UK legends Depeche Mode have released the video for their latest single “Wagging Tongue“, off their recent album ‘Memento Mori‘.
According to the press release “‘Wagging Tongue’ tells the story a young couple from a small remote village who join their neighbors for a confrontational ritual. One that draws in participants from all walks of life: lawyers, businessmen, priests, policemen, even Martin Gore and Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode.”
The black and white video follows a young couple partaking in a series of rituals, and features brief appearances from co-founders Dave Gahan and Martin Gore.
Watch it below.
The band’s 15th studio album ‘Memento Mori‘ came out on March 24. Grab your copy here.
Depeche Mode ‘Wagging Tongue’ Lyrics:
You won’t do well to silence me
With your words or wagging tongue
With your long tall tales of sorrow
Your song yet to be sung
I won’t be offended
If I’m left across the great divide
Believe me, they will follow
Just to watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
You won’t do well to darken me
With your secrets and your lies
With your piercing code of silence
Relax enjoy the ride
I’ll meet you by the river
Or maybe on the other side
You find it hard to swallow
When you watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
Another sun is rising
Another day has come
You can find me, I’ll be waiting
Until the day is done
I won’t be persuaded
Kiss your doubts goodbye
Everything seems hollow
When you watch another angel die
Watch another angel die
