The Chant Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were told to swallow, crawl, and hide
Victims of fear and deception
Get a hold of yourself, rise above
The better part of you, immortal

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
Get strong
Get strong
Get strong
Get strong

[Outro]
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up, wake up
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom

What did Gojira say about "The Chant"?

Joe Duplantier:

This is a leap from the metal songs to a weird, Indigenous type of rock song. There’s a change of tonality also. The beginning of the album is a G, and then towards the end it’s a C. As the intro to this song, ‘Fortitude’ is something that orients your ear towards another field of notes, so it’s preparing the brain to make room. When “The Chant” hits, it feels two times harder and stronger than it would be if it was directly after another song. It’s a mantra with an intention of unification through peace and strength, something that the human race needs a lot.
