GHOST SHIP
(Music and Lyrics: Matt Smith)

Messenger of ages
Carried on the wings of second birth
Unto the silent secrets of the earth
Justice generation
Anthem for the sense of purpose we lost
We rise above and count the cost
We are the ones the others left behind
Breath of life from the four winds
Watch these bones of death now march again

Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world
Let’s go!

Cast off for the journey
Join us as we sail the open seas
Unto the great adventure—follow Me
All the world’s unwanted
Come aboard and leave your darkness behind
Desperate to count, redeem the time
We are the ghosts awakened to the light
Forged and branded in His name
Ancient workmanship before ordained

Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There’s revolution in the air)
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world

Solo: Val

Pay the piper
Here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There’s revolution in the air)
Slay the viper
Come follow, even if you’re ordinary
There’s a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor
All aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world
Let’s go!

Theocracy online

[elviejomencho]

Theocracy is the best expression to be a metalhead that likes a nice band and still believes in God.

[ahwork]

🔥🔥Theocracy is the most underrated Christian Metal band according to many of us fans . They deserve a lot more and big .. Talent and elements in their songs are immense.. the mainline bands dont even come close 🔥

[andrewwright]

I am so in love with this song it's ridiculous. His voice is like crystal in a genre of metal, the chorus keeps you tumbling forward with so much passion, and the overarching metaphor of the song is so perfect.

[robweddle]

AWESOME. There are many Christian hard rock/heavy metal bands who I enjoy listening to, but the ones who I feel I can worship along with, who literally bless me SPIRITUALLY, is a very short list indeed. For me, that list is Disciple, Grave Declaration and Theocracy. Their music is bathed in prayer; you can feel it. May God continue to bless their ministry and music, and may the Holy Spirit touch millions of hurting souls.

[laylasadventures]

I finally found some good Christian metal! I'm so happy!

[brendonfleetwood]

Hands down, my favorite Christian metal/rock band of the 21st century. Have a blessed day all🙏🙏

[wesdyck]

Love the theme of the "Capitan" inviting his misfits to a life of adventure on the open seas! To shake the world!As usual the music is top notch.Thank God we have Theocracy! As a Christ follower, I don't have to compromise my love of Metal and Christ illuminating lyrics!

[nickhayes]

I recently discovered Theocracy. I'd been missing some great melodic power metal since switching over to only listening to Christian music. So glad to have found them through Matt's interview on The Dice Steeple podcast. They have been such an encouragement through some recent tough times.

No earthly human could have wrote the lyrics to the song " I am" . he was Gifted from the Ghost ship.

[andybidwell]

Was in a battle mood, needed this. Praise the Lord.

[lynchsmith]

This band is gonna get big. Just found them. They are amazing. Especially the vocalist.

[simbametallum]

I never thought I would actually say this... but THANK YOU Youtube ads... I played another music video and this came out as an ad but because how badass it starts I didn't skip it and let the whole thing play... now I have a new band to listen to \m/ xD

[danielstryhanyn]

One of my favorite Christian metal bands. His voice!!!

[sarahchristine]

Is it weird that I feel really proud of them? I've listened to all their full albums, and they were great back then! But to see how far they've come... dang. Slay.

[andyhaverland]

God reserves the best stuff for Himself... Love it!

[metalanthology]

Theocracy can't do wrong, what a chorus and the atmosphere during the solo section, I dig that!

[fireheart_]

This album is extremely high quality, no filler songs, NONE! So, so melodic that even my 3 year old can't stop singing the Call to Arms chorus throughout the day, lol.

[mythical_pizza]

One of the very, very, very few Christian bands to earn a spot on my playlists. These guys understand music. I may not be a member of the Church anymore but it absolutely fills me with joy to find a band like this, as so very few Gospel bands write actually good music (a majority sound like lovesong mush to me). I need something I can jam out to.

[GustavoUNQ]

OH MY!!! Theocracy is awesome!! What a song, man!! Can't stop to listen it!! Delicious music for my ears!! God bless y'all!

[jcampdpeter]

this right here is what the world had been waiting for! love from Bangalore, India!
