I just realized that the lyrics changed as well.
In the original Iron Maiden song, the person singing uses "you" like: You're the Phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare
But Tobias uses "I", like: I'm the Phantom of the opera, I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare.
That's clever and I love it

Lyrics:
I've been looking so long for you
Now you won't get away from my grasp
I've lived so long in hiding
In hiding behind that false mask
And I know that you know
That I ain't got long now to last
My looks and my feelings
Are just the remains of my past.
I'm standing in the wings there
I wait for the curtain to fall
In knowing the terror and holding
I have on you all
Yeah, you know that I'm going to scratch you
And maim you and maul
And you know you're helpless
From my mesmerizing catcall.
Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you
Come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way.
You're running and hiding
In dreams, I'm always there
I'm the phantom of the opera
I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare
I damaged your mind and your soul
It just floats through the air
I haunt you, I taunt you
I torture you back at my lair.

The beauty of Ghost covers is that they always sound like a Ghost song while managing to also still sound like the original.

Nobody is talking about the fact that Tobias changed the perspective of the song in the lyrics from being the prey of the phantom to THE phantom himself!! This is the real genius about this cover!!!

The fact they made the bass heightened in this makes this a MASSIVE respect to Steve Harris...Nothing but respect

Tobias Forge knows exactly what buttons to push. He has made Ghost one of the biggest rock bands around because of brilliant music, commercial know-how and everybody who has seen Ghost live, knows the man has 10 tons of charisma. The sky is the limit

Imagine being a kid having never heard this tune. It would blow your mind and then you’d find the original and it’ll blow it all over again. Great work ghost keeping the game going 🤘😎

I actually first discovered Ghost when they opened for Iron Maiden. I hadn't heard of them before and when I did hear them for the first time in concert I fell in love with their music. So amazing and I will love them forever! 🥰😀👻❤️

Congrats to Ghost for the Grammy nomination for this brilliant cover

It takes balls to cover Maiden. You can tell Tobias is a music fan first and foremost, because he knows that ANY cover of maiden will be scrutinized extremely close and that it has to be done RIGHT.
I can’t find fault whatsoever in this version. Well done. Well done.

Gonna be honest, I was really excited thinking they did a cover of the song from the musical with there style, but iron maiden is also a wonderful choice and I'm still not disappointed. Great band

Tobias asked Steve Harris permission to change the perspective of the lyrics. Very appropriate. Brilliant EP.
