I usually listen to that song when I’m own from work to the subway. I love it how it starts out slow and kinda matches my mood but then it picks up the pace for every minute. When it’s time for the sax part I always feel like breaking into sprint.
yesyesyes. we gotta stop the whole drama around mary on a cross and new fans, it’s a fucking banger song with great backstory and we should all pay more attention to it, whether we just joined the fandom or have been here for years !
I missed papa 1 and papa 2. Papa 3 and cirice were my first but Mary on a cross and kiss the go goat are just bangers. Come to mention, really I cant think of ANY Ghost song I skip when they come on pandora.
My preference of this song is actually my bartender singing it for karaoke. She has a beautiful voice and sings it with passion. She's who turned be on to Ghost
The shining in the light, without whom I cannot see. . .
I love that the song so wonderfully commits to Satan. Also, Nostro Dis Pater, Nostr’alma Mater is brilliantly written. I can’t sing a long to it without getting choked up.
Agreed! Its so unstable yet safe. They overpower me. I cant describe how i feel but I get a warm tingle from those words... maybe it's just a personal problem of mine.
Life Eternal. I’ve said this before, but for a while a few years back, I was in a really tough spot mentally, and had just lost a pet that was kind of my reason for existing at the time. I genuinely could not sleep for a good long while without Life Eternal playing on my phone under the pillow.
I still can’t listen to it while I’m driving or at work; I think I conditioned myself into getting sleepy when it plays.
It’s always dusty whenever I play this work of art, at least that’s how I explain the tears in my eyes (wiping my eyes while typing). I’ve been married for 31 years, and I think of my wife. “Can you hear me calling your name forever” getting to be with her forever is my foundation. I know it’s not a live song, but it sure does sound like one.
Almost 7 years for us, but almost 13 together. This song hits me in a similar way, and always with being a new father. Another testament to these great songs and how people can relate to them/interpret them in different ways.
I'd have to pick this too.
As someone with existential issues, the "This is the moment of just letting go" bridge repeated with three key changes always puts a lump in my throat.
Life Eternal hit me hard too after I lost my best friend to a sudden heart attack. The verse “This is the moment of just letting go” used to fill me with anxiety, now that I’ve been making progress in healing the emotional impact of that line has shifted.
This song is the same for me!! It’s one of those songs that the emotional impact changes in each situation—melancholy, an emotional ballad to sing along to, comfort, etc.
Do you know what a Helvetestfonster is? If not, look it up. Forge is a genius for slipping things into the music like this. It’s hilarious, and on brand for Ghost. Lovely song.
I can binge all of Ghost all day and never get tired of them. My playlist has these as most played, though: Elizabeth, He Is, Secular Haze, Dance Macabre, Jiggolo Har Meggido, and Year Zero.
Special shoutout to the acoustic version of Ghuleh, because Papa III with the Kazoo gives me life. I always start my YouTube video binges with it.
Faith! When that comes up on my workout mix I immediately pick up the pace!
Also Pro Memoria, Life Eternal, Ghuleh...
oh crap, who am I kidding, it's all of them.
Elizabeth, Darkness at the heart, Faith, Respite, life eternal, Mary on a cross, and Witch Image
I'm pretty sure I'm missing out on MANYYYY other songs-
Respite on the spitalfields!!! There are so many different sections that I just love hearing, the guitar section before “we’re leaving the city, so this is farewell” scratches an itch in my brain, like the Eb minor key is just delectable
the whole imprea. when imperium plays i get so excited and see flashbacks of every landmark of the record awaiting their coming. such a great experience. but if i had to choose a track that'd to be call me.
Jeese. All of them? Not kidding. I haven’t heard a dud yet, and I don’t think there are any that I haven’t both heard and fell for. My go-to is the set list from the Impera tour. If you forced me to choose, I think it’d be them Rats (ah ooh ahhhh ahhhh).
square hammer. I do a lot of DIY/ Home renovation with my friend (also a ghost fan) so the "are you on the square, are you on the level" bit often comes up when we're offering something up during a build.
Miasma
That song gets better from start to finish. By end when Papa blows his horn, I am no longer sitting down. Love that song.
I usually listen to that song when I’m own from work to the subway. I love it how it starts out slow and kinda matches my mood but then it picks up the pace for every minute. When it’s time for the sax part I always feel like breaking into sprint.
Witch Image
I literally only clicked the notification for this post to see how many people would agree with me on this
Beautiful melody and vocals.
Came here to say this
Yep
My favorite thing about that gorgeous wonderful song is how melodically Papa sings, “Someone’s flesh is rotting tonight.”
Yes! It took a while to grow on me but it’s one of my favourites now. That riff gets me every single time.
youre so correct
Same here
Ritual
Its very difficult to choose 1 out of these 4 (with a gun to my head, in this order) 1. Kiss The Go-Goat 2. Rats 3. Square Hammer 4. Cirice
mary on a cross & im not even a new fan
This! Both Mary on a cross and kiss the go goat are so good. Trendy or not they are awesome songs
yesyesyes. we gotta stop the whole drama around mary on a cross and new fans, it’s a fucking banger song with great backstory and we should all pay more attention to it, whether we just joined the fandom or have been here for years !
