Cohen's orginal was darkest poetry, this is darkest rock.

This is one of the best Leonard Cohen covers ever, and that’s in some heavy company

this is literally my favourite song in the entire world. i fell in love with it while listening to nick cave's version. then i listened to the original and it made me fall in love with it even more. i can't even express how much this song means to me, so much that now, when i'm so much into Ghost i was afraid of playing it. i wanted to expect and get another masterpiece. and they did that song such justice. it suits Cardinal Copia on so many levels. my stomach literally hurts from emotions. Avalnache is and always will be the most underrated music masterpiece and i'm so happy that tobias also has seen the magnificence of this piece.

Now I finally know what this sprecial extra that Ghost seems to have sounds like: Villain themes from older Disney movies!

Leonard Cohen sounds evil. He's voice scares me when he sings this. Ghost sounds ominous but L.C. is just more powerful IMHO

Somehow the song gives me the impression that it is being sung from the perspective of a troll or dwarven king .Maybe even a dragon

This song should come first since it sounds like the perspective of god getting angry then ashes and rats comes on to show the black plague, punishment of god.

I like this cover, but I never understand "When I am NOT on a pedestal" instead of "When I am on a pedestal." The change both makes it seem like Forge didn't really understand the meaning of the lyrics, and ends up being contradictory to the rest of the verse. If one is NOT on a pedestal, there's no arguing whether one was raised there or not; if one is NOT on a pedestal, laws WOULD compel one to kneel, as they are above the laws, via said pedestal. If "[I myself am] the pedestal for this ugly hump at which you stare," you wouldn't have to state that you're not on the pedestal in the first place, because no one would be viewing you as though you're upon a pedestal. The song already has enough depth and complexity that without adding that single word, one could be viewing this as a conversation with God, a communication from God to man, a song from the perspective of Jesus, a song from the perspective of Satan, man struggling with his faith on his death bed, something not religious whatsoever, maybe where someone is dealing with their figurative dark side, etc. The addition of the word kind of muddies the entire verse, and I don't understand what the reason for the addition is.

I think this is the only Ghost song I don't really care for. Maybe the slight spoken word element to it. Idk, his vocals don't come off as strong.

Better leave this song for a real bass voice!

Easily the worst cover, did little to add to the OG other then a deeper voice. Instrumental was a complete missed opportunity. Feels like Tobias just wanted to give the people who just wanted to hear his voice something.
