Theme
A loyal cover of Echo & The Bunnymen's post-punk classic, Ghost maintains the original's solemn and introspective textures while introducing darker guitar lines to align with their theatrical aesthetic. The song's melancholic exploration of solitude and inner darkness resonates with Ghost's overall sonic identity, transforming a gothic post-punk gem into a seamless part of their own mythology.
Lyrics
In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood
In our world of wire
Ignite our dreams of starry skies
And you and me
As realised our bigger themes
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Do or die
What's done is done
True beauty lies
On the blue horizon
Who or why
What's one is one
In pure disguise
Of vulgar sons
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Whatever burns burns eternally
So take me in turns internally
When I'm on fire
My body will be
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood
In our world of wire
Ignite our dreams of starry skies
And you and me
As realised our bigger themes
Oh, take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
