@aydenburris86312 жыл бұрын
I love the references in this song, being the closer of the album it's about the empire finally fading away, but it uses Jack the Ripper as a metaphor of the perversions of a leader twisting and bending an empires recourses into his will, and eventually causing it's downfall. The line "we will go softly into the night" hits hard knowing the original meaning of the poem it references, telling of how the people almost welcome the end of an empire as a leader they looked up to has showed his true colors, and they have now abandoned his fallowing.

This album is full of magnificent songs, and to end the album with the same chords as the beginning riff.....simlply genius! Impera has become my absolute favorite Ghost album, even with the powerful and awesome Infestissumam, and Prequelle on that list, I have to say, I have listened to Impera now about 40 times all the way through, and I am just loving every song on it! Kaisarion, Spillways, Twenties, Griftwood, Darkness at the Heart of My Love, Watcher in the Sky, Bite of Passage, Call Me Little Sunshine, Hunter's Moon, Respite On The Spitalfields, and the two instrumentals, Imperium and Dominion, make for one incredible and gloriously exceptional album from Ghost!

I always thought this song might have been about Jack The Ripper. Respite means like a relief from something unpleasant (Jack is no longer killing) and I believe a few if not all of Jack's killings are from the Spitalfields area in London or very close to the area so to me I get the this whole Jack the Ripper vibe from this song.