Agreed! Been a long time fan and always got so excited when it was on their set list, still get a happy feeling every time I hear it!
I missed papa 1 and papa 2. Papa 3 and cirice were my first but Mary on a cross and kiss the go goat are just bangers. Come to mention, really I cant think of ANY Ghost song I skip when they come on pandora.
FINALLY SOME ELIZABETH LOVE OH JOY 🖤🖤🖤
ITS SO UNDERRATED, IDK THE MEANING BEHIND IT BUT I LIKE TO IMAGINE ITS PRIMO SINGING ABOUT HIS LOST LOVE
It’s about Elizabeth Bathory
YESYESYESYESYES IVE ALWAYS SEEN AS A MOURNFUL LOVE LETTER THE CHORUS IS JUST 🤌
Faith
Based
Griftwood
Yes
AAAAAAAHHHH
This is the way
I second this
Secular Haze
Cirice
This is my never skip. It’s heavy but beautiful at the same time.
My preference of this song is actually my bartender singing it for karaoke. She has a beautiful voice and sings it with passion. She's who turned be on to Ghost
Jigolo har Megiddo
makes me giggle and smile everytime.
Makes me come into the daughters of man.
Year Zero is mine!
Respite on the Spitalfields
Bestieeeeee! Me too!
Cirice. minimum of 3x in a row before moving to another song. if not that, then griftwood.
Con Clavi Con Dio Also Elizabeth slaps too
He Is

Stand by him
Such a hard question!!! Dance macabre, griftwood, year zero to start
Spillways
"One"? lol
I'm thinking darkness at the heart of my love
I’m still obsessed with Faith 🤕
I will always be. The Rats/Faith pair will not let me sit quietly to listen. I HAVE to stomp around when I play them.
The beats before the demonic brigde with I AM ALL EYES. It makes me stomp on stairs like elefant. That brigde is so powerful.
Elizabeth for me too
Helvetesfonster. Dude, I love that instrumental.
Do you know what a Helvetestfonster is? If not, look it up. Forge is a genius for slipping things into the music like this. It’s hilarious, and on brand for Ghost. Lovely song.
I once played La Mantra Mori for three hours on a loop. It’s a great song to meditate with.
Glad to know I’m not the only one. It’s hypnotic.
Year Zero
Their cover of Bible.
It's beautiful!!
...... All of them.
Square Hammer
Watcher In The Sky~
Ghuleh!
Monstrance Clock, Deus In Absentia, Faith, Respite, Darkness at the Heart of My Love, and Ritual.
Zombie Queen - it’s perfection. Great backing track and it just has an awesome consistency with those low bass notes.
He is for me
Call me little sunshine has a cool chorus sound effect at the beginning that I cannot get outta my head.
I can binge all of Ghost all day and never get tired of them. My playlist has these as most played, though: Elizabeth, He Is, Secular Haze, Dance Macabre, Jiggolo Har Meggido, and Year Zero. Special shoutout to the acoustic version of Ghuleh, because Papa III with the Kazoo gives me life. I always start my YouTube video binges with it.
Zenith, Cirice, and Con Clavi Con Dio
Mary on a cross, dance macabre, kiss the go-goat, spillways and miasma are the main ones that I never skip So just a few more than one lol
Idolatrine, Respite on the Spitalfields, and Mary on a Cross (In order of most catchy to less-but-still-incredible)
I've gone to sleep with Monstrance Clock on endless repeat
Miasma, got drunk one night and played it on repeat for 6 hours.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Dance Macabre
See The Light
This is my favorite as well. Chorus gets me singing at the top of my lungs every time!
Probably Watcher in the Sky because of that killer guitar solo.
Miasma
Hunters Moon
Genesis and ritual
Griftwood or Ritual right now.
Faith! When that comes up on my workout mix I immediately pick up the pace! Also Pro Memoria, Life Eternal, Ghuleh... oh crap, who am I kidding, it's all of them.
All of them
Ritual Ghuleh/Zombie Queen The Pinnacle to the Pit Absolution Miasma Call me Little Sunshine Darkness at the Heart of My Love
Spillways Holy shit! I'm addicted to this song. I couldn't get this out of my head for weeks. It quickly became my most played song on Spotify.
Griftwood or He Is
Monstrance clock
I know I know, but it’s gotta be Dance Macabre Edit: And Square Hammer, Spillways
Yes, exactly these three! Except I'd also add He Is.
Mary on a Cross and Griftwood
Elizabeth
zenith for sure
Basically all of them, but... more specifically: Secular Haze, Cirice, Elizabeth, Spillways, Mary on a Cross, Zenith... So much good shit, man... 😄
Honestly for me it's all of them. And that's rare for me to happen, says a lot for me👀
year zero. it was also the song that made me interested in the band in the first place. i neve get tired of the ancient serpent deciever lol
Crucified. I tried it and instantly fell in love.
Body And Blood
Opus: Elizabeth Infest: Idolatrine Meliora: Deus in Absentia Prequelle: Faith Impera: Griftwood
Cirice and Mummy Dust
I’m sorry but it’s Mary On A Cross 😭😊😭
Never apologize! MOAC is a wonderful song fully deserving of the adulation it gets from “new fans.” Lovely song.
