Information

A cinematic orchestral piece written by Bellamy for Game of Thrones. The song is set to release on April 26th.[1]

Matt also thought it fit well in the Simulation Theory world tour sets as an interlude to The Dark Side, and features Matt on pre-recorded vocals with Chris and Dom playing concert bass drums.

Alongside an orchestra it also features a choir, a piano and a faint synth, similar to the one at the end of The Void, doubling the piano melody.

Alongside Bellamy's English singing, Pray also includes a spoken word, parts of Melisandre's Jon Snow's Prayer (performed by actress Carice van Houten), written in High Valyrian, a fictional language from the Game of Thrones series.

Live

A shortened version of it (the last verse, without the spoken word) made the live debut in the first show of the Simulation Theory Tour, in Houston, Dom and Chris playing big drums. The rest was played as a tape. You can see more info here.

Lyrics

We will pray Pray with me We can bring her back Pray, remember me
