Song Life Eternal
Released June 1, 2018

Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever?
I know the light grows darker down below
But in your eyes it's gone before you know
This is the moment of just letting go
She said, if you had life eternal
Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever?
We dance once more
I feel your hands are cold
Within your heart, a story to be told
This is the moment of just letting go
This is the moment of just letting go
Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever and ever?
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
If you had life eternal?

The history of this song was Tobia’s grieving the loss of his older brother who tragically died. He hasn’t gotten over it. Sometimes when he sings it on stage you see he gets emotional. Sometimes turns away from the crowd. This, I feel, makes the song beautiful because it’s from his heart. Thank you Tobias for sharing your sadness with us! So much talent

I want this song to be played at my wedding and my funeral

[mirathompson]

my husband played this song the day we got married. we have extreamly different taste in music (I'm more of a folk person) he doesn't know this but when i miss him I like to go back and listen to this lol he makes me want to live forever sometimes I love my man 💘

[judydean]

I am a 64 year old woman I Just Love This My Husband died in June I JUST LOVE THIS SONG

[stressedtwentyfourseven]

This song is so haunting and extremely beautiful. The first time I heard it, I had my headphones almost full volume and i had goosebumps and tears running down my face in the dark. I don't cry anymore to this song, but it still grabs me by the heart like the first time. I love this song to bits. Cirice, Dance Macabre, and Witch Image the same aswell.

[starryfairy_]

the harmonies in ghost songs just get me

[Time-and-Tide]

We just put our precious pug dog to sleep on Dec. 21, 2023. As I listen to this song and read the lyrics, the tears are flowing with a mixture of grief, love, & memories of the sweetest boy & companion I will ever know. 🐾😇🙏

My older brother just recently passed away. I will never recover from his death. I dedicate this song to him. R.I.P. Samuel Salazar

[redhotchilifan]

So fucking beautiful tobias is such an incredible singer and songwriter

[melissarandazzo]

Some people have said they think this is a love song. I myself, think that he has to be talking about death. No matter what this is about it’s still a beautiful song!!

[Smapti]

I love the way the line "If you had life eternal..." just sort of ends without finishing the thought, as if the speaker died while asking a question.

I like to think the rest would have been "...would it be worth it?"

[michaelmcnally]

Brought a tear to my eye while taking my morning shit

[beckyscheer]

This makes me cry every time I hear it. To have that kind of connection with another is what dreams are made of. Damn you Papa. It pulls the heart strings and ties them into knots.

[brendanjordan]

It's been a month since my mum died of bowel cancer and I'm sat here crying like a baby listening to this for the first time. But for the first time it actually feels like I'm properly letting go and it feels cathartic. I miss you mum. So much. X

Coming from a family of long time musicians, being an experienced guitar player, as well as an experienced sound reinforcement tech., I can truly say that these guys are one of the few true artists left out their that never fail to deliver what's expected. Absolutely amazing!

[fairenoughmedia]

My wife and I danced to this as our first dance at our wedding :)

[Twisted_Paradox]

This has to be one of the best looking lyric videos i've ever seen. Such smooth animation.

[totallylost]

This is a deep song..
Can anyone truly love eternally?
Can anyone long for another eternally?
I think this list needs to be checked off before any get married.

[TheDragonlover]

Beautifull song - that March, on the 22nd, it was mine and my husband's wedding song.

[juliegogola]

OKAY, satanist or NOT, Tobias is a great singer and songwriter. I do hope that GHOST continues to make great music, really, I've NEVER heard a bad song by GHOST ever.
