I love how everyone has come here to say thank you! Because of you we all got to hear this song, and Ghost discovered how very much we adore it! I will always see this vinyl in my mind when I hear the song, and I will always come back here to listen to the pops and crackles I grew up with as a kid listening to vinyl! 😊
Thank you! It was honestly my pleasure :) I just decided to get a nice recording of it because i was excited to get the box set, didn't realize it would reach so many fellow fans!

I like this song because if someone were to ask you what type of music ghost plays you just play them this song. It has the evilness of year zero, the heaviness of cirice, the elegance of monstrance clock, and the catchyness of ritual
Alexis Del Castillo i agree with everything expect the evilness of year zero. that song is one on it's own, no other song like it. secular haze was the first song i ever heard and i liked it, year zero was second and it scared the shit out of me. that "satanic" dark dress video be they had is what draws everyone in, and ghost changed their sound heavily to fit mainstream.
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
Kenneth Ostrer this is a great song I agree but it didn’t make the album because it didn’t fit the concept. It was released on vinyl I have it and you are correct it is a masterpiece and Ghost is probably one of the best bands to come around in quite sometime.
After all this years, Ghost finally released Zenith on streaming. And I’m here to thank you, cuz you were all we got during all this years. You put this record in our lives and you deserve lots of recognition 🎉
That’s what I was saying when I first found this song! It could have easily made it into Opus Eponymous or Meliora. This song is so underrated and I LOVE IT
This will always be the official video for me. The crazy camera angle, colored vinyl. Bass drop pitch bend before the chorus. It got me through many of my janitor shifts hunched over my cleaning barrel.

Thanks for let me discover this masterpiece. Now Zenith has been released officially and I will playing it on Spotify a lot, but always thinking on this video. Thank you for sharing.
I think this song is when the singer kinda realized his potential . That's why Ghost is my favourite band is because this singer dictates what happens. Can't think of another musician with such genre transcending song structure. Every song these guys make I can pick the decade for each part. Just nasty
@@JohnnySnipshow ironically, this and year zero are the 2 songs written by Martin Persner (Omega) I worry this song was made rare so people wouldn't notice how much martin is better than tobias at writing satanic metal
It's sickening how much I love Ghost. Such well-composed, pretty music for Satan. Who says it only has to be black metal? Seriously, Ghost is one of the best bands to emerge out of the last few years.
Dear Jacek Ignaszak, I would like to thank you for your 8 years of service, your contribution to the history of Ghost has not gone unnoticed. Just know that whenever I and countless other fans listen to the official audio, we will be perfectly picturing the lime green vinyl spinning on your turntable for many years to come. Nothing will ever replace the faint scratch at the beginning and the buzzing at the end of the record, I still phantomly hear it whilst listening to the official release. - A Nameless Fan (lmao)
I just have to say, thank you for putting this music on TH-cam, even though Ghost now released it here, you were the one who gave people the chance to hear this masterpiece. Our hero! Thank you 🫡
Honestly I still prefer this version over the re-release. This has such great bass. Genuinely thankful you uploaded this even though it's been years now.
I've slowly become a huge fan of this band over the past several months. This is arguably their best track. I can't stop listening. It has everything I've come to expect from Ghost - mystery, poetry, sadness, and evil grooves. And that amazing keyboard dive at 1:25. Hail Ghost!
As a relatively new (6 months) Ghost fan I've gotta say, HOW DOES THIS SONG SLIP PAST THE RADAR? HOW IS THIS NOT AMONG THE TOP 5 SONGS OF ANY BAND YOU'VE EVER LISTENED TO? We need to have a serious chat you and I.
A sad truth, Ghost's more Pop-like songs get more attention, because Poppy catchier songs grab radio time easier. This track is fire, but we need to remember that most listeners don't need fancy intricacies, but only a catchy hook that repeats itself, and we see that Ghost has been pretty successful with that on Dance macabre, Square hammer and such.
This song always makes me think of Tobias and Martin, and that makes me sad. The two of them made some amazing music together, and it hurts knowing that something got between them the way it did.
Their still friends. They get on great! Nothing came between them. After Martin hurt his shoulder, they parted ways a little later. He wasn't even part of the lawsuit. Martin always got all his writing credits
Today is finally the day. Thank you for this upload all those years back. I can't tell you how many times I've come back to this video just to hear the song, not to mention the video itself is a soothing vibe. Thanks again homie 🤘 glad to see others giving thanks today too
Probably their best track. Omega (Martin) is all over this, but I get why it didn't make the album. Doesn't quite fit the flow, yet stands out so well on its own. I'd be happy if it carried over to the next album though, not that that's likely.
