Prompting the ascension of Papa V Perpetua, GHOST started a livestream of a billboard in Las Vegas on youtube and called it ‘Fumatacast,’ and eventually smoke started being emitted from the billboard, marking the rise of Papa V Perpetua.
On March 5th, 2025, the music video for Satanized was release...
[Verse 1]
There is something inside me
And they don't know if there is a cure
A demonic possession
Unlike any before
It's a sickening heartache
And it's slowly tormenting my soul
I've invested my prayers
Into making me whole
[Pre-Chorus]
I should have known
Not to give in
I should have known
Not to give in
[Chorus]
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I'm victimized
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
[Interlude]
An nescitis quoniam membra vestra
Templum sunt Spiritus Sancti
Qui in vobis est
Quem habetis a Deo?
Et non estis vestri
[Verse 2]
Through a life of devotion
I've been quelling my urges to burst
I've been fighting the notion
To, by love, be coerced
[Pre-Chorus]
I should have known
Not to give in
I should have known
Not to give in
[Chorus]
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I'm paralyzed
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Like a deadly affliction
That is twisting and bending my core
I have begged God for the remedy
But I'm no longer sure
[Pre-Chorus]
I should have known
Not to give in
I should have known
Not to give in
[Chorus]
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I'm laicized
Blasphemy, heresy
Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know
I'm satanized
From the bottom of my heart I know
I'm satanized
From the bottom of my heart I know
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
I'm satanized
Satanized was written by Tobias Forge & Salem Al Fakir & Vincent Pontare.
Satanized was produced by Gene Walker.
The meaning of “Satanized” by Ghost is in line with what has been seen in some covers made by Ghost such as Crucified, It’s a Sin or even Missionary Man. There is a particular focus on religious conflict, guilt, and the tension between sin and salvation. Religious imagery, Biblical references, drama...
Tobias:
“Satanized” is a song about love – not being possessed by a demon, but the idea of coming off as being possessed by a demon because you’re in love. So it felt like that was going to suit the record really well.

Tobias:
It’s funny because as I was making the record, I...
