Ghost have just released the second song from their new EP, Seven Inches of Satanic Panic. Following the evil flower child anthem “Kiss the Go-Goat,” Ghost have continued their ‘60s lean with “Mary on a Cross.”

Friday the 13th can’t be properly celebrated without a touch of malevolence. In the lore of Ghost, both “Kiss the Go-Goat” and “Mary on a Cross” are sung by Papa Nihil, who experienced his own glory days five decades ago.

“Mary on a Cross” continues Ghost’s litany of bubblegum blasphemy, infiltrating the minds of listeners through music that’s sweet to the ear and corrosive to the soul. Naturally, we’re on board, as are Ghost’s legions of fans, who have been rabid for the group’s new 7”.

Read the lyrics to “Mary on a Cross” and watch the music video below.

We were speeding together

Down the dark avenues

But besides all the stardom

All we got was blues

But through all the sorrow

We've been riding high

And the truth of the matter is

I never let you go, let you go We were scanning the cities

Rocking to pay their dues

But besides all the glamor

All we got was bruised

But through all the sorrow

We've been riding high

And the truth of the matter is

I never let you go, let you go You go down just like Holy Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Not just another bloody Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

If you choose to run away with me

I will tickle you internally

And I see nothing wrong with that We were searching for reasons

To play by the rules

But we quickly found out

It was just for fools

Now through all the sorrow

We'll be riding high

And the truth of the matter is

I never let you go, let you go You go down just like Holy Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Not just another bloody Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a... You go down just like Holy Mary

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Your beauty never, ever scared me

Mary on a, Mary on a cross

If you choose to run away with me

I will tickle you internally

And I see nothing wrong with that (Mary on a, Mary on a cross)

Nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)

Nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)

(Mary on a) Mary on a cross
