Update March 14 2017: Official release is coming Friday March 17. Confirmed by Linkin Park on Twitter: The full song 'Battle Symphony' has leaked online. Please do not post download links but feel free to discuss the track here. Linkin Park's next song to be released from One More Light has found its way online. 'Battle Symphony' has leaked in full following the track length being revealed via iTunes a couple days back. Rumours point to the song being initially set for release on the 16th or 17th of March, later this week. Any audio clips are being being removed by WMG but you can read the lyrics below: BATTLE SYMPHONY LYRICS I got a long to way to go And a long memory I've been searching for an answer Always just out of reach Blood on the floor Sirens repeat I've been searching for the courage to face my enemies When they turn down the lights I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armour breaks I'll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don't give up on me And my eyes are wide awake For my battle symphony For my battle symphony You say that I don't belong You say that I should retreat That I'm marching to the rhythm of a lonesome defeat But the sound of your voice Puts the pain in the reverse No surrender, no illusions And for better or worse When they turn down the lights I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armour breaks I'll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don't give up on me And my eyes are wide awake If I fall, get knocked down Pick myself up off the ground If I fall, get knocked down Pick myself up off the ground When they turn down the lights I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armour breaks I'll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don't give up on me And my eyes are wide awake For my battle symphony For my battle symphony Source: Youtube
For the less audio astute, let's nip this in the bud now: The abrupt transition means that this is two previews stitched together, don't expect the actual song to be that sudden. I feel like I gotta point this out because it might not be clear to some people. I dig this. Looking forward to hearing these moments in the context of the full song before I judge further.
We literally asked not to post downloads in the first line of the thread. Please do not ask for links either.
Was bound to happen. I mean, I'm just surprised the band managed to prevent any leak at all for 'Heavy'.
Verses sound good! Chorus is really catchy. I think this could grow on me. Edit: First verse reminds me of Chester's WFTE vocals.
I don't see how it's bound to happen for a digital single. Physical CD's on the other hand are different.