It couldddd be on the new album coming sooner this year or maybe next year. Honestly the new album is giving me 60's vibes because Tobias covered Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. The new Papa just gives the look too, but I would highly doubt this were to be on an album.
so... is this going to be Ghost´s very own "Alexander the Great" and we are going to beg for them to play this live one day? forever? and ever? (forever)
Ghost is like Maiden in that all of their songs are fucking bangers and some of the greats are gonna be lost to popular setlists forever ... Somewhere in Time is my fav Maiden album and we almost never get to hear it's full glory
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
now... in these time... you are not even able to fucking search the fucking real lyrics of the fucking song.... fucking crystal fucks!!!! go fuck yourself... don't try to hijack the fucking song... it does not belong to you! Go fuck yourself.... Viki!!!!
I always thought it had a Blue Oyster Cult feel to it. The dryness of the compression and distortion on the guitars, the vox, the keyboards. One of my favorite pieces by Ghost.
Totally agree! Thought of BOC the first time I heard it. Only recently discovered the song. Been jamming it a lot lately. Saw them live a couple of weeks ago. It was everything I expected and more!!
Why does this band have to be so damn perfect? I mean, Miasma; that amazing sax solo, Zenith; the piano riffs. Every other song; the amazing bass. I wish I could see these wonderful people in concert.
four years late to this comment but YES THE BASS!! as a bassist myself i started listening to them only this past winter and i was hooked by their magic but i was soon caught up in a trance in the basslines of nearly every song
Everyday I listen to my Ghost playlist on Spotify, and then every day I come here to pay homage to this absolute masterpiece. It's just so beautiful. 🥲
THIS should have been the official Ghost-approved video of this song. The lime vinyl gives it some additional touch of spookiness. Thank you for your years of service, Jacek. Legend!
Big thank you for uploading this, I’ve probably watched it 1000 times over the years. Still come back because the spinning vinyl suits the song in a strange way.
Bro, thank you for bring us this song 8 years ago when it was only vinyl, now that ghost bring it officially, new fans dont know that you were the legend who made us know it first, and old fans like me wants to thank you
The most amusing thing of all is that even though Ghost has now provided an official upload of Zenith, this version still has clearer audio and so remains the best version on the internet.
It feels like something that would be on Prequelle and not just a hidden/bonus track for Meliora. It gives me the dark age/plague vibe like how Prequelle was centered on and not the whole humanism and avarice thing.
Evening listening on Spotify, I still picture the spinning record. I’m coming by to say my thanks as well. We really appreciated you uploading this 8 years ago!
I don't quit understand why they didn't put this on Meliora, especially since the theme of this song goes along very nicely with the one on the album. Luckily I was able to snap me my own copy of the song!
My thought on this is that it would kind of destroy the effect that listening to Meliora as a whole has on listeners. Zenith kind of connects Deus in Absentia to Spirit so that the Album would become full circle. Looks like that was not intended which is why they put Zenith out via Vinyl. This way everyone is able to enjoy Meliora as a complete piece of art and Zenith apart from it. We are still free to download and cue it in a playlist after Deus in Absentia.
Yeah the probable reason is that tobias is a massive control freak and the idea of 2 songs written by anyone else being under the name of ghost is just too far
We conquered the 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 followed illusion Your zenith fades into eternity Time will soon be gone Night will turn to dawn Winds come on strong So they do not come unleashed You're set free A genesis captured, ignited by truth A murderous rapture, a vision to soon Devoured by shadows We cling to the light Deluded by wisdom, the bringer of night Now and for always, a perpetual rise A followed illusion Your zenith fades into eternity Time will soon be gone Night will turn to dawn Winds come on strong So they do not come unleashed You're set free Time will soon be gone Night will turn to dawn Winds come on strong So they do not come unleashed You're set free . . . You're welcome
This gives me the chills every time I listen to it and I've heard it easily over 100 times. I know this is purely an opinion but I really do believe this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
Before I heard this song, I would always scroll past this video thinking, "Why do I see this song in particular on vinyl and not another?" Now I know why.
Hands down my favorite song. I remember when I discovered this about a year ago, it blew me away. The articulation when it comes to the instrumental is so amazing. It sets such a quality of mood as well. I really hope that down the line Tobias makes more of this kind of music when it comes to Ghost. It’s such a shame that they have never played this live.
Whoa! A Ghost song I had not yet heard. And you weren't kidding about the quality. Currently listening for the first time and already love it! Thanks again Jacek!
I know ghost references a lot in their songs and the meaning isn't always the face-value, but considering the lyrics, can you feel how ominous this is? You sold your soul to Satan, you enjoyed the gifts he gave you, and you are at the height of your glory, from now on you go downwards, you will grow old and die, your evils will be revealed, shit is about to hit the fan, and you can only be unshackled by the god you gave your back to, if he only wished to. But he won't, and you're going to the age of ages, eternity in hell, no escape. That's fucking dark, man.
