Greetings, citizen of Eurasia, resident of colony GBv6.0. Please state serial code and expiry date to any hovering micromonitor and proceed to Aquadome for daily cleansing. The State reminds all citizens to keep their ResUnits appropriately free of contraband; more pertinently, any citizen harbouring the works of the known fugitive gang referred to as Muse will be re-educated. And the State...

Muse - The Resistance Lyrics
Muse - Exogenesis: Symphony Part II Lyrics
Rise above the crowds
And wade through toxic clouds
Breach the outer sphere
The edge of all our fears
Muse - MK Ultra Lyrics
The wavelength gently grows
Coercive notions re-evolve
A universe is trapped inside a tear
Muse - Uprising Lyrics
The paranoia is in bloom
The P.R. transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs, keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
Muse - United States Of Eurasia Lyrics
You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
But we know that whoever holds the reigns
Nothing will change, our cause has gone insane
Muse - Unnatural Selection Lyrics
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate, it's unnatural selection
I want the truth
Muse - Exogenesis Part III Lyrics
Let's start over again
Why can't we start it over again?
Just let us start it over again
Muse - Exogenesis: Symphony Part I Lyrics
Aping my soul
You stole my overture
Trapped in God's program
Oh, I can't escape
Muse - I Belong To You Lyrics
When these pillars get pulled down
It will be you who wears the crown
And I'll owe everything to you
Muse - Undisclosed Desires Lyrics
I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Muse - Guiding Light Lyrics
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
Muse - Resistance Lyrics
Is your secret safe tonight? And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place? Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
