The song is only acapella with superimposed layers and a spiritual atmosphere. Matthew summarizes his point and everything ends with an "Amen".[1]
The song features a sample of "Missa Papae Marcelli" by "Pierluigi da Palestrina" with lyrics written by Matthew Bellamy.[2] but the NME says they sampled a song by "Giovanni Gabriel"
Matt said about the song that: "It's a lament for the victims, it ends on this ghostly chorus of the frogotten, they will never see justice, and they have been killed by a robot, there's something inherently tragic about humanity there".[3] According to NME, the song is based around a 16th century song, Sanctus & Benedictus.[4]
Lyrics
Incomplete
My mother, my father,
My sister and my brother My son and my daughter killed by drones
Can you feel anything? Are you dead inside? Now you can kill from the safety of your home With drones. Amen
