over the crowd of a late-night talk show, with a message on the screen, “Three days later…”.
A famous talk show host introduces "…the new and improved, Ghost!". Pan to the stage where Newboy is now fronting the group, wearing poorly applied skull-like makeup, and an uneven costume, clearly not to size. His visage is somehow slightly amateur, as if rushed, compared to the tight, professional look of the rest of the band.
Newboy’s eyes are unabashedly thrilled with the applause and the spotlight. He places a water bottle down on a nearby stool and then, ignoring the band, gleefully steps up to the mic stand in front of him. "Thank you so much for that warm introduction and thank you all for being here tonight! This is truly a..."
Meanwhile, in a nearby dark corridor, you hear Newboy’s amplified words echoing vaguely down the hall behind the sound-stage, as the camera is looking through the mud-crusted eyes of a dark figure, shuffling slowly towards the noise, and giving off involuntary tired, raspy moans.
Back on the brightly lit stage, Newboy utters endlessly with an impatient, and visibly unimpressed band behind him; "... why I’m just thrilled to be here, I can't even begin to tell you! This has been MY dream, for years, to get to this..."
Suddenly in a blur, microphone feedback prematurely cuts him off as the dark figure bursts through the back curtains. He quickly grabs Newboy by the collar with an ungodly strength. Effortlessly, Newboy is lifted and then forcibly dropped behind the side curtains of the stage. You can only see his wildly flopping legs, the wet noises of his attack almost being drowned out by the shock and panic of the crowd.
The Ghouls only now react as the leg movements go dead; silently taking an involuntary step back from their instruments, and the gruesome scene in front of them. The crowd is fearfully hushed, while the dark figure slowly steps out to stand with his back to the audience. With a calm stillness, the man takes a moment to look over the various Ghouls silently. The people (now huddled together near the closed studio doors in the back of the studio) all suddenly gasp as the dark figure quickly turns around to stare them down. They can now clearly see a dirty, rough looking Cardinal Copia, blood dripping from his chin. He is wearing a mud soaked burial robe that has been recently ripped in a few places, his hands dark with dirt. Taking a single quick step forward, he forces another fearful gasp from the crowd, and then slowly extends his tattered arm towards the microphone.
Pulling it close, they hear in an amplified raspy voice, "Iiiiiiii"… He stops; a slight ring of feedback fades off to silence as he swallows painfully. A tension hangs in the air, everyone fixated on him with bated breath. Copia suddenly turns his attention to Newboy's water, still resting on the stool beside the mic stand. He grabs it forcefully, popping the cap off by squeezing the bottle tightly, then chaotically pours it up over his dirty face, drinking some of it like a wild animal as it falls. Emptying the bottle, he carelessly throws it away, then slowly turns back to the mic to speak again, clearer this time, in a tired but determined expression;
"I. Wasn't. Done. Making…<he breathes in painfully>…Music. For you."
Seconds pass in silence, as recognition washes over the room. Slowly, everyone understands what this means (He’s back!!) and with relief they crescendo into adrenaline fueled applause, cheering and shouting their enthusiastic approval of his return. The camera pans out from the stage as everyone hesitantly moves to approach him, while slowly, words form on the bottom of the screen:
" A new beginning, a new album. Arriving 202x".

Ghost songs scratch a certain itch in my brain that music hasn't been able to do for me in a long time. Unabashed glee is an intoxicating feeling, seriously can't get enough of these guys
Patricia Lehrke
Glee is an underused word.
Kelsey Jackson
Thank you for putting into words exactly how I feel

Y pensar que Ghost era una de las bandas que me recomendó YouTube siempre pero no solía escucharlos porque creí que se trataba de bandas que hacían puros gritos, sus canciones y la voz de este artista son un cariño al alma! Los quiero. Saludos desde Argentina 👍
Björn Arnold
All I can say is: I love it! I love Ghost! ❤
Jonathan Joestar
Imagine this band if they were around in the 80s. They would be so fucking popular
Edit: popular in the 80s, I'm aware they are popular now lol
Russell Payne
It sounds like 80s music
Curtis Yue
The controversy theyd have generated... christ.
Norman Negro
I mean, maybe 2 of their songs are, but at least in my country they're not
A Thief In The Night
lol the fact you had to edit it despite them having 80+ million views. xd
