#he is ghost

So we all agree that like. Twenties would go great with Silco and Jinx. And that He Is would go great with Viktor. Like. We all agree right.

He is - Ghost (Violin Cover)

I never claimed to be a professional, or even exceptionally good, but i can work my way around a violin almost!

Enjoy this cover of "He Is" that I did at 10 pm :D I'm brand new to the Ghost fandom so consider this my hello!! Blaming my friend for getting me so brainrotted over this band.

(Karaoke track was added in afterwards so if timing is a bit odd, that's why. Here's the track I used!

I figured based on Cirice and Mary On A Cross that there were a lot more really good Jinx and Silco songs where that came from so I asked my friend who's obsessed with Ghost for recommendations and omg he did not disappoint. Call Me Little Sunshine? He Is? Darkness At The Heart Of My Love? HELLO

So I've been listening to Ghost a lot and thinking about the song He Is. It has some latin in it, which makes sense given the Roman Catholic aesthetic the band has... but what is the whole song was in Latin?

Original Lyrics:

We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names

He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater He is

We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void

He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater He is

He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see And he is The disobedience that holds us together He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater And we are falling over the precipice

Latin Lyrics:

Hic stamus per abyssum et mundus ardet Duo amantes sidereos traiecit ad bestiam cum multis nominibus protendere ipse est Hic est splendor et lux sine quo videre non possum Et ipse est Seditio, malignitas, vis me fecit ipse est Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater ipse est Hic intra somnium latemus et omnia dubia nunc perierunt Ductu stellarum matutinarum iter in vacuum ducet ipse est Hic est splendor et lux sine quo videre non possum Et ipse est Seditio, malignitas, vis me fecit ipse est Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater ipse est ipse est Hic est splendor et lux sine quo videre non possum Et ipse est Seditio, malignitas, vis me fecit ipse est Hic est splendor et lux sine quo videre non possum Et ipse est Inobedientia quae nos tenet ipse est Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater Et nos in praecipitium incidemus

Thoughts:

I really like the vibe of this song and think the whole thing being in Latin is great, but as with translating any song the lyrics don't quite fit the rhythm. As of yet, I am not good enough with Latin to make the lyrics fit, only to translate them. I will revisit this song in the future when I am able to play around with the words more! I'll use this like a test to see how well I'm progressing with the language (especially since Latin is my hardest language class rn)

Ghost - He Is (Lyric Video)

[ghostmyworld]

He is

He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see

And he is

Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be

He is

Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
