This track from Muse’s 4th studio album, Black Holes and Revelations, features Spanish guitar and a trumpet solo.
The song’s subject matter addresses the walls and fortresses people build around themselves.
[Verse 1]
Stay away from me
Build a fortress and shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line
[Verse 2]
Can I believe when I don't trust?
All your theories turn to dust
I choose to hide
From the All-Seeing Eye
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
[Verse 3]
You will not rest or settle for less
Until you guzzle and squander what's left
Do not deny
That you live and let die
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
[Trumpet Solo]
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
