See the Light


About “See the Light”

“See the Light” is a piano and synth driven power ballad that combines gentle worship with Holy Communion metaphors about rotting flesh. The song starts off slowly and narrates the story of a man (or maybe a personification of death and sin) which constantly sees sin. The song then explodes as it reaches the pre-chorus; it references the strength of the devil, how his power grows with hate, and plays around (mockingly) with allusions of Christian rituals.

Many fans have also mentioned the idea of this song being about ex-bandmembers who filed a lawsuit against Tobias Forge, and how despite their hate, he (and the remaining Ghost members) grew stronger.

  • What have the artists said about the song?

    Forge told NME:

    I think it’s a song that can apply to any situation in which you’re surrounded by enemies. Really, it’s a song about redistributing anger and negativity
