How to write a GHOST song

Writing a GHOST Song | One Man Bands Episode 5

How's it going guys? This week we're writing a song inspired by Swedish Metal band GHOST.

On Monday I covered their track "Rats" which you can watch here -    • GHOST - RATS | ONE MAN BAND COVER  

This is a band I knew I wanted to dive into when I started this channel, and I really think this is the best song yet! Writing a big stadium rock anthem with spooky organs and a choir of backing vocals was amazingly fun, so I hope you all enjoy it!

If you want to skip straight to the song it's at 20:40

DIVINE - LYRICS

If I offered a piece of the sky
Would you take it without asking why?
And if I offered the secrets of life
Would you take them without asking twice?
So consumed by desire

Divine
Across the line
Converted
Desperate to crawl to the light
A beast sublime and deserted
Losing the will to do right

Greedy hands grasping high in the air
Golden idols will fall in despair
Topple temples with water and wine
Be you strong or maligned

Divine
Across the line
Converted
Desperate to crawl to the light
A beast sublime and deserted
Losing the will to do right

If you could have it all would you be more coercive?
Making a friend of the night
A mere neanderthal who imagines a person
Who's locked in a clear satellite

I'm terrified, mortified, petrified
But you're here
The bona fide, nationwide, testified
Lunatic fear
From one day to the next
The present is the test
Watching over life, the virtuous seer

Divine
Across the line
Converted
Desperate to crawl to the light
A beast sublime and deserted
Losing the will to do right

If you could have it all would you be more coercive?
Making a friend of the night
A mere neanderthal who imagines a person
Who's locked in a clear satellite
