Deus in Absentia and Terzo.

You know, I really like Deus in Absentia, It's a great song. It's a shame that Terzo only sang it twice... But... What if there is something more behind that?

What if it's actually Terzo's ballad upon his retirement?

One thing I like is that the song addresses the moral and spiritual decay of humanity, as well as the absence of God or a higher power in times of crisis or corruption.

The lyrics explore themes of perdition, chaos, and the inclination toward evil or sin, reflecting a world where people have abandoned faith or been forgotten by the divine. Musically, I LOVE it; the song has a grandiose and dark atmosphere, with choruses that give it an almost apocalyptic tone.

In the context of Ghost, they use these themes to explore the darker aspects of religion, faith, and humanity, which is recurring in their compositions, blending social criticism with an almost satirical narrative about the power of religious institutions.

In summary, the song is about the void left by the absence of divine guidance in a corrupt and chaotic world.

As I said before: Terzo only sang it twice. Once at a concert in Sweden and then the concert right after that, which was the following day.

Which concert was that?

The concert where he was dragged off the stage.

It’s interesting that Terzo only performed it at his last two concerts, as this could symbolize something deeper within Ghost's narrative.

Terzo, in his character, represents a figure of decadent power, a charismatic leader who is ultimately replaced due to his downfall. Deus in Absentia, a song about the absence of the divine and moral corruption, could be seen as a sort of swan song for Terzo, marking the end of his reign. The fact that he only performed it in those final concerts suggests a symbolic closure, both for the character and for the era he represented.

Terzo, with his extravagant and worldly character, is replaced by Copia, reinforcing the idea that his time has ended, and the song acts as a final commentary on the decadence and fall of his power. Narratively, it could be a reflection of the death or "absence" of his papal figure, aligning perfectly with the concept of the song, as if Terzo himself embodied that absent divine figure in his farewell.

As if Terzo himself was giving a ballad to the to the loss of his power.

31 days of Ghost, part 5.

Favourite Song rom Meilora.

Deus in Absentia

"The world is on fire, and you are here to stay and burn with me."

I completely effed up the original line art for the background... so replaced it with a quick digitally painted one, which resulted in me colouring Terzo too...

IDK why I gave Terzo a tail and wings, it just seemed to fit with the drawing. I did try horns too but I couldn't get a shape I was happy with.

Day 5 | Favourite Song(s) From Meliora

>> HE IS << >> DEUS IN ABSENTIA << >> CIRICE << >> MUMMY DUST << A/N: I've been such a cheater on this one, but I could not choose, all four of the above Meliora songs are integral to my soul. You're lucky I didn't put Majesty, Absolution, Spirit and From The Pinnacle To The Pit in there too!

deus in absentia bass because it's underrated

[faolanrune]

Did this a month or two ago, and I plan to do more like it. From the Pinnacle to the Pit actually inspired the idea to make “album covers” inspired by individual songs. Kaisarion is next on the list but I’ll work on it either if I take a break from the current piece or after I finish it.
