Excelsis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It is the end of your penitence
It is the end of your sadness and pain
It's the return to your innocence
It is the end of a life grieved in vain
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody leaves one day (Ah-ah)
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will too, I will too
[Chorus]
Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will too, I will too
Excel (Ah)
Excel (Ah)
[Verse 2]
There is still time for deliverance
There is still time to make peace with your friend
And to return to where there's a chance
There is still time to love once again
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody leaves one day (Ah-ah)
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will too, I will too
[Chorus]
Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will too, I will too
Excel (Ah)
Excel (Ah)
[Bridge]
As levees are breaking
A flood comes
Washes away all the rubble
Past indiscretions and stalemates
We are all sailing to the gates
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody leaves one day (Ah-ah)
I know it hurts
Everybody goes away
You will too, I will too
[Chorus]
Come with me to the rainbow's end
Come with me to the Holy Land
Come with me
You will too, I will too
Excel (Ah)
Excel (Ah)
Excel (Ah)
Excel (Ah)
[Outro]
This is the end of the avenue
I am afraid of eternity too

What did Ghost say about "Excelsis"?
Tobias:
The overall messaging, even though it’s very death-heavy, is simply that if you are listening to this, you are alive, and you should live life as effectively as possible, because death is inevitable.
