In a 2022 interview with Zane Lowe, Bellamy said that this track is "''the best metal/prog track we've ever done, the best track that could've been on [[Drones (album)|Drones]].''".<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> The metal-like song was further described in Warner Music's short album recap as having "industrial-tinged" and "granite heavy" guitar riffs.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref>
=== F major (♭) ===


A heavy song with heavy use of synth arpeggios and double kick patterns, it features a very nu-metal-like guitar riff during the intro, reminiscent to bands like [[Slipknot]] and [[Korn]]. The guitar solo relies on heavy use of tapping, including the Whammy pedal, and is thus similar in style to [[Reapers (song)|Reapers]]. What's also similar to the latter song is the siren, which appears during the bridge part, which also includes a heavy scream. The pre-chorus parts feature a similar tom pattern and vibe as the verses of Assassin's demo version, known as [[Assassin (song)|Debase Mason's Grog]]. The chord progression during the solo is similar to that of [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]]'s middle section, but with a slower drum beat.


The melody of the guitar during the break of the song, written in phrygian scale, and in B-minor, is reminiscent to that of [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]]'s verses.

|Kill or be killed


Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolve
Demons have materialized in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control


Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to be good,
=== D♭ major (♭♭♭♭♭) / C♯ major (♯♯♯♯♯♯♯) ===
But the war rewards us with ''[inaudible]''


Fate

I must kill or be killed


''[Inaudible]'' stick right through my heart
=== G♭ major (♭♭♭♭♭♭) / F♯ major (♯♯♯♯♯♯) ===
I'm growing so cold and detached


Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to spread love,
* [[ Megalomania (song)|Megalomania]] (partial)
But you preverse it, and I assert control


Fate
=== B major (♯♯♯♯♯) / C♭ major (♭♭♭♭♭♭♭) ===
Has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams are waste
Either kill or be killed


Either kill or be killed
