Ghost and Def Leppard front-man Joe Elliott have come together to deliver a fresh new version of the Impera song, “Spillways.”

The collaboration was first revealed in Ghost’s video series. In it, viewers are treated to a scene in which Elliot finds himself sitting inside a Dublin pub where karaoke is occurring when he suddenly steps up to sing with the band only then transported into another world braced by their latest record.

Check out the teaser below.

As if the teaser wasn’t enough, now you can enjoy Ghost’s new track in all its glory. This inspired collaboration seamlessly blends the ’70s and ’80s hard rock into a seamless sonic experience that’ll be sure to turn heads.

Ghost ft. Joe Elliott “Spillways” Lyrics

Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind of malediction
But through all this time
You try to peel it off, and it’s such a ride (ride)
Your desolation led you into this
Vile incarnation of consummated bliss
I know you need it now to make you feel alive (alive, alive)
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain’t over now
And I ain’t talking about forgiveness
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain’t over now
It’s the cruel beast that you feed
It’s your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways (spillways)
You keep a casket buried deep within
You try to mask it, but fall back in sin
You want to shake it off, but you are stuck inside
When stripped of rags of skin and spine
Human decay, Corpus dei
Terminally dispelled
And it’s such a ride (ride)
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain’t over now
And I ain’t talking about forgiveness
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain’t over now
It’s the cruel beast that you feed
It’s your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
(Spillways, spillways)
It’s the cruel beast that you feed
It’s your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
