Theme
Possibly Ghost's heaviest song to date, 'Mummy Dust' is a brutal critique of capitalist greed where corporations rule for profit. The track emphasizes that money is futile, wrong, and defiles all—a harsh reminder within Meliora's dystopian landscape that material wealth has replaced spiritual meaning. The title suggests decay and the erosion of values into nothing.
Lyrics
I was carried on a wolf’s back
Here to corrupt humanity
I will pummel it with opulence
With corpulence and greed
In god you trust
My mummy dust
My mummy dust
Your cavalier of crapulence
To this feast of rapacity
I will bury you in treasures
Just to feed your incapacity
In god you trust
My mummy dust
My mummy dust
You are the possessée of avarice
I am the ruler of the earth
I will smother you in riches
Until you choke on sordid mirth
You are summoned in cupidity
Purulence and lust
I am the magnet for stupidity
Divine you feel my thrust
In god you trust
My mummy dust
My mummy dust
[The Collective sings]
In god you trust
