Fire From the Gods, the alt-metal band based out of Austin, Texas, have announced their fourth album, Soul Revolution, which will be out Oct. 28 on Better Noise Music. Accompanying this news is a music video for the third single, “Thousand Lifetimes,” which pays homage to strong mothers.
“I came from a broken home and society has a way of turning its back on people like me,” singer AJ Channer says of the song’s message and inspiration.
“I watched my mum along with some very strong women in my life sacrifice everything to keep their families above water,” he continues, “That strength helped build me into the man I am today. The video also serves as a homage to those mothers who have lost their children to the harsh realities of our world. I wanted to honor them and the thousands like them because a mother’s love is a force to be reckoned with. This goes out those warriors in our lives.”
The song follows the release of “SOS” and the Soul Evolution title track, all of which appear on the forthcoming followup to 2019’s American Sun. Watch the music video below and view the album art and track listing further down the page.

Fire From the Gods, “Thousand Lifetimes” Lyrics
Sick of feeling right and feeling wrong
I’ve been in this place way too long
I’ve been down and I’ve been strong
Now what the hell is going on
It’s getting harder but I know I’ll make it
And there’s no code in my DNA to front or fake it
I got these clouds hovering and hanging
And the darkness consumes meHow long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain’t that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimesI must confess
I break from the stress
I tell my story
Get it off my chest
Greenlight till I get it right
Ain’t no stopping till I save my life
Harder to breathe
It’s getting harder to see
A future in front of me
Suffocated and vindicated
Never a minute goes by that’s justifiedHow long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain’t that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimesGive it my all
Even when I fall
Back against the wall
When push comes to shove
I’m not giving up
No, noDedicated to the overworked
Who put everything on the line
For those they love until it hurts
Keep your head up when it got tough
Kept faith and love when the roads dem get rough
A thousand lives couldn’t pay for the strength you gave
Or the energy you gave up
I haven’t prayed in years but I know you’re there somewhereHow long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain’t that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimesOh yeah, a thousand lifetimes
I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
