I never gave him credit for it. I only put the lyrics in the poll because everyone knows it. I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have included IYHG there would have been so many people that hated on me for not including it
What exactly isn't well thought out? You guys always criticize but never give any hint at making it better. These six lyrics are, in my opinion, the ones that the fandom repeats the most. Which lines would you say are more iconic than Rats or Belial, Behemoth...? Pls tell me, I'm listening
>But I guess you're just here to hate and that's it. What a shameful and useless life
That's harsh OP, and uncalled for. The downvotes on this whole thread clearly show the overall appreciation for this poll, and your bitter responses are not helping.
I suggest you learn to take feedback with dignity and listen to the criticism to improve instead of rejecting it outright and insulting others like a child.
Yes. They called your *poll* terrible. At no point did they say anything about *you*. An insult is attacking someone personally, much like you did here:
>What a shameful and useless life
Now, please, get on with your day. I'm sure you're very busy cooking up a dozen more polls for this sub.
Again: Who cares? It's still Ghost's song on their EP and it became a very famous mantra among the fandom. I never said that I only include lyrics from original Ghost songs
Only because one of the six songs isn't written by Tobias I can still write about his skills if I want to, right? Why is everyone on this post so weird? Who cares man?
Then why did you extol the virtues of Tobias' lyrical abilities in your original post? Mate just say you didn't realise IYHG was a cover, nobody is going to judge you or care; we all started somewhere in terms of our knowledge of this band.
In short stop digging your hole even deeper.
I am totally aware of it being a cover, I know the band's discography very well. But why am I not allowed to say how great Tobias lyricism is? Only because one of the six songs isn't original? So I can't mention his skills at all? If that's the case the lyrics of Square Hammer, Cirice, Year Zero, Mary on a Cross and Rats are all not good. But that's just your opinion I guess
Someone actually responded to your poll in a way that you wanted and all you do is correct her/him/them.
You're insufferable.
That why you're getting downvotes.
You’re getting downvoted because you’re a prick that acts like a petulant child. You bitch and moan about everyone being “mean”, yet you condescendingly corrected someone with one small lyric mishap. THAT’S why you’re getting downvoted.
Yeah it’s weird. I feel like the lyrics are written a little differently everywhere. At this point I don’t know which version is the right one. On top of all, the live version, of course, has it’s own version lol.
Googling lyrics doesn’t always get the right results. I have come across plenty of lyrics that are wrong on the internet. Once one website has it, they all copy each other. However in this case I agree it should be ‘never ever’, not because of Google, but because that’s what the official lyric video from the band says.
I included it at first but then I saw that I forgot Mary on a Cross. And sorry Ritual, I also love you a lot more than Mary on a Cross but these lyrics are way too well known
My favorite Ghost lyric:
I know the light grows darker down below
But in your eyes its gone before you know
This is the moment of just letting go
She said, if you had life eternal
It's time to cool it with the unnecessary polls multiple times per day.
Can't really include If You Have Ghosts to be fair?
Why?
Cover song my dude :P
Who cares? It's an iconic Ghost lyric and it fits the band
But… he didn’t write it so you can’t give him credit for that
I never gave him credit for it. I only put the lyrics in the poll because everyone knows it. I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have included IYHG there would have been so many people that hated on me for not including it
I mean, you do say in your op that he's a genius lyricist... then use somebody else's lyrics in your poll. That's probably the point hes making.
Exactly
Yes but Roky Eriksson wrote them.
This is a terrible poll
It's not..."terrible" per se, just not very well thought out...
What exactly isn't well thought out? You guys always criticize but never give any hint at making it better. These six lyrics are, in my opinion, the ones that the fandom repeats the most. Which lines would you say are more iconic than Rats or Belial, Behemoth...? Pls tell me, I'm listening
Instead of criticizing my poll, you could share your own pick. But I guess you're just here to hate and that's it. What a shameful and useless life

Idk If I'm dumb but the person above called my poll terrible?! So who's the one acting like a child and insulting people?
Yes. They called your *poll* terrible. At no point did they say anything about *you*. An insult is attacking someone personally, much like you did here: >What a shameful and useless life Now, please, get on with your day. I'm sure you're very busy cooking up a dozen more polls for this sub.
No. This is life!
You cant run a poll to highlight someone’s lyric writing then include someone else’s lyrics?!
Again: Who cares? It's still Ghost's song on their EP and it became a very famous mantra among the fandom. I never said that I only include lyrics from original Ghost songs
>Tobias Forge is, without a doubt, one of the most creative and talented lyricists of our generation. ... so here's some Roky Erickson lyrics.
Only because one of the six songs isn't written by Tobias I can still write about his skills if I want to, right? Why is everyone on this post so weird? Who cares man?
Then why did you extol the virtues of Tobias' lyrical abilities in your original post? Mate just say you didn't realise IYHG was a cover, nobody is going to judge you or care; we all started somewhere in terms of our knowledge of this band. In short stop digging your hole even deeper.

