Majesty Lyrics
A higher power underground
From seraph skies and now to chaos bound
He's sitting sacred and profound
In midst of sinners looking up to kiss his crown
Pathetic humans in despair
Defaced, deflowered, now to death devout
A fallen angel in his glare
In midst of sinners kneeling down before his clout
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within–you
[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus III]
This oasis is a poisoned well
Of rotting carcasses that clog the deep
A prince in exile here in hell
In midst of sinners flocking up like soulless sheep
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within–you
Ahahahaha...
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within–you
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within
Old One, Master
All beauty lies within–you
[Outro: Papa Emeritus III]
Your infernal majesty!
About
“Majesty” follows Ghost’s conceptual album chronology, by Meliora the Anti-Christ had been conceived in Opus Eponymous and born in Infestissumam and is now here. The narrator is worshiping the Devil and finds it funny yet pathetic that only now are normal people following suit, and in such numbers, it looks like a sea of people clogging around his Majesty, the old one, Satan.

Discussing “Majesty,” a Ghoul said:
Lyrically, it’s, on one hand, a hymn about the dark lord of the underworld. On the other hand, it paints a picture of a swarm of people, whom in a world of complete disaster, idolizes an authority that is clearly looking down upon them. How to love something that hates you back.
