Me and my wife danced to this song at our wedding a few months after it was released 😊 we were struggling to pick a song and then this came out and we just knew immediately. We’re both massive fans.

Tobias said in an interview that this song is kind of telling a romance in black plague era, when people were basically sentenced to death when infected. And you look at you loved one, hold his/her hand and she/he's dying. Very sad indeed

I always felt this song was about Tobias brother that he lost. I find it a hard song to listen to because its so emotional.

This is my favorite part of Prequelle. The whole album is a story. In Dance Macabre, he falls in love. In Pro Memoria, he's taunted with death. In Witch Image, he sells his soul for eternal life. In Helvetesfonster, the bell tolls (the chime at midnight from Dance Macabre). In Life Eternal, he laments his eternal life without his lover.

Letting go of his loved ones? When he tells the satanic little girls to leave.

Life Eternal is such a beautiful, sad song. It's also quite beautiful if you hear it live too. Ghost did a great live recording of it during one of the BBC Recording sessions they did a couple years ago, I'd recommend it. But yes, it is a song that leaves you melancholic and contemplative about life. Excellent reaction, you two!

Tobias is one hell of a song writer. How is the band not huge? Going to see them this fall!

As I’ve been making studio covers of his songs I’ve gotten a deeper appreciation of his songwriting craft! The success is well deserved!

Life Eternal is up there with my favourites from Ghost, something about it just gets me in my feels.

Me and my wife danced to this at our wedding, one of our favorite Ghost songs!

This is in my top 3 Ghost songs easy. It’s so catchy, we’ll designed, and emotionally effective. It’s perfect in the context of the album as well. Prequelle was such an underrated album.

I've been waiting for a Pro memoria reaction! I'm so excited that you've tripped down the Ghost rabbit hole with the rest of the fandom

Let me say, this was only performed live on the Pale Tour Names Death. I saw them on Wilkes Barre, Pa drove 4.5 hours from Pittsburgh to see them in a small theater. Incredible. He actually extends the vocal bars on “this is the moment of just letting goooooooooo… and also the last AND EVVEEEEEEERRRR” look up Ghost live Kirby Center 2018. You will hear his range and stamina. The whole show is well filmed by “Yupsure” would love to see a live reaction. Takes it to another level.

this song has so much emotion. i have heard it hundreds of times. i dont think i've ever made it through without teering up.

Fun fact, Helvetesfonster is actually the intro to Life eternal, its meant to be listen together for the full experience.

This song and Majesty were my two favourite track by Ghost for a good long while. Not to sound morbid but it's what I would like played at my funeral. Of course that'll be centuries away lol

This is my favorite song of the entire album! I loved how you analyzed this.

This song might be about the brother of tobias. He died when their first album released

Love you guys dig deeper into the lyrics!

the groove at the end sounds like the ending part of stairway to heaven. outstanding

That drum fill before let me touch your soul forever just sets it up so right

You have to remember that this is from Prequelle - an album about the plague, so yeah, it really is about a couple where one or both of them is dead or dying.

An absolute beautiful song, I've heard that the song is about his lost brother❤

This is the finale song of Prequelle, the album about the Black Plague, so of course, this is when the last people are letting go, as foreshadowed in Dance Macabre. The song that comes before this, Helvetesfönster, is very fitting in that it communicates the quietness of the world after many of the people are gone and it flows right into this.

Well...Tobias and Martin Axenrot, who played drums in Opeth, were more or less neighbours😁

Praise the Sun

This album is about the black death...this song is about a couple and she is dieing holding her hand and telling her how much he loves her and letting go letting her die their souls forever entangled

What she was talking about pop artists taking deep subjects and playing it in happy upbeat ways, it makes me think of the original version of Mad World by Tears for Fears.

I know it’s a little strange to be saying this but I really want Post Modern Jukebox to to a Ghost Cover. Especially, Square Hammer or Dance Macabre would fit in so nice.

You already know this album is about the black plague. This is the last song so yes this is were the woman who he did bewitched in Dance Macabre dies.

It's not at all metal but the song The Memo by Father John Misty is one of the best takedowns of modern pop culture out there. Very funny and incisive and musically Father John Misty is no slouch either

I’ve heard different theories about this one. Some have said it’s from the view point of Satan? Tobias says it’s about eternal life and would you want it? Is that something you could commit to? I don’t know exactly what it means but still love the way it’s crafted and written. To me it sounds like she’s committed and he’s not, If you had life eternal, she says.. Sounds like she’s entering the afterlife without him to me anyway.

That's not really how Wikipedia works in practice. Most articles (at least the established ones, not so much small and obscure ones) are closely monitored by editors who get notified if something changes, and if they see that the change is wrong somehow, they will immediately change it back. And everything is (or should be) sourced and can be confirmed by checking out that source if you're unsure of the veracity. There have even been studies that show an extremely high accuracy on Wikipedia! :)

It must be pretty cool not being able to make a bad song.

Don't forget to do It's a Sin, only on KZread.

To me, this song is about Satan asking a dying woman for her soul, but she turns him down because he can't offer life eternal.

I gotta say I like the melody of the pre-chorus and the overall vibe of the song but the lyrics feels lil bit repetitive to me. Yeah, many songs of them have repetitive lyrics but somehow it doesnt bother me. But here it doesnt work very well for me.

It sounds like a beautiful love song until he says "Will you let me touch your soul forever?" and it's instantly creepy. That's not what a lover would say, more like a demon seducing a poor mortal into eternal damnation.
