“Deus In Absentia,” which directly translates from Latin to “In the absence of [God],” shows the story of a modern-day man near his end. Whether he’s dying or near closure with a large piece of his life is unknown, but he meditates with the idea of coming to an end. Papa Emeritus III compared it to:...
Deus in Absentia Lyrics
[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus III]
In this your time of need
You're turning to the light
You had just begun to explore the dark
In the urban night
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (More)
[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus III]
You're so goddamn frail
Failing for a change
You just had to know all about the world
But you will never know
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
'Cause no one ever told you how
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (More)
[Bridge: Papa Emeritus III]
(Deus, Deus)
All of your imaginations are now running down your face
All of your imaginations are now running down your face
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Papa Emeritus III]
Oh, you are looking good
Bareback in disgrace
And you're doing fine worshiping your lord
Standing in his grace
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
'Cause no one ever told you how
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
Our funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (More)

Papa Emeritus III told Diablo Rock:
First, the structure of this song was written in a piano backstage at the Grand Sierra Resort Hotel, in Reno, Nevada, during our tour along with Mastodon and Opeth. The simple guitar riffs probably come from the fact that they were composed in “claviature”, which...
