The lyrics to Ghost's song La Mantra Mori repeat the phrase "We focus on your death" multiple times, punctuated by the line "You share not the blood of our-our-ours, thus we focus on your death". The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the importance of death in the song's theme. The use of the pronoun "you" implies a singular target of this focus, though it is not explicitly stated who or what the subject of the song is. The phrase "You share not the blood of our-our-ours" could be interpreted as a reference to lineage or historical connection, in which case the subject would be seen as not belonging to the same group as the singer.
The tone of the song is dark and ominous, underscored by the haunting melody and echoing background vocals. The lyrics themselves are simple and repetitive, but the repetition adds to the unsettling effect of the song. Given the dark themes of the song and the band's name, it is likely that the song is intended as a commentary on death in some way. However, the ambiguity of the lyrics leaves interpretation up to the listener.
