This Ennio Morricone-inspired Spaghetti Western instrumental interlude features a sample of guitarist Serge Pizzorno's grandfather, Wilf Dillon, reciting some Latin. He says "in mortis ora incerta est," which translates as, "the hour of death is uncertain."

Pizzorno told BBC: "There's something powerful about a 94-year-old man saying that."
