"MARY ON A CROSS (You go down just like Holy Mary)" by Ghost | Cover by Justine M. 

😳🤯 DAMN you're vocals are really pretty Honestly this song hits a lot harder with lesbianism in mind. "I will tickle you internally, and I see nothing wrong with that" ^ god tier lyrics for allo sapphics. Acceptance and pride of ones sexuality. "You're beauty never really scared me" ^ overcoming the anxiety of feeling predatory for simply looking at other women by accepting that your feelings are ok and normal. This song makes me emotional. Its about smoking the devils lettuce. It's about 69ing. It's about the first band you made with your friends. It's about happier times but also loving the present and what you have now. Its about head so good you see god (or satan in the case of ghost). I love songs that contain multitudes.

Imagine the reaction of a bunch of Puritans trying to burn a witch at a stake and the fire starts making out with her instead.

MY OCS HAVE NAMES NOW! The nun is named Magdalena, and the demon is named Judith.

The picture is just... I love this art

I love how deep the lyrics can be taken when it comes to a song that, on the surface, is about weed and sex. Really shows the power of clever lyricism, in my opinion.

I swear to God I've been singing "Marianna" ever since I heard the song.

you're literally so iconic for dedicating an entire song to your ocs, that's being SO motivated by your brain thoughts you have to use your raw unfiltered talent to show your love for them. Not to mention but literally making a playlist FOR said characters and then MAKING TWO COVERS FOR THEM!!! Me and my buddy feel SO seen with dedicating music to characters who are lesbians / sapphic in general. I don't know if you take requests, but if you ever do more lesbian / sapphic covers, you should do "Get This Right" from Frozen 2!

THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!! YOUR HARMONIES ARE TOP TIER ALWAYS!!!!

hello, as a long-repressed sapphic, this gives me strength. i write sometimes, i really, really love this song, this cover, all of it! its helped me so much working on my own things that inspiration took hold and i just couldnt help myself. She pulled another slow draft of air into her lungs, the staler monastery atmosphere sitting about her like some great larger thing, its weight on her shoulders. Magdalena stared, gaze passing silently through shards of light that bled from the window, dust fluttering about as motes fell from the ceiling. A great fire burned through her, an inferno consuming flesh and bone and thought in its screaming tide, licking at the porcelain skin of her face and hands. She sat unmoved, but the feelings were irrepressible, asking her, begging her to act on them. Magdalena looked down, eyes focused on the irregular bumps of cut stone, almost feeling a kinship to one brick that sat at an angle, cement having filled its gap a smidge too deep, leaving it to sit out of line with the rest. A wry smile, eyes fluttering back to her hands as she shook her head. Magdalena pulled her hands together with every touch of effort that she had, pressing them together before her fingers interlaced into a two-handed fist. She brought them up, setting her nose to the knuckle as she took another deep breath. "Lord, forgive me of all my sins. I confess everything, I believe with my heart and with undeniable faith. I open the door of my heart to thou, come and save me. Wash my soul clean, write my name in your book of life. Amen." She whispered, but she did not look up, the last word leaving her lips almost begrudgingly as her head hung and her hands fell apart. She felt nothing above her, nothing divine, a silence. Of course, it was a test of her faith, surely. It was a question of her strength, her place, her will, but she felt herself faltering with every breath, soft fingertips and long, midnight hair pervasive in her thoughts. Inescapable. The longing for her warmth, her smile, her beautifully sculpted eyes that swirled with an enticing danger, the gentler swoops of her figure, the comforting feel of gentle and understanding arms about her waist... She shook her head, trying to clear it of the growing desire that left a mounting warmth in her chest. It was unacceptable, blasphemous, her faith had been solid for decades, why now did she question it? Why now did she find herself falling into a heretical love?

The first time i heard this song i thought It was saying "mariana" instead of "mary on a cross" perfect cover btw 🛐

A) favorite Ghost song, B) that key change brought a smile on my face….this was fantastic!

THE SINGING? THE ART? THE SINGING?? 🛐

"Your beauty never ever scared me" I think this part is so cute and beautiful at the same time... 💞

THIS IS SUCH A BOP, THIS SONG IS ALREADY SO F*CKING GOOD, BUT THIS COVER MADE IT EVEN BETTER ❣️

Wait... These lyrics work so much better as a Sapphic song 🥺

Great work as always, Justine! Ghost is fucking amazing! Seriously, anyone who doesn't know them should really give them a chance, all theirs songs are bops! Even if their style or genre of heavy metal doesn't appeal to you, trust me when I say they will surprise you.

This nearly brought a tear to my eye because me and friend had the idea that our OCs made a cover of this song that sounded just like this about a month ago.

All of this from the cover art and the singing, god it just gave me chills. I really love everything about it

Your clean vocals in 2:41 are soooo gooood

I. Need. More. Ghost covers!!! **vibrates in obsessed fangirl** /j

I’m a huge Ghost fan, since the first album and Mary On A Cross is one of those iconic songs that’s hard to replicate, but you did an awesome job. LOVE IT

As a sapphic with religious trauma, this hits me so hard, i love it ❤ i love your music

Gay nun energy

I absolutely adore this you’re voice gives me chills all the way down ahhhh

Where you sing is very similar to where I am comfortable singing which always makes your covers of songs I already know and like my new go to's for listening. Absolutely love them!

Whenever I hear this song I picture two teens who live in a god fearing small town. They frequently would sneak out too a nearby city to have fun and really be themselves. Then one gets scared of fully leaving their town for good and they convinces them by professing their love. Which makes it work even more when they’re gay.

Bro, I love this song, I'm so glad you covered it! It fits so well with your voice! (I may actually prefer this over the original)

We were speeding together Down the dark avenues But besides of the stardom All we got was blues But through all of that sorrow We were 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 the dues But besides of the glamour All we got was bruised But through all of that sorrow We were 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 It was just for fools Now through all of this 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 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

Holy sh*t this is amazing!!! I’m glad Ghost is getting more recognition and also awesome cover!!!

Awesome cover and artwork! You've got a strong and beautiful voice. Planning to look up your OCs' playlist after work--love that kind of stuff! Lately, I've been making playlists for all my main characters in the new-adult magical-girl novel I'm writing. I look forward to more songs about the Nun and Siren! Fantastic work as always!

I ASCENDED!!!!!!!!!!! i'm crying tears of joy for no reason man the vocals
