The second track on Ghost’s Meliora, “From the Pinnacle [heaven] to the Pit [hell]” tells the story of Satan’s exile from heaven in the Bible. Unsurprisingly, Ghost seems more sympathetic to Satan than the Bible is. Lucifer’s fall is a metaphor for humanity’s fall from reason into discord.
From the Pinnacle to the Pit Lyrics
[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus III]
You have the power
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus III]
You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
[Verse 3: Papa Emeritus III]
In your empire
They stare in frown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown

[Verse 4: Papa Emeritus III]

You stand your ground
The orb disfigured

From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown

Lyrically, it is about the classic tale of Icarus and Lucifer to...
