Ghost - Zenith Lyrics






We conquered a magic
We counted the stars
Deciphered the clockwork
Enacted this farce

Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night

Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your zenith fades into eternity

Time will soon be gone
Right will turn to wrong
Winds come on strong
So help you God
Come unleashed
You’re set free

A genesis captured
Ignited by truth
A martyrdous rapture
A vision to see

Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night

Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your zenith fades into eternity

Time will soon be gone
Right will turn to wrong
Winds come on strong
So help you God
Come unleashed
You’re set free

Saecula Saeculorum

Time will soon be gone
Right will turn to wrong
Winds come on strong
So help you God
Come unleashed
You’re set free

Ghost Zenith Comments
  1. U.... B....

    Sounds like Magna carta heavily. I've seen people say that he doesn't sing for magna carta but he 100% did

  2. W.... L....

    "Time will soon be gone"

  3. S.... D....

    This song gives me chills... and I absolutely love it.

  4. p.... ....

    3:43 gets me every time

  5. D.... B....

    I play ghost when people are around.if they like it"cool". If they don't like it,go away so I can listen to my favorite band.

  6. M.... A....

    I honestly think Ghost is one of the best bands ever created. The diversity in the songs they write combined with hook, beautiful melodies and harmony, grace and power all combined to create the greatness that is Ghost. I have enjoyed so much learning almost all their songs on guitar but I get sick of the haters I known who are metalheads and other musicians, busting My balls about being a huge Ghost fan. I say to them and anyone who talks bad about this band. First off it's pretty lame to dog ANYONE'S music that might not be your forte' especially amongst musicians who play instruments or sing. If you can appreciate the greatness in Tobias and crew, congrats, you've matured in your music appreciation. Secondly to my metalhead brothers. I might listen to and play anything from Lamb of God to the most brutal hardcore shit like Aborted or Dissection but I can still appreciate everything Ghost has worked years writing and composing. And I dig the hell out of this great band. This song is amazing. Definitely one of my top favorites by Ghost. They created their own genre. They didn't need a label. They created one. 🤘

  7. t.... c....

    They remind me of blue oyster cult

  8. S.... S....

    Tobias = Wordmaster & Riff master. Musical Genius!!!!

  9. R.... D....

    This and Deus are the best tracks off of the album, with Majesty and Mummy Dust coming close behind. I actually think Cirice is the Enter Sandman of Ghost, everybody knows it, everybody likes it, but would listen to a different track if they could. Not to say that it's bad though.

  10. M.... ....

    99% of bands can use this song for their eternal hit with fans. Ghost , no thank you , this is a throw away song place on a vinyl that most people doesn't know about .

  11. i.... ....

    My theory as to why this wasn’t on the album: Ghost knew it was one of their better songs and wanted to reward their biggest and most supportive section of the fan base. That’s the only thing that makes sense lol

    Best ghost song ever.

  12. N.... G....

    Their most Blue Oyster Cult wannabe song - the piano, ringing open chord, drums , bass, arrangment. Still a great song!

  13. M.... G....

    What would gjost be with martin persner still here? My opinion ghost needed him and the original members. This ghost we are hearing today is not as good

  14. J.... B....

    Can someone PLEASE mash this up with Don't Fear the Reaper

  15. b.... ....

    Two of ghost beat songs were written by Martin Persner.

  16. �.... �....

    один из красивейших треков))

  17. S.... B....

    Awesome!! This lot never fails to deliver!👍👏❤👊🤘

  18. P.... N....

    Amazing piece, a MASTERPIECE

  19. c.... ....

    I have never heard of this song before...
    I am rather pissed off at discovering it and knowing it isn't on the normal release of meliora.
    Wtf??!!!!

    But atleast I have discovered it

  20. M.... X....

    I need this song on Spotify ): when I’m in the street I can’t use YT

    M.... X....

    MF X3 so why don't you download it?

    M.... X....

    Gui-Evil 666 because it’s not good, Amen

  21. s.... V....