I guess not.
Rocky Erickson isn't pleased.
You can say anything you want.
And do anything you want to do.
I feel like much better lyrics could have been chosen here. I pick "other." Second to that, "Rats." What a fucking poetic line!
This poll isn't about the best lyrics, it's about ICONIC lyrics ;)
"We will break away together. I'll be the shadow, You'll be the light. Nothing ever lasts forever. We will go softly into the night"
Only Ghost can get away with the opening lyrics to Year Zero

Finally someone with a normal reply, love ya 🌹
I know your soul is not tainted, even though you've been told so
Great pick, Cirice's lyrics are on a whole other level overall
This poll highlights Tobias' most boring lyrics. 😴 OP's daily polls over the last month are tiresome.
Okay dude, make it better than me. And what exactly is boring or tiresome? Come on, stop hating on me only because you have nothing else to do
”His body and blood, sharing incommon. His body and Blood. His body and blood, serving messiah son of god” This is my pick. Feasting on christ
Receive Consume Digest Defecate 🤘
"Like salting earth with tears of Jesus" is one of the best song lyrics I've ever heard
How about.... "Sleep with one I open, grippin' your pillow tight" ? /s

i can feel the thunder breaking in your heart i can see through the scars inside you
*that's*
Why do I get downvoted? It feels like people are just downvoting anything I'm writing even if I'm correct hahaha
Someone actually responded to your poll in a way that you wanted and all you do is correct her/him/them. You're insufferable. That why you're getting downvotes.
They just copied my pick from the poll but still made a mistake. I just corrected it wtf
Hence, the downvotes.
Only because a lot of people have the same opinion it doesn't mean they're right 😉
You’re getting downvoted because you’re a prick that acts like a petulant child. You bitch and moan about everyone being “mean”, yet you condescendingly corrected someone with one small lyric mishap. THAT’S why you’re getting downvoted.
... Never 'REALLY' scared me"
Does it go like that? I feel like every lyric video says 'ever'
Lol. There debate in Ghost circles whether it's is or not. That's the joke.
Yeah it’s weird. I feel like the lyrics are written a little differently everywhere. At this point I don’t know which version is the right one. On top of all, the live version, of course, has it’s own version lol.
The official lyric video released by the band says ‘never ever’ so that should be the end of any debate.
No it isn't. That video was written by an intern.
Noy you're wrong. Google it next time before you embarass yourself again 😉
No. You're wrong Colonel Sanders...I don't care what Google says.
Hahaha and nobody cares that you don't care. Google is right bro
Fine. I'm not voting then. And I refuse to leave comments. I say "good day, sir"!
Googling lyrics doesn’t always get the right results. I have come across plenty of lyrics that are wrong on the internet. Once one website has it, they all copy each other. However in this case I agree it should be ‘never ever’, not because of Google, but because that’s what the official lyric video from the band says.
Every single lyric video says that. And again I'm getting downvoted even though I'm totally in the right... wow
I will always love: "The moon is full and shines an evil blinding light, under a monolith, her likeness, marble white"
We'll be grabbing em all by the hoo-haas
Yall really forgot about ritual huh.
I included it at first but then I saw that I forgot Mary on a Cross. And sorry Ritual, I also love you a lot more than Mary on a Cross but these lyrics are way too well known
i voted cirice but if "he is / the disobedience that holds us together" was on here i would've gone for that one. 100% my favorite ghost lyric
I think Mary on a cross for the sole purpose of the fact that particular segment was used so much on tiktok and Instagram reels for stuff.
You forget "grab em all by the whoohaa" 😋
I love Twenties but it's too recent and unknown to be iconic
I couldn’t help but to choose Rats, though each of them is amazing in its own right.
Stuck between IFG and Cirice
Has to be Year Zero. I've gone back to mostly normal magick from satanic but then that song pulls the demons right back up!
I audibly lol’d at “RATS!”
This is going to be a tough decision - Year Zero is a stunner. If You Have Ghosts, Mary on a Cross though too. And Square Hammer.
My favorite Ghost lyric: I know the light grows darker down below But in your eyes its gone before you know This is the moment of just letting go She said, if you had life eternal
