Theme
The album's five-minute gateway into the dystopian city of Meliora, featuring Papa Emeritus III preaching about the absence of God. 'Spirit' functions as an invocation—a dark prayer over a landscape where divinity has abandoned humanity. It's an appreciation of the Satanic empire Papa has come to rule, establishing the religious void that defines the album's atmosphere and thematic trajectory.
Lyrics
Throw yourself
Into the vessel of possibilities
Your green muse
The apparatus for soul mobility
A gateway to secrecy
Spirit Absinthe
Spirit Absinthe
Seven seals
Devilish creatures trumpets the end of time
Cloven Hooves
Enticing wormwood catapulting your mind
Into the jaws of death
Spirit Absinthe
Spirit Absinthe
There is no return
From this excursion of possibilities
You are at the seventh gate
Spirit Absinthe
Spirit Absinthe
"Let none of this Earth inherit
This vision of my spirit"
[Edgar Allan Poe]