    Ghost is eternal and always will be iconic

  22. S.... A....

    My fav song ever 🖤🖤🖤

  23. J.... S....

    GHOSTS IMPERSONATION OF DEATHCLOK????

  24. D.... ....

    It's like all of the albums mixed into one

  25. T.... ....

    4:50 - 6:29 = Orgasmi multipli

  26. E.... N....

    Eargasm

  27. B.... G....

    Lovely afternoon 🇺🇸☔🍁😼💀

  28. R.... N....

    Good song.

  29. G.... B....

    i spend most of my monthly data on streaming this video...

  30. J.... O....

    Ah man how I wish they'd rerelease this box set, or some special edition of Meliora including the bonus tracks. The current box set is so rare and thus expensive

  31. Q.... W....

    I'm responsible for probably a solid half of your 2.8 million views. It's one of those songs I can just put on repeat and jam to for hours at a time.

  32. A.... ....

    Fucking awesome song!
    Sad that it's taken me so long to find it

  33. j.... l....

    The guitar sound like Don't Fear The Reaper

  34. L.... Z....

    I'm just crying

  35. t.... ....

    Don't Crucify me, but I have Faith that Zenith is Squarely the Pinnacle of Ghost's catalog.

  36. W.... B....

    This song a scale one to ten being heavy is a strong 5 but a hypnotic song ghost are legends in the making

  37. P.... N....

    RAYANNA, I presented myself beneath the waning crescent, stood vigilant with ORION through the night until the stars began to fall...they fall for you RAYANNA, to become your crown!!!

  38. P.... N....

    RAYANNA, you resurrect me back to life and devour my soul

  39. P.... N....

    I...must...be...consumed...by...RAYANNA

  40. P.... N....

    I presented myself beneath the waning crescent , stood ever vigilant with Orion, and the stars fell.
    They fall your you RAYANNA, to become your crown!!!

  41. P.... N....

    Damn my soul to hell for all eternity
    RAYANNA! Accept your fate.

  42. P.... K....

    Over and over again, and to hear again, I love it!

  43. R.... B....

    how have I not heard this before??? what kind of fan am I????

  44. Z.... D....

    I guess Fafafoohay was right. Boff owes him an apology.

  45. A.... H....

    I can almost hear Martin singing. This is definitely his song

  46. C.... Q....

    TIL I do not know every ghost song

  47. D.... M....

    "A “zenith” is the time at which something is at its peak. In this context, this is talking about humanity’s zenith, the time at which their scientific and technological advancements are at their highest.

    However, this zenith will never end as it fades into eternity and mankind will continue this unprecedented pace of discovery and enlightenment forevermore."

  48. T.... K....

    Garbage
    Fuck you /mu/

  49. E.... J....

    Martin Persner wrote this song for ghost when he was still in the band, If you are a fan of MCC, you should easily be able to tell this is a Martin song and even hear him singing it almost

  50. B.... B....

    Had to hunt this bitch down for a while to find the limited box set. I would have loved to see this on a deluxe edition or single release for everyone to enjoy. One of my favorite Ghost songs!

  51. J.... L....

    Crazy Mastermind is right! It definitely has "Another Day in Paradise" feel to it. This song defines many of us non-believers. Religion is a farce, a bucket full of lies. Be spiritual, think, ponder, meditate. Set yourself free. "A Genesis captured, ignited by Truth"...

  52. j.... ....

    I'd like to hear more stuff like this from them.

  53. I.... :....

    tfw you think this is their best song but it isn't even properly on an album and they don't play it live

  54. S.... C....

    SWEET BLOODY MARY how did I not know this song existed until now?! Holy Hell. Thank you for sharing!

  55. f.... ....

    Imagine ... the late great Peter Steele and Type O Negative doing a cover of this. Awesome Goth piece here. I still choke up over the loss; Rust In Peace Peter you are sorely missed

    f.... ....

