“Umbra” is Latin meaning “shadow”. Umbra typically has an astronomical meaning referring to the area on the earth or moon experiencing the total phase of an eclipse i.e. the darkest shadow. The song places itself in the tension between concealment and disclosure.

Umbra Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the shadows, pale and cold
In the shadows, lay my soul
In the shadows, death becomes your lover
[Pre-Chorus]
The altar is lit with black candles
The darker, the better
So thrilling, it's killing you
[Chorus]
In the chapel of the holy one
In the presence of the chosen son
I see your light shine through
In the temple of the Godly scene
In the shadow of the Nazarene
I put my love in you
[Verse 2]
In the shadows, stripped of sin
In the shadows, deep within
In the shadows, I will make you my angel
[Pre-Chorus]
The altar (Altar) is lit with black candles
The darker (Darker), the better
So killing, it's thrilling me
[Chorus]
In the chapel of the holy one
In the presence of the chosen son
I see your light shine through
In the temple of the Godly scene
In the shadow of the Nazarene
I put my love in you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
In the chapel of the holy one
In the presence of the chosen son
I see your light shine through
In the temple of the Godly scene
In the shadow of the Nazarene
I put my love in you

What did Ghost say about "Umbra"?
Tobias:
The message is, basically, all you need is love! I felt there needed to be one coital song on the record, because at the end of the day, that’s one of the main driving forces that we all have.
