Ghost - Deus In Absentia Lyrics






In this your time of need
You're turning to the light
You had just begun to explore the dark
In the urban night

The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore

You're so God damn frail
Failing for a change
You just had to know all about the world
But you will never know
'Cause no one ever told you how

The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever

The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore

All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face
All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face

Oh, you are looking good
Bareback in disgrace
And you are doing fine worshipping your lord
Standing in his grace
'Cause no one ever told you how

The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever

The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore

  1. R.... H....

    Just woke up from a dream. I have a church behind the woods in my backyard and I remember looking out the back window of my house in the stormy night and seeing steel gates twice as high as the church spanning the woodlands with words on top of them written in the same Gothic/noir steel. The words may have contained "Catholic" "Church" "Deus" "Absentia" and the chorus to this song was playing. Very, very cool image; underrated song.

  2. K.... O....

    He ghost you know what I hate your songs all of them my mom and dad like them but I don't sorry😈😈😈😈😈😈😎lol

  3. A.... W....

    This metropolis fritz lang atmosphere fits perfectly to a genious song!!!!

    I'd love Walt Disney's weird drawings BUT he was a racist Hitler loving creep, so, yeah, he was a bad guy, BUT, I LOVE Ghost and they used Walt's stuff in the best way.

  11. J.... G....

    I've seen the images of the cartoon skeleton's in a video about Walt Disney 's early drawings and work. SO yes, Walt Disney was a creepy guy that had drawn many weird things.

  12. L.... ....

    This song makes me think about global warming

  13. J.... D....

    Wonderful video and magical song 💀

  14. S.... T....

    ZA WARUDO is on fire

  15. J.... C....

    Not a new fan, but did just find this song.

    To find this actually has a video...... wow
    Edit: credit to fan. Excellent.

  16. E.... R....

    Awesome ❤️❤️❤️

  17. J.... G....

    EVEN Infestissism or whatever it is called has so many great songs on it, I've already heard so many of them, Ghost seems to be a no bad songs band, I should just buy all of their cd's and get it over with.

  18. J.... G....

    So, this is an original Ghost video? I LOVE this music and I HAVE to purchase the CD for "Meloria" . I have "prequel" already, BUT, I have put off buying the other ones by Ghost. I can see now that Meloria is just like Prequel, it is FULL of songs I already KNOW are great, there is NO risk of buying a CD that has bad songs on it.

  19. C.... D....

    This video is brilliant! Thanks for posting :)

  20. L.... C....

    “The world is on fire”

    Ever notice how Christian music talks about a world that doesn’t exist but Metal always gets it right?

    Beautiful Ghost Ambient

  31. T.... ....

    Just need him in there with an "Fruit Cocktail", He does the best he can.... Lord have Mercy, Jesus Christ.

    3:26
    All life bears death

    from birth.

    Life fears death,

    but lives only to die.

    It starts with anxiety.

    Anxiety becomes fear.

    Fear leads to anger...

    anger leads to hate...

    hate leads to suffering...

    The only cure fore this fear

    is total destruction.

  33. N.... S....

  54. J.... I....

    I love how GHOST makes you think and question whats crammed down your throat!!! The reality is Mankind, will destroy it's self and not because some book says so.....it's simple when mankind, is so busy developing new technology to kill or replace us, instead of better our health, and well being, then there is our destruction. We are already being dehumanized by smart phones and internet, next robots to replace us in the workforce and bedroom. Thank you GHOST for trying to wake the dormant minds littering the human race!!!

  55. D.... ....

    Sweet fan video....I love all the old movie footage.

  56. j.... S....

    Ghost ao som de Tango, extremamente maravilhoso, admirável a inteligencia musical harmônica deles

  57. A.... H....

    Ain't this your time of need?
    You're turning to the light
    You have just begun to explore the dark
    In the urban night
    The world is on fire
    And you are here to stay and burn with me
    A funeral pyre
    And we are here to revel forevermore
    You're so goddamn frail
    Failing for a change
    You just had to know all about the world
    But you will never know
    'Cause no one ever told you how
    The world is on fire
    And you are here to stay and burn with me
    A funeral pyre
    And we are here to revel forever
    The world is on fire
    And we are tied as one eternally
    A funeral pyre
    And we are here to revel forevermore
    All of your imaginations
    Are now running down your face
    All of your imaginations
    Are now running down your face
    Oh you are looking good
    Payback in disgrace
    And you're doing fine worshipping your lord
    Standing in his grave
    'Cause no one ever told you how
    The world is on fire
    And you are here to stay and burn with me
    A funeral pyre
    And we are here to revel forever
    The world is on fire
    And we are tied as one eternally
    A funeral pyre
    And we are here to revel forevermore

  65. E.... A....

    Why do I find that blonde anime character so sexy toward the end of the video??? I'd go with him!!!! Lolol.

