“Pro Memoria” talks about not fearing death as the band assures that it is an imminent certainty for us mortals. Ghost first previewed a short version of this song in the third chapter of their youtube series and played the whole song live at some shows before the album was released. The music could...
[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
Lucifer, whispering, silently into your mind
Who walks behind, who walks behind
Standing tall, invincible, but do not forget your knives
To save your lives, to save your lives
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Ah...
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you vomit savage slurs, spewed up wickedly
To hide from me, to hide from me
Navigate all alone on this tempestuous sea
To ride with me, to ride with me
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
[Verse 3: Cardinal Copia]
Lucifer, whispering, silently into your mind
Who walks behind, who walks behind
Had you had the chance today, you could've sold out too
Ain't that right Swede Saint Peter?
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh-oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh-oh!

The piece of music at the beginning of “Pro Memoria” was something I wrote a few years ago. We toured around with it for Meloria but we never got to use it. The producer of that record, Klas Åhlund and me, he and I had the idea that we were going to do this sort of Brian May guitar symphony with tha...
