Lyrics:
You were told to swallow crawl and hide
Victims of fear and deception
Get ahold of yourself rise above
The better part of you, immortal

May this purple spring flow into your soul
Exhausting all these black holes inside
Wake up to the sound of doom!
Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up

Get strong

Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom!

Gojira is the metal band of the decade.

[georgedorjee]

As a Tibetan... this video hits waay too deep
thank you gojira for shading some light on this issue..on our strife

[thevilifyingforce]

I'm dealing with my father dying right now... Today, they sent a priest in for final blessings and the doctors don't expect him to last the night. The new album and especially Magma have helped me get through this. I know no one from the band reads this shit, but for me it's important today to give thanks. So. Thank you.

Gojira won all the metals at the Olympics

[jm-gm]

Gojira is probably the most mature band i known today. They have my full respect.

[ulvesk]

Most bands with such popularity wouldn't dare to touch topics against China due to their business considerations.
Thank you so much Gojira, here's love from a Taiwanese metalhead <3

[rounakbiswa]

Mario in a shirt and Joe doing clean vocals, the world is changing.

[jollygreengiant]

Sang along with this song with 3 thousand others last night. It was a beautiful moment of immense harmony.

[josuelainey]

I’ll never forget meeting a Tibetan farmer while travelling in Nepal. He invited me in his home for tea, and yak cheese with his family. One of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met.
It breaks my heart to hear about the persecution they have experienced.
Thank you for making this Gojira.

[MigueldeLys]

Some of you probably think that this video will be censored in China due the combative message pro Tibet, but don't worry, the whole YouTube is blocked there so no need of censorship. Anyway great song and great message, Gojira! Love it.

[NicoBorie]

Thanks again Gojira for your amazing music and powerful message!

[eliriddle]

I'm relatively new to Gojira and I am completely enthralled. I feel the same excitement when I discovered Tool in like '98.

[kashifsyed]

Sent this to a friend of mine whose parents are originally from Tibet, the video hit him so much he started crying.
Thank you, Gojira

[MoreGamingTeam]

As a Tibetan Buddhist myself, taught by my Teacher in Exile, Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche. I thank you for spreading the message.

[Pansevastidis]

Imagine play this song live, and 10.000 people singing aaa''. This is gonna be such an epic moment!!!

[jgreco]

I don’t understand why it took almost 2 decades for this band to become who they are now. Best metal band out there hands down.

[bear]

this is not the gojira we know and love, this is the gojira the world loves and needs

[pritambanik]

Thank you for showing the world an issue the mainstream media choose to ignore. Much Love from India. Gojira ❤️🇮🇳🇫🇷

[barankilic]

The moment when you proud of the band that you listen:

[GrowmietheGreen]

Gojira for me is that sobbing moment when you've gone too deep into a dark place, and its time to come back. Its really incredible how much music can impact wellbeing of the mind and soul. Theres no words to describe this band to do them justice.
