What Does The Song Ghost Mary On A Cross Mean (Lyrics) Mp3 Download Fakaza Song

From the official reports of the band’s own mythology, Mary On A Cross dates back to decades ago in 1969, then an early version of Ghost dipped its fingers in the psychedelic waves of the dying years. Though being staged by a swaggering, handsome clergyman known as Papa Nihil, this groovy 60s ritual of Ghost failed to set the whole planet on fire. It was just when Papa Nihil made his 21st Century debut with the band – stating  himself as the Papa Emeritus Zero – that Mary On A Cross and another song, Kiss The Go-Goat, were resurrected and dropped as the 2019 single Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic.

The chorus is the apotheosis of the song’s many allusions:

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

There are a few lines in the lyrics of Mary on a Cross that appears back sometimes:

But through all the sorrow, we’ve been riding high
And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

We were speeding together down the dark avenues
But besides all the stardom, all we got was blues

We were scanning the cities, rocking to pay their dues
But besides all the glamour, all we got was bruised

We were searching for reasons to play by the rules
But we quickly found out it was just for fools

On another interpretation, also this side of the chorus has different meaning:

Not just another bloody Mary

We were speeding together down the dark avenues
But besides all the stardom, all we got was blues
But through all the sorrow, we’ve been riding high
And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go
We were scanning the cities, rocking to pay their dues
But besides all the glamour, all we got was bruised
But through all the sorrow, we’ve been riding high
And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

We were searching for reasons to play by the rules
But we quickly found out it was just for fools
Now through all the sorrow, we’ll be riding high
And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a…

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Your beauty never ever scared me, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross) Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross) Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
(Mary on a) Mary on a cross
