      That line's been bothering me all month as deadlines approach. I tried using it as motivation to stay on top of things and not hold them off until the last minute, but everything kept going wrong and causing delays all month (so I guess it's a good thing that I did try to stay on top of things, or everything would have been late). God, March always sucks ass.

    A prophecy told
    We're building our empire
    From the ashes of an old

    The fruit of the womb
    Our brotherhood of good faith
    Sealed an apostate witch's doom
    It's the sound of another deadline
    Whistling past your ears
    It's the sight of a million regrets
    Mounting over years
    It's the words that were never spoken
    That echoes through the times
    It's the smell of the burning temples
    Swept away by rhymes
    (Hypatia)
    Far away from the stench of the heavens
    (Hypatia)
    Long ago yet too close to forever
    (Hypatia)
    When a paradise is lost go straight to
    Kaisarion
    A matter of love
    When mother earth is calling
    For a father up above
    Kaisarion
    Put on the smiles
    And throw your holy rocks right at her
    For her satanic wiles
    It's the truth of candour shown
    Through a prism of deceit
    It's the continence of bishops
    With their choirboys en suite
    It's the tongue soiled in adulation
    That licks to no avail
    It's the noise of the rightious dogma
    That hides the handmaid's tail

    Some might now, some probably "googl'ed" it. "Kaiserion" is kinda tribute/requiem to Hypatia of Alexandria. She was a philosopher, mathematician and inventor and had a lot of moral authority and influence on political scene, and among the people. She is also called "martyr of science". She was sentenced to death by Cyril of Alexandria due to her contact with Orestes, viceroy of Egypt, and probably Cyril's jealousy of respect she had among the people of Alexandria.

      Tobias wanted it to be the first single. But the American record company didn't listen as they're already had decided that Call me little sunshine was supposed to be that. This is also why Tobias played it live before it was released because in his mind the decision was wrong and he had already prepared for Imperium and Kaisarion to start the conserts off. Every tour of every album always starts with the first two tracks on the current album.

    • @24fretsoffury
      @24fretsoffury 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Tobias spoke about this song and it’s meaning, I highly suggest looking it up. But the basics are - Hypatia was a female philosopher back in the Roman times. She was a brilliant scientist and mathematician, who taught philosophy and astronomy. She was horribly murdered by the early Christians, “who were like an insane cult at the time”. They then went on to burn the library of Alexandria, where we lost the most human knowledge in one fell swoop, and lost all early accounts.
      So this is drawing parallels between back then, and the recent attempted coup on the capital, and how “some” groups are heading for society.
      Also of course, “the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the Handmaid’s Tale” is super self explanatory if you have either read the books, or watched the show.

      It's obvious that the comments here would agree, but no. Ghost is great, but The Beatles revolutionized the music industry, composing many of the greatest songs ever made in the process, songs still listened to 60 years later and albums considered among the best of all time. Ghost is better than today's mainstream music and many bands, but not better than The Beatles.

    Interesting facts. I've just discovered that 'Hypatia', whose name is sung by the backing vocals (first heard at 1:25, but sung repeatedly later over that great guitar riff), was a female philosopher and mathematician in the 4th-5th century AD, who was murdered by Christians who dragged her into a building known as the Kaisarion!

    This song is about Hypatia who was philosopher, teacher, astronomer, etc who lived in the 300s in Alexandria, Egypt. She was killed by Christians who believed she was a witch. This is back when Christianity was still s cult. The song treats Christianity as a cult that inhibits human progress & human potential. The chorus brings us back to to the present (Long Ago, Yet Too Close To Forever) to drive the point home that it's now & forever. A tale as old as mam himself. It is a very political song. Just like in the times of Hypatia, people today are clashing with the side effects of human progress. We stand at a crossroads as society. Either we will become more than human through our technological might or we will regress to our ignorant & primitive selves. (People see human progress as a threat to themselves but it also threatens the artibers of our social order. So no matter how much bread & circuses you give the masses, those in power will lose it. Another faction will inherit that control. The moment we split the atom, we lost the ability to believe in nonsense.

And they could perform at the ceremony and we could get one of those popular "Mashup" deals where Ghost is performing with, or technically against someone like Kirk Franklin or Toby Mac and maybe the Newsboys?

    This song will hopefully send ghost into the stratosphere! Absolutely epic banger.

    I had heard that Joe Eliiot from Def Leppard digged this album. I can understand. Sounds like good rock. Little bit of Rush too. I'm so glad there is bands out there like this. Real rock will never die.

    Just bought this album! Ghost has come a LONG way since their debut of Opus Eponymous! Each album is a work of musical art! And I though Prequel was incredible......WOW! Impera is absolutely AMAZING!

    Cool!!! I love the 90's rock references. That "Mr. Big - Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" intro.
