"The Kill" (subtitled in its single release in America as "Bury Me" and in the UK as "Rebirth") is the second single from 30 Seconds to Mars's second album, A Beautiful Lie. Jared Leto described the meaning of the song as, "It's really about a relationship with yourself. It's about confronting your fear and confronting the truth about who you are." He has also said it is about "confrontation as a crossroads" — coming face-to-face with who you really are.
Since September 2007, "The Kill" was re-released again in the UK to help the song out on the charts there. It is currently available as a CD with an A Beautiful Lie poster and two stickers, and a special limited edition 7" vinyl version. The song was used as one of the themes of The Invisible, and a live music video is included on the DVD releases, as well as the song being part of the soundtrack.
The song was released for the videogame Rock Band as DLC along with "Attack" for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
