Taken from the forthcoming Sigur Rós album 'Kveikur', which is out June 17/18, Ísjaki is a foretaste of what to expect from the Icelandic trio.
You can watch the new uploaded video from the band below.
And if you're having any problems with the Icelandic lyrics, a rough translation is:
You knew of me
And I knew of you
But we always knew this would end
You miss me
And I miss you
We've lost our legs from beneath us
Now lie down with me,
All cold and blue
While our bones are shivering
Almost dead from the cold
Iceberg
You never say anything
You are an iceberg
You are covered with ice
You stay silent and hide yourself behind
The Iceberg
You turn me
And I turn you
Now covered in flames,
We ignite like sulfur
It sparks off of me
It sparks off of you
It sparks off of us
Turning us to ash
Iceberg
You never say anything
You are an iceberg
You are covered with ice
You stay silent and hide yourself behind
The Iceberg
