Lucifer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To bring him back to me
He was my religion
Oh lord, won’t you cut me a deal
It’s a fearful matter
To love what death can touch
So long since I’ve seen his eyes
Oh lord, It hurts so much
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest
How long before you’re rising
From the dead
Hollow loom these empty halls
I’m haunted by your ghost
A cruel game to talk to the dead
But what hurts me the most
It’s been so long
He never came back
He took my heart to his early grave
How long before he’s rising
From the dead
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest
How long before you come back
How long?
Don’t leave me, no!
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest
How long before you’re rising
From the dead
I need absolution, a divine solution
The lyrics of Lucifer's song "Ghosts" speaks about the pain and the fear of losing someone you love to death. The singer of the song is calling upon the heavens to bring her lover back to her. She considers him her religion, and she is pleading with God to bring him back. The fear of losing someone to death is expressed in the song when she says "To love what death can touch." The singer is haunted by the memories of her lover, and she is in pain because she hasn't seen his eyes for so long. She is asking God to make a deal and bring him back to her again.
The chorus of the song repeats the question "How long before you come back?" The singer is begging for her lover to come back and relieve her of her pain. She is haunted by her lover's ghost, and it is a cruel game to talk to the dead, but what hurts her the most is that he never came back. The singer talks about the pain of losing her heart to his early grave. Finally, she asks for absolution and a divine solution to ease her pain.

[Verse 1]
I called upon the heavens
To bring him back to me
He was my religion
Oh Lord, won't you cut me a deal?
It's a fearful matter
To love what death can touch
So long since I've seen his eyes
Oh Lord, it hurts so much
[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?
[Verse 2]
Hollow loom these empty halls
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's a cruel game to talk to the dead
But what hurts me the most
It's been so long, he never came back
He took my heart to his grave
How long
Before he's rising from the dead?
[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long before you come back?
How long?
[Bridge]
Don't leave me, no
[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?
Before you're rising from the dead?

I loved the first two Lucifer albums and am looking forward to III. Great singing and these guys know how to write a guitar riff.
Count William Jannusch
Absolutely awesome..Lucifer rules..There is so much emotion in this song. Totally bewitching and killer..The vocals are hauntingly beautiful and the musicianship is stunningly wicked. I am bewitched and spellbound..I love it. I am a huge fan of every Lucifer song and each of the albums so far, but this is one of my favorite songs yet.
Daniel Pinheiro
Find it to be more Rock n' Roll oriented. Not that it is bad, but really love that more Occult Doomish SIDE of them.
Been following her since The Oath. Love her love. Will love this album prolly ihihih