  66. R.... A....

    You are an editing prodigy.

  67. J.... ....

    0:33 Hogwarts burning :v

  68. C.... D....

    Superb!

  69. d.... ....

    What a hot nun...

  70. 6.... ....

    The best fan video I have ever seen. Loved that you included Eyes Wide Shut and Sephiroth!

  71. T.... F....

    I'm a hardcore rock/metal fanatic. From Elvis to Megadeth, from Beatles to Van Halen... I've heard so many artists, I've listened to a LOT of albums... Dark Side of the Moon, Yellow Brick Road, Lateralus, Vitalogy, etc... I honestly thought real rock was dead. They even came up with a genre called post rock which seemed to be the final nail in the coffin. Then I discovered this band... Its influences reach in so many directions, it's insane. Never heard anything like it. You could hear vibes of old school classic rock like Boston or Styx and then it switches to hard rock/metal like Megadeth or Alice in Chains and YET they have found a way to make their own sound... When you hear a Ghost song you know it's Ghost. They fucking nailed it!!! If this is the last real rock band we'll know, then rock will die honorably... Not with a fist in the air but with a devil sign pointing upwards.

  72. S.... D....

    Siema ja fan

  73. M.... ....

    Loved it Luna ! ....and you are here to stay...

  74. E.... S....

    Luna. I have been sending you PMS on FB. I have a new page. I made a vid 2 yrs ago for you. Here in WA state. Remember.......??!!
    E. SavageJr

  75. a.... r....

    honestly speaking the music material is just freedom of religion and the video a very good mash up that reflects the song material. very good job on the video and very good song

  76. L.... G....

    For a lot of their songs i feel like on the outside it's the satanic theme, and when you listen to it again, it gets a second meaning. Like consider this as a song that says: "Despite the imagination of a supernatural devilish apocalypse, the world is on fire just now. Humans are constantly setting it on fire and do not even notice. There is no need for any supernatural powers to do so."

  77. j.... m....

    Such a great song.

  78. J.... A....

    Smurfs?

  79. T.... L....

    I love Ghost because they have been around not all that long but they play a lot of their songs like the '80s

  80. R.... L....

    OMG, THIS VIDEO IS SO ICONIC

  81. C.... S....

    This is a amazing edited video accompany, breathtaking and incredible. I think the band would 100 perecent approve

  82. C.... S....

    Great fan video. What a amazing song

  83. N.... S....

    Take away the gimmicky imagery, the makeup and outfits, the band members' nicknames, all that's left is a really bad metal band making horrible music.

  84. A.... M....

    What the HELL did i just watched

  85. L.... C....

    ¿everything is a product of the human imagination?'''''

  86. J.... ....

    I'm completely fine with the world burning, as long as this song plays during the process.

  87. E.... A....

    I wanna karaoke the SHIT out of this song.

  88. B.... W....

    This is my go to video for this song...the visuals are fun

  89. J.... T....

    Great job love ghost

  90. S.... C....

    1:54 is amazing

  91. p.... B....

    3:39 😍

  92. F.... S....

    My favorite song by them.

  93. K.... B....

    Love this song, but the music actually reminds me of late ABBA songs. You know, when they got more serious and melancholy.

  94. S.... D....

    Are all of anyone else's imaginations running down their face during that verse? Because mine definitely are. 😭 Such a masterpiece.

  95. K.... O....

    Whoever made this video deserves some kind of Nobel prize because it’s the best fan made video I’ve ever seen. It rivals any official video ever. Props...Fits the song perfectly. Tobias would approve

    K.... O....

    Kenneth Ostrer thank you!

  96. M.... ....

    3:56 Such a beautiful part

  97. D.... M....

    so beautiful!!! ghost is just the only group without a bad song!!!!!!

    D.... M....

    Dance Macabre is kinda silly, but even that one is not that bad! XD

  98. K.... O....

    Whoever made this: mad fucking props. All monsters are human indeed