That theory actually makes sense, with that theory in mind listen to Deus in Absentia, the devil is here to take his soul and tells him everything is over and he wants to reach out to God but the devil tells him God is not there. Deus in Absentia- God is absent.
@@Hwarming I agree... it feels more like a dark ballad to the plight of the human race... for all of out workings and passions, it will all fade into the grandeur of time and the eventual heat death of the universe... simultaneously transcendent and nihilistic, the way we view it is up to us
@@Hwarmingthere is a figure in tantric Hinduism and Buddhism, the most wrathful and destructive face of shiva. This god figure is called bhairava mahakala... roughly translating to the “the terrible greatness of time”... it is not terrifying because it is evil or malicious, but because it is one of the great universal truths. Eventually everything is ground down by entropy in the passage of time

now... in these time... you are not even able to fucking search the fucking real lyrics of the fucking song.... fucking crystal fucks!!!! go fuck yourself... don't try to hijack the fucking song... it does not belong to you! Go fuck yourself.... Viki!!!!
I always thought it had a Blue Oyster Cult feel to it. The dryness of the compression and distortion on the guitars, the vox, the keyboards. One of my favorite pieces by Ghost.
They copied the BOC guitar picking style. That’s why.
Totally agree! Thought of BOC the first time I heard it. Only recently discovered the song. Been jamming it a lot lately. Saw them live a couple of weeks ago. It was everything I expected and more!!
Yeah
Oh yeah this is Ghost leaning harder into Don’t Fear the Reaper mode than ever
Its VERY Blue Oyster. I've always said that and I'm happy to hear someone else say it.
I love how this sounds better than the official audio. Amazing. Well done!
Why does this band have to be so damn perfect? I mean, Miasma; that amazing sax solo, Zenith; the piano riffs. Every other song; the amazing bass. I wish I could see these wonderful people in concert.
four years late to this comment but YES THE BASS!! as a bassist myself i started listening to them only this past winter and i was hooked by their magic but i was soon caught up in a trance in the basslines of nearly every song
picture this: this song with a backing orchestra and a live choir in a historic theatre 😍😍😍
Mario Castillo youre right. most of their songs would sound amazing with a live orchestra especially this one deus in absentia and infestissumam
They've already done a performance with a choir at Hellfest 2016
LeMetalleuxFou True but it was a kids choir and it doesnt sound as cool as a full adult choir
And Deus in Absentia!!!
Epic!!!!
This song is the definition of Ghost
which is funny because originally it is an MCC song. :p
@@TheKartoffel101 it sounds just like martin too. It's crazy the change in sound once he left
I like definitions and Rats by Ghost.
I can not thank you enough for uploading this insanely devious quality
Everyday I listen to my Ghost playlist on Spotify, and then every day I come here to pay homage to this absolute masterpiece. It's just so beautiful. 🥲
Same! So strange that this tune was never released on any EPs or other compilations that Tobias made....oh well.
THIS should have been the official Ghost-approved video of this song. The lime vinyl gives it some additional touch of spookiness. Thank you for your years of service, Jacek. Legend!
I cannot describe how big my love for this band is
Agreed.
Same. Ghost = Life
I love, too
Same, of course
This song is like the best song of a good band, but Ghost is so fantastic that it's a vinyl exclusive bonus track.
It's a limited edition bonus track. Which is also able to stream in Sweden
It is one of Ghost's best songs, though. It really should've been straight up put on Meliora.
Thank you for being an og, we owe you everything.
Thank you friend, you’ve served us well, it’s officially released on Spotify now
Big thank you for uploading this, I’ve probably watched it 1000 times over the years. Still come back because the spinning vinyl suits the song in a strange way.
Bro, thank you for bring us this song 8 years ago when it was only vinyl, now that ghost bring it officially, new fans dont know that you were the legend who made us know it first, and old fans like me wants to thank you
IT FINALLY HAPPENED! THEY RELEASED IT ON SPOTIFY!!
The most amusing thing of all is that even though Ghost has now provided an official upload of Zenith, this version still has clearer audio and so remains the best version on the internet.
Such gorgeous harmony at 3:35. Thanks for uploading this. It's a treasure.
This song hits different, I can't explain why
The way "perpetual" is pronounced, I never want to hear it another way.
I dont know how you used to say it but this is quite normal for me
Most Americans pronounce the "TU" as a "CH," which is rather inelegant.
I have traveled thousands of miles, across oceans to see GHOST. They are by far my favorite group.
Goodness gracious, what a monster track. Criminal that it isn't more widespread. This is their best work by far.
Love it. Probably my favorite Ghost track.
Agreed.
you guys know anything similar ?
Pretty much anything by HIM sounds like this.
iv heard pretty much all of him but thanks
You weren't joking when you said best quality :)
+Tom williams Haha yup, enjoy :)
This is the same quality as every other video I've seen. Lol.
