Description
Closer track of Simulation Theory. It had been called by many fans the "Exogenesis Part IV" due to the ambientation and the similarities with other closer tracks like Exogenesis Part III, Redemption, and Ruled by Secrecy.
The Void (Acoustic)
With more piano and without synths. This version contains Matt's lowest note on studio (an 2D) when he say "A STAR".
You can watch the official lyric video of the song here.
Additional information
The Qmagazine made a preview of Simulation Theory on 23th October, and they said this about the song: "Closer The Void is Muse at their over-the-top best, a blend of Bellamy's call-to-arms vocals, classical piano and ominous sci-fi soundscapes."
This song, alongside other yet unreleased songs, was leaked in a series of short 20 second video clips showing the vinyl player.
You can see the official lyric video of this version here.
Live
Matt played an excerpt with the piano on an interview. But it has to make the live debut.
More info will be uploaded here.
Lyrics
They'll say, no one can see us
That we're estranged and all alone They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom
They're wrong They're wrong They're wrong Yeah baby, they're wrong They're wrong They're wrong
They'll say the sun is dying And the fragile can't be saved And the cold, it will devour us And we won't rise up and slay giants
They're wrong They're wrong They're wrong Yeah baby, they're wrong They're wrong They're wrong
It takes a leap of faith To awake from these delusions You are the coder and avatar A star
They'll say, no one will find us That we're estranged and all alone They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom
They're wrong They're wrong They're wrong Babe they're wrong They're wrong They're wrong
