From Yesterday - 30 Seconds To Mars

The video clip for the song was recorded entirely in the chinese republican, using 1000 chinese soldiers at the start holding the flags. The film starts with a young boy, presumably the emperor, being asked what he would like for his birthday. He simply states "The Sound of Tomorrow". It then goes across to a room with the band member in there each doing there own thing. A woman enters and tells them that it is the time. She lead them out into the hall and disappears. They walk down to the end of the hall where they attempt to open the door. They are unable to. The lights start to flicker and they go out, leaving the band puzzled.

It then opens to another scene where the band is walking through giant gates into the row of chinese soldiers. As they are all walking down it, Jared notices a woman with pale white skin walking on the exterior of the row, oblivious to the others.

They are then taken to the hall where the emperor is, and they are given scrolls. Jared then says to his brother "This is a gift?"

They are then each led to a different part of the kingdom, encountering many chinese traditions. Matt Watcher encounters the butler whipping himself, Tomo Milicevic finds a dead woman lying on her bed, and he proceeds to put a small black ball into her mouth. Shannon sees a grown man being breast fed by his mother or wife and Jared accidentally walks in on a group of men sacrificing 3 young woman.

Lyric

He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the world

For a fortune queen
But it’s hard to amend
How it ends and
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention

On a mountain, a city, not a gold, nor blood
He can learn, see the life that it turn
From the count to the one
He’s decided when he’s done with the air

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
Fighting off the world all around, he can pay attention
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention
