French metal band Gojira have released the second single from their upcoming album Magma in the form of “Silvera”. The video, which was directed by Drew Cox, shows the band performing on top of a building in a large city, all while people start floating up into the air. There are other strange visuals, such as a woman dancing amongst white powder and clad as though she were a cloud herself.
“Silvera” follows the band’s first single, which was “Stranded“. Vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier spoke of the new album, stating, “We are very excited to release our new album ‘Magma’. We put everything we had into these songs. This album is our flesh and blood.”
Magma comes out June 17th. It can be pre-ordered right here.
Lyrics:
[H/T Rolling Stone]quit moaning about fate and change
stand up on your feet and rise
with every fall you get the pain, you learn the lesson
start now, open your eyesdead bodies falling from the sky
we are the ape with the vision of the killing
a rain of shame that fills the mines
no other blood in me but minetime to open your eyes to this genocide
when you clear your mind you see it all
you’re receiving the gold of a better life
when you change yourself, you change the worldyour heart is pounding in the brain
as they drag you naked in the mud
a devil’s dancing in the rain
how could you fall so low?no! we will never let go!
let us watch them die!time to open your eyes to this genocide
when you clear your mind you see it all
you’re receiving the gold of a better life
when you change yourself, you change the world
