“He Is” of Ghost’s 2017 EP features a duet between Papa Emeritus III and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.
Possessing a strikingly identical structure and chord progression to many contemporary Christian praise and worship ballads, one would barely be able to point out the song is not quite what it see...
[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus III]
We're standing here by the abyss
And the world is in flames
Two star crossed lovers reaching out
To the beast with many names
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
He is
He's the shining and the light
Without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, he is spite
He's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
[Verse 2: Alison Mosshart]
We're hiding here inside a dream
And all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning star
Will lead the way into the void
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III & Alison Mosshart]
He is
He's the shining and the light
Without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, he is spite
He's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
[Solo]
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III & Alison Mosshart]
He is
He's the shining and the light
Without whom I cannot see
And He is
Insurrection, he is spite
He's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light
Without whom I cannot see
And He is
The disobedience
That holds us together
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
And we are falling
Over the precipice
