Zenith Lyrics

We conquered the magic
We counted the stars
Deciphered the clockwork
Enacted this farce

Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night

Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your Zenith fades into eternity

Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free

A genesis captured
Ignited by truth
A martyr disraptured
A vision too soon

Devoured by shadows
We cling to the light
Deluded by wisdom
The bringer of night

Now and for always
A perpetual rise
A fall of illusion
Your Zenith fades into eternity

Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free

Saecula Saeculorum

Time will soon be gone
Night will turn to dawn
Winds come on strong
So help you god
Come unleashed
You're set free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Zenith lyrics by Ghost

This one song, for me, contains everything you need to hear to be informed of just what Ghost are about. It is dark, yet with sparkling brightness throughout. Those driving guitars rock with the best from "Meliora" and the spooky synth is hypnotizing. Throw in that heavenly male choir chant and we are in a space/time twist of fate that truly travelled the stars.
