"Amazonia" lyrics

"Amazonia"

Incite a riot, put yourself in a trance
You rotate the frame in a world you rely on
A scar, a line has been drawn in the sand
Behold the life, the boundaries fools will crush

The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground

Onto the next stage of the plan
Mourn the witness of the wind
A handful of thunder
Will rise one last time

There's fire in the sky
You're in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground

Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia
Mighty Amazonia
Killing Amazonia
Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia
Mighty Amazonia
Killing Amazonia
Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia

Burn the land
Learn the end

Burn
Another gold mine is unveiled
The source of our sorrow
Learn
Embedded in these walls of green
Is the curse that we follow

There's fire in the sky
You're in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground

"Amazonia" is the second single from Gojira's album "Fortitude". "We don't want to just release a song called Amazonia – we want to do something on top of that. We feel a responsibility as artists to offer a way for people to take action." said frontman Joe Duplantier. "This is a call for unity. The music community can be powerful when united towards something meaningful like this! So many friends, great artists, bands have joined the movement without hesitation by donating instruments. This is a collective effort from so many people around us!"
The music video for this song, published on the 26th of March 2021, had the following in its description, "Proceeds from this song will benefit The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) who advocate for environmental and cultural rights of indigenous tribes in the Amazon who have suffered immensely – victims of deforestation, land loss, forced labor, violence, and harassment."
