Confirmed by Matt during an interview with Radio 1, to be the sequel to Citizen Erased[1]

Matt describes the song as being a ten-minute prog-rock nightmare dealing with the rise and fall of a dictator and is its own self-contained narrative.

Matt on The Globalist: "The first half sounds like something from a film, then it goes to a middle section that's metal then the outro is a big piano ballad." He also said that this song is one of his favourite songs from the album.

Information

The first part sounds like Ennio Morricone's Il Mercenario (L'Arena) song, which features an orchestra. In the middle part it turns heavy, and the drums and bass kick in, and by the end it turns into a slow piano ballad. Muse have also posted a lot of teasers for the song on Instagram during the recording process.

Instrumentation

In the beginning, it features an orchestra, with Matt whistling, and when the song builds up calmly, an acoustic guitar kicks in. Matt also throws boxes and chairs in the studio, to make it sound like a revolver shoot-out.
