Deus Culpa

Theme

A cryptic reversed instrumental that sets the tone for Opus Eponymous. The track features 'Gläns över sjö och strand,' an old Swedish church psalm, reversed and played on harmonium. The Latin title translates to 'God's Fault,' a phrase suggesting 'In the absence of God, blame God.' This inverted hymn serves as the album's dark gateway, inverting the sacred into the profane and establishing the theological inversion that defines Ghost's entire project.
