How to put an image behind text in CSS?

I want an image to be displayed behind some text in an <h1> tag. But when I add the image it replaces the text and pushes the text below it.

Screenshots : Before and After

CSS

body {
  background-color: #1a1a1a;
}
header,
h1 {
  text-align: center;
  font-family: CGF Locust Resistance;
  font-size: 50px;
  color: lightgray;
  -webkit-text-stroke: 1.5px #000;
}
header {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  height: 100px;
  border-bottom: .5px solid #b3b3b3;
}
nav {
  position: relative;
  top: -5px;
  margin: auto;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  border-bottom: .5px solid #b3b3b3;
}
nav ul li {
  display: inline;
  color: #fff;
  font-family: CGF Locust Resistance;
  font-size: 12.5px;
  padding: 20px;
}
.red {
  color: red;
}
#omen {
  z-index: -1;
}

h1 {
  background: url(the/filepath/to/your/image.jpg) no-repeat center 100px;
  background-size: 400px auto;
  }

That's approximately how you would use a background image in this situation. center 100px means horizontally centered and 100px from the top (in relation to the h1 element).

Put this parameter to the image object in css (example creating custom classes) :

.image{
    position: relative;
}

And this one to the text :

.text{
    position: absolute;
}

Of course, you have to set this classes to it's respective objects. Hope it helps !

h1 {
  position : abosolute; 
}

This should do the trick but it is preferable to use ids instead of changeing the h tags everywhere on your side

Set the image as a background-image of header. Is that what you're after?
