Life Eternal is about how everything comes to an end, or does it? We believe death to be the end but if there’s an afterlife then there is no end and that means that a commitment would be eternal, so would you be willing to commit to being the same person forever? Life Eternal Lyrics April 6th 2017 compounds that when former band members file a law suit against the man behind the mask of Papa Emeritus III naming every band member to date. Two weeks later, Papa is interviewed on Radio Metal but for the first time is interviewed as himself and gives his real name. Rather than reprising his role as Papa Emeritus, Forge has stepped into the Sunday shoes of one Cardinal Copia, a sprightly, pale-faced clergyman who rolls his R’s like Spanish royalty and carries a boombox wherever he goes. His gleeful, “Thriller”-esque choreography in the music video for “Rats,” Prequelle’s fist-pumping first single, epitomizes the record and the paradigm shift it heralds: As Forge pirouettes his way through the burning, rodent-infested streets like a vampiric Gene Kelly, Ghost’s old solemnity fades away, revealing an easily accessible dark comedy that proves immensely fun despite its flaws.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come and see!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. ( Revelation 6:3-4)This release was issued with covers with five different placings of a rider and a horse. It seems the various versions of the cover has been randomly distributed among the different versions of the release.

The mortician in the video who embalms the three Papas bears a striking resemblance to Babish from the YouTube video series Binging with Babish. At 2:43 in the video, one of the Papa’s feet twitches which is pretty obvious as the foot is in the foreground. This may be intentional though as the body may be experiencing a Cadaveric Spasm, a rare condition that is almost only seen in those who died a violent death. Red Smoke (Limited, total number unknown. A2 poster, Lenticular 3-D cover) available from kingsroadmerch.com [SOLD OUT?], lomavistarecordings.com [SOLD OUT?] The intro to Pro Memoria was written for Meliora while the verses and chorus were written during the recording of Popestar. 8There also seems to be an homage of sorts to one of the paintings from the 15th century Hours of Catherine of Cleves manuscript in the Hellmouth depicted below the Pope. Helvetesfönster translates from Swedish as ‘Hell Window’ and was a style of dress during The Middle Ages which was square cut and revealed a side view of a woman’s breasts. It is the second instrumental on Prequelle.

It also seems to be a thinly veiled message to the former Ghouls of Ghost. Faith Lyrics

Some of the piano sequences seem to be influenced by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar musical, specifically the titular song which is also known as The Song of Judas. For those who aren’t musically inclined, it is easier to hear the similarity at the 3 minute mark when compared to Laibach’s cover of Jesus Christ Superstar as the piano arrangement is louder. Start from around 3:50 onwards. Greg Eliason worked as assistant engineer; he has previously worked with Lorde and Jennifer Lopez and others.Engineering on the album was by Clif Norrell who has worked with Miley Cyrus, The Rollins Band, REM, Bruce Springsteen and more. The video shows Cardinal Copia dancing while dead bodies are cleared away by workers in HazMat suits (although at the 1:35 mark they seem to have forgotten their gloves). fixed two typos, removed speculation on identity of the girls in the Chapter One video, corrected date of Rats filming and added extra info courtesy of Tim Lanning. Edited the description of Meliora, thanks to Vot-Gospod-Satana on Reddit. Added in details on Saint Peter, thanks to Meraxes20 on YouTube reminding me of Sunday School. Chart placings added.