    Dude! 100% And I never got to see them perform live.

    f.... ....

    @Steven Watkins aww sorry bro ... I did. Life-changing. See my avatar? Kenny's touring guitar 2002-03, still in awe that I got it.

  56. P.... ....

    VINYL RULES, DIGITAL BLOWS!

  57. C.... P....

    i love so much this song :,)

  58. C.... M....

    Has a sound like Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise. Cool song too, give it a listen.

  59. Z.... ....

    the piano bit sounds like Undertale to me haha

  60. N.... ....

    Just Imagine if Tobias Forge and Martin Persner wrote and entire album together just the two of them. holy shit that would break records but one can only dream 😔

    N.... ....

    Meliora

  61. c.... f....

    this song makes me feel weird. not sad nor happy.

  62. P.... D....

    I'd like to ask Tobias why he didn't include this on 'Meliora'. Such an awesome song.

    P.... D....

    It is but only on the limited deluxe edition. So 5000 copies of the album with this so g on it exist oh and you can stream it in Sweden.

  63. L.... ....

    20TilliDie Anyone?

  64. P.... F....

    la pesera zenith

  65. M.... K....

  68. M.... B....

    Hard to believe of what Ghost has become...

  69. Y.... G....

    Amazing song! love this! take my like and grab my sub!

  70. F.... R....

    Their best song

  71. L.... P....

    Oh ! How I miss this Ghost. The last promotion tracks sounds so hard/rock / pop /wtf!

  72. a.... ....

    Martin Persner was half of Ghost
    Without him the band will never be the same

  73. A.... Z....

    Easily one of Ghost's best song

  74. K.... O....

    Just remember this is a ‘throwaway’ song that most people - even Ghost fans - don’t know and it’s still fucking amazing. This one song would be enough to sustain most bands for a lifetime. And Ghost has one masterpiece after another after another after another

  75. L.... D....

    This song is a fucking masterpiece. I've listened to it hundreds of times and every single time my mind is blown at the creative genius that went into it.

  76. D.... W....

    This song is soooo bad ass!...always still I had..but someone stole this from me

  77. i.... u....

    Def has MCC feel to it

  78. S.... M....

    Does anyone else hear traces of Jethro Tull?

  79. A.... ....

    Why is this not on Spotify

  80. c.... f....

    I need this sing to be on all music services like yesterday

  81. T.... R....

    Holy HELL this is HUGE I love it and why do I discover this so late? Because there's always a right moment to discover something and this is now, and WOW thank you for sharing ▲♪♫

  82. C.... D....

    For some reason I always forget how badass this song is. I have no idea why. Shame on me! 😭

  83. A.... ....

    What a masterpiece...

    A.... ....

    It is. :D <3

    A.... ....

    Incluso la más pura y delicada ama a el poder de ghost

  84. R.... G....

    Most incredible intro of any song I think ive ever heard, damn

  85. R.... G....

    Has a cradle of filth, orden ogan , HIM vibe to it. That piano is hauntingly beautiful

  86. G.... S....

    Just found this band by fluke whilst reading about slipknot ,gosh is every song by these class I've not heard a bad 1 yet :)

  87. R.... Z....

    Gratest Vocals EVER

  88. L.... ....

    Thank you so much for uploading this! We Ghost fans need this on the daily <3

  89. T.... m....

    Brilliant

  90. S.... a....

    One of my TOP 5 favorite songs by Ghost... I have all their albums but still miss this one. That´s unfair!

  91. J.... ....

    I can really hear Martin in this song. Great guitar!

  92. D.... C....

    Honestly I like this song but I don't see why everyone makes it out to seem like it's their best

  93. K.... M....

    🖤🖤

  94. D.... C....

    A+ lighting and setup. A++++ vinyl recording.

  95. C.... d....

    Night will turn to Dawn

  96. P.... S....

  97. e.... r....

    e.... r....

  98. W.... G....

    The ones who put the dislike will be wiped out by their fucking merciful God!
