Muse - Kill Or Be Killed Lyrics

Muse Lyrics

"Kill Or Be Killed"

(Kill or be killed)

Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolved
And demons have materialised in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control

And we've tried, oh, we've tried so hard to be good
But the world rewards us when we're bad

Fate is driving me insane
It's forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)

They've driven a stake right through my heart
I'm growing so cold and detached

And I've tried, oh, I've tried so hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control

Fate has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
Either kill or be killed

Fate, is driving me insane
It's forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed

(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be)

Matt Bellamy told about this song "'Kill Or Be Killed' is Muse at their heaviest! We wanted to update our hard-rock sound on this album and with 'KOBK' we found a modern metal sound featuring double-bass-drum action and even a death growl. Lyrically the song takes influence from my favourite Paul McCartney song 'Live and Let Die', a dark take on how life's adversity can sometimes bring out the worst human instincts to survival at any costs."

Muse debuted "Kill Or Be Killed" live during the Rock Am Ring festival on the 4th of June, 2022.
