I just realized that the lyrics changed as well.

In the original Iron Maiden song, the person singing uses "you" like: You're the Phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare

But Tobias uses "I", like: I'm the Phantom of the opera, I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare.

That's clever and I love it

[Darth.Shredder]

The beauty of Ghost covers is that they always sound like a Ghost song while managing to also still sound like the original.

[opeepee]

Nobody is talking about the fact that Tobias changed the perspective of the song in the lyrics from being the prey of the phantom to THE phantom himself!! This is the real genius about this cover!!!

Lyrics:

I've been looking so long for you
Now you won't get away from my grasp
I've lived so long in hiding
In hiding behind that false mask
And I know that you know
That I ain't got long now to last
My looks and my feelings
Are just the remains of my past.

I'm standing in the wings there
I wait for the curtain to fall
In knowing the terror and holding
I have on you all
Yeah, you know that I'm going to scratch you
And maim you and maul
And you know you're helpless
From my mesmerizing catcall.

Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you
Come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way.

You're running and hiding
In dreams, I'm always there
I'm the phantom of the opera
I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare
I damaged your mind and your soul
It just floats through the air
I haunt you, I taunt you
I torture you back at my lair.

The guitars and bass tone are so good on this. I’m floored

[xXJohnFKennedyXx]

I love Tobias forge so much, I wish Swedish people were real

[KeSa-lxsz]

Tobias Forge knows exactly what buttons to push. He has made Ghost one of the biggest rock bands around because of brilliant music, commercial know-how and everybody who has seen Ghost live, knows the man has 10 tons of charisma. The sky is the limit

[Grimcheshirecat]

It takes guts to cover this. I am absolutely floored.

[Motocoupemusic]

Imagine being a kid having never heard this tune. It would blow your mind and then you’d find the original and it’ll blow it all over again. Great work ghost keeping the game going 🤘😎

[memoriam.victoriam]

no but the idea of seeing them do this live??? the intro ALONE would immediately make me start ascending

[countgrishnackh]

It takes balls to cover Maiden. You can tell Tobias is a music fan first and foremost, because he knows that ANY cover of maiden will be scrutinized extremely close and that it has to be done RIGHT.

I can’t find fault whatsoever in this version. Well done. Well done.

[lhzz]

This was nominated in the Grammy’s for best metal performance!!!

[slanginnoodles]

Can't wait to listen to this at unreasonable volume in my car. Iron Maiden was my first concert when I was 16

[rbarbetta]

45 year old, life-long Maiden fan here. I used to go to the record store and buy their records, tapes and posters when I was a little kid. Like 8 years old... Their album art is what originally captured me. I've been a Ghost fan for years now and am so happy to hear this cover. Absolutely amazing! Thank you for making this!

[whitesoxfan]

The fact they made the bass heightened in this makes this a MASSIVE respect to Steve Harris...Nothing but respect

[Hannibalkakihara]

This is some of the most amazing visuals ive ever seen. Their entire image is beyond mesmerizing

[thundervisionmt]

Bonus points for how the “hiding behind that false mask” line relates to Tobias in Ghost personally. So damn epic

[Sho_Ishto]

I’ve gotta say with all the bad going on in the world, I’m so happy to have Ghost in my life. One of the few things lately that puts a genuine smile on my face and lifts my dead spirits. I can’t wait to see them in my home town of Los Angeles in September. Ghost, please never stop sharing your vision with us!

[stevenevin]

This cover will be always a gem for the new generation rock lovers, The covers like these keeps the vintage rock music alive although they are special in their own aesthetics..

I actually first discovered Ghost when they opened for Iron Maiden. I hadn't heard of them before and when I did hear them for the first time in concert I fell in love with their music. So amazing and I will love them forever! 🥰😀👻❤️
