Analysis and Explanation

Ruled by Secrecy was one of the last songs off of Absolution to make it's live debut, not appearing live until March 2004. Upon its debut, however, it was played at the majority of gigs for the rest of the year. It is believed that Ruled by Secrecy took Endlessly's setlist spot as Endlessly's last performance was the gig before Ruled by Secrecy's debut. The song continued to be played semi-regularly in 2005 but was dropped at the end of the year.

After making no appearances in 2006, the song made a handful of appearances in late-2007 for the Australian/New Zealand leg of the Black Holes and Revelations Tour, along with a further performance that year in North America. It returned again for 9 gigs during The Resistance Tour in 2010 and also made one appearance in 2012. The 2012 performance is notable for featuring Matt belting the final chorus vocals as he did on the album, which he rarely does live.

The song hasn't been played since 2012 and it doesn't look too likely that it will return anytime soon. However, it was a setlist option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, indicating that band haven't given up on the song yet.