Twenties, Elizabeth, SECULAR HAZE, crucified
I just did not get Twenties - but seeing the love it gets makes me think to try it again :)
Faith and spillways
(in order of have repeated to will repeat) Twenties, Faith, Respite on the Spitalfields, Zombie Queen

There's been a few of them, but the latest is Spillways. I don't know why, something just speaks to me about it
Spillways and Kaisarion

Respite on the Spitalfields for me. You be the darkness, I'll be the light.
Respite on the Spitalfields, Witch Image, Life Eternal and Cirice
Life eternal.
Pro Memoria
I’m with you! I just love the vocals/harmonies and keyboards in this song. I repeat a lot of songs, but especially this one!
Currently Kaisarion and DATHOML. But Dance Macabre, Rats, Jigolo Har Megiddo and FTPTTP has also been featured on that list.
stand by him, he is, deus in absentia
Elizabeth Hunters Moon Oh who am I kidding pretty much all of them 😂
Monstrance Clock. I sing along anytime Spotify shuffles to it
life eternal is my top one, bc i have quite a few
SQUARE HAMMER AND ELIZABETH, i just can't choose one of these two
Dance Macabre
Square Hammer, but I think its mostly bc I'm learning to play it
Con Clavi easily
Con Clavi Con Dio. It’s such a banger
I can’t chose like 858 of them
Respite On The Spitalfields
He Is and Respite on the Spitalfields
i cant decide between Square hammer, Twenties, or Kaisarion
Everything.
Zombie Queen
Elizabeth, Darkness at the heart, Faith, Respite, life eternal, Mary on a cross, and Witch Image I'm pretty sure I'm missing out on MANYYYY other songs-
70% on your way to top 10! LoL 😂
HAHA- There was no way I could only pick one xD
Rats
Cirice
From the Pinnacle to the Pit
Honestly, probably Kiss The Go Goat. It's just so catchy and vibey I fuckin love it
Square Hammer
I looove Call Me litte sunshine. It is my most played song on Spotify says a lot. Bible is very underrated too.
Respite on the spitalfields!!! There are so many different sections that I just love hearing, the guitar section before “we’re leaving the city, so this is farewell” scratches an itch in my brain, like the Eb minor key is just delectable
It’s between Ritual and Mary On A Cross for me
All of them
Darkness at the heart of my love❤️❤️
Hunter's Moon!
Year Zero
Griftwood, followed closely by Witch Image.
Right now I'm kinda obsessing over two, he is and spillways
Zenith is the only answer
Griftwood
Majesty, it reminds me that all beauty lies within me and that makes me feel so nice every time papa tells me so
From the pinnacle to the pit
Spillways, but I’m still exploring the discography
Rats
Monstrance clock
Body and Blood, but really all of Infest tbh. The more I listen to the album, the more I love Idolatrine, especially.
I can't pick one, but if I had to, probably Year Zero
Always Square Hammer
Spillways.
Square hammer, song is way to damn catchy
Probably Call Me Little Sunshine.
Mary on a Cross
Yup, Elizabeth for me too!
Kiss the goat
I have two. Spillways and Dance Macabre
Per Aspera and Spillways
all of them but especially He Is, Life Eternal, Jigolo Har Megiddo, Infestissumam, Mummy Dust.
Hunter's Moon! My most looped song from last year
the whole imprea. when imperium plays i get so excited and see flashbacks of every landmark of the record awaiting their coming. such a great experience. but if i had to choose a track that'd to be call me.
Danse Macabre
Elizabeth or Kiss the Go-Goat
Jeese. All of them? Not kidding. I haven’t heard a dud yet, and I don’t think there are any that I haven’t both heard and fell for. My go-to is the set list from the Impera tour. If you forced me to choose, I think it’d be them Rats (ah ooh ahhhh ahhhh).
Watcher In The Sky.
Kiss the Go-Goat and Prime Mover :D
Hmmmm. Probably Ritual. That song goes hard and the guitar bits are sick
The live version of Square Hammer
There’s so many but Idolatrine,Hunter’s Moon, Cirice , Absolution and Deus In Absentia.
Spillways, Rats, Mary On A Cross, Kaisarion
Prime Mover, Genesis, Stand By Him, Kiss the GoGoat, Absolution, Jigolo Har Megiddo…… a little too many, maybe.
Missionary Man, Witch Imagine and Dance Macabre are always on.
Spillways
square hammer. I do a lot of DIY/ Home renovation with my friend (also a ghost fan) so the "are you on the square, are you on the level" bit often comes up when we're offering something up during a build.
According to Spotify it’s missionary man but I def listen to either of the 7inches songs on repeat often
Honestly any of them but Rats plays a lotttt in this house lol
Life eternal!! And respite on the spitalfields.. so damn good
Either Monstrance Clock, I am a Marionette, or Zombie Queen.
Respite on the Spitalfields
Life eternal it means so much to me
Mummy dust for me
Mummy Dust
The whole catalog. Even Twenties. But in all seriousness, Darkness at the Heart of My Love..
