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".

Alternative titles
First live performance

Writer/composer Matthew Bellamy

Rumoured to be the first single off of the album of the same title although this turned out to be false.

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]

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".

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
