Absolution (Live) Lyrics by Ghost

Ceremony and Devotion

2017

[Verse 1]
Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun

[Verse 2]
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one

[Pre-Chorus]
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire

[Chorus]
Come on, Frisco!
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Uh

[Verse 3]
[?]Give it up bay[?]
Even now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire

[Chorus]
California
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution

[Refrain]
Alright, 'Frisco I wanna hear you scream, well that was a sucky scream, don’t you think?
I wanna hear all of you screaming now
Ladies and gentleman, scream!

[Guitar Solo]

San Francisco, are you ready?

[Outro]
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