SkepticalContrarian You're just being contrarian.
You pronounced it wrong, it's Cuntrarian.
Tom williams HD for real.
I now think Zenith was a prequel/prologue for Prequelle.
It feels like something that would be on Prequelle and not just a hidden/bonus track for Meliora. It gives me the dark age/plague vibe like how Prequelle was centered on and not the whole humanism and avarice thing.
Evening listening on Spotify, I still picture the spinning record. I’m coming by to say my thanks as well. We really appreciated you uploading this 8 years ago!
Beautiful voice. Amazing band. They just keep getting better with each passing year.
I agree, these guys are amazing and i love their work.
I don't quit understand why they didn't put this on Meliora, especially since the theme of this song goes along very nicely with the one on the album. Luckily I was able to snap me my own copy of the song!
My thought on this is that it would kind of destroy the effect that listening to Meliora as a whole has on listeners. Zenith kind of connects Deus in Absentia to Spirit so that the Album would become full circle. Looks like that was not intended which is why they put Zenith out via Vinyl. This way everyone is able to enjoy Meliora as a complete piece of art and Zenith apart from it. We are still free to download and cue it in a playlist after Deus in Absentia.
Yeah the probable reason is that tobias is a massive control freak and the idea of 2 songs written by anyone else being under the name of ghost is just too far
I can't and don't want to stop listening to this masterpiece
the intro is just pure ghost talent i love them so much
I would sell every single one of my family members to hear this live
Same same
real
i'd sell one of my kidneys to see it live
😂😂😂😂😂
We conquered the 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 followed illusion
Your zenith fades into eternity
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So they do not come unleashed
You're set free
A genesis captured, ignited by truth
A murderous rapture, a vision to soon
Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom, the bringer of night
Now and for always, a perpetual rise
A followed illusion
Your zenith fades into eternity
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So they do not come unleashed
You're set free
Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So they do not come unleashed
You're set free

You're welcome

7 years later, Jacek, and I still owe you a debt for uploading this.
This gives me the chills every time I listen to it and I've heard it easily over 100 times. I know this is purely an opinion but I really do believe this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
Thank you for all of the great rides and memories of sharing this video!
Before I heard this song, I would always scroll past this video thinking, "Why do I see this song in particular on vinyl and not another?" Now I know why.
this song makes me want to build a better me. Thank you ghost....
If you have ghost, you have everything
Same! All their music does that for me. +Hail Satan+, right?
Hands down my favorite song. I remember when I discovered this about a year ago, it blew me away. The articulation when it comes to the instrumental is so amazing. It sets such a quality of mood as well. I really hope that down the line Tobias makes more of this kind of music when it comes to Ghost. It’s such a shame that they have never played this live.
the bassline is amazing
Back here listening again all this time later to say this is still my favorite song of theirs and you’re the reason I even knew it existed! Thank you!
Might be weird but listening to this song on a nice warm summer night, just is beautiful
I can picture this being the end credits song of a movie
It honestly very well could be if Ghost makes a movie like they've been talking about of late
Can't beat the old songs of ghost. This is up there with the best of them. Sheer class
Whoa! A Ghost song I had not yet heard. And you weren't kidding about the quality. Currently listening for the first time and already love it! Thanks again Jacek!
So happy I have this on vinyl. Amazing song, hope they go back to this style.
Change ur locks because I’m coming to your house
Jealous (respectfully, I swear….. Im too broke)
I know ghost references a lot in their songs and the meaning isn't always the face-value, but considering the lyrics, can you feel how ominous this is? You sold your soul to Satan, you enjoyed the gifts he gave you, and you are at the height of your glory, from now on you go downwards, you will grow old and die, your evils will be revealed, shit is about to hit the fan, and you can only be unshackled by the god you gave your back to, if he only wished to. But he won't, and you're going to the age of ages, eternity in hell, no escape. That's fucking dark, man.
To me this is a very humanist song. That we've conquered the wild forces and mastered the world around us, and we're in a continual zenith
That theory actually makes sense, with that theory in mind listen to Deus in Absentia, the devil is here to take his soul and tells him everything is over and he wants to reach out to God but the devil tells him God is not there. Deus in Absentia- God is absent.
That itself is just one of the many reasons why Ghost is my favorite
@@Hwarming I agree... it feels more like a dark ballad to the plight of the human race... for all of out workings and passions, it will all fade into the grandeur of time and the eventual heat death of the universe... simultaneously transcendent and nihilistic, the way we view it is up to us
@@Hwarmingthere is a figure in tantric Hinduism and Buddhism, the most wrathful and destructive face of shiva. This god figure is called bhairava mahakala... roughly translating to the “the terrible greatness of time”... it is not terrifying because it is evil or malicious, but because it is one of the great universal truths. Eventually everything is ground down by entropy in the passage of time
