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

    I'm 61 and love these guys from the beginning. All the powerful songs they have is just astounding. The night before my wife passed away we were listening to songs we danced to in night clubs when we were young. Song like Stranger, Personal Jesus, Silence, and so many more. We have always loved their sound and style of music. I love you my girl and know you are still listening with me. I've come to miss you more and more. I promise you I will Stand Tall & Stand Strong. ♾️✌️💯
  • I'm very proud because this videos filmed in my country Bulgaria and many actors also featurin in video is Bulgarian. Many regards to all fans of Depeche mode in Bulgaria and all world.

    If you ask me, Depeche Mode is one of those rare music groups that seems to get better with age, like fine wine. As I’ve said before, it’s very sad that Fletch has passed away. But I bet you he’s very proud of Dave & Martin for choosing to carry on. They’ve still got the right stuff.
  • It is amazing how much Depeche Mode has impacted my life since a young kid and the fact that my daughter is a fan now goes to show that they know how to attract the world still!
  • Great video! I think it's portraying Dave and Martin's relationship. Like this couple they had an intimate but still complicated relationship, where communication wasn't easy which is symbolised by them focusing on separate tasks and communicating by black boards facing each other. Then a death experience, symbolised by the drowning scene got them to speak more openly and that included hurtful words, symbolised by the bullets in the water. Maybe the old bearded man is Fletch? I like the small details hidden here and there, such as song names have been erased from the board (Never let me down again). And I like how we do not see the last message written by the woman, which adds a mix of tension, mystery and hope. I think this is a beautiful rendering of the song, very meaningful. It also gives more meaning to the fact that they both co-wrote the song, which indicates the lyrics can be interpreted as them having a dialogue.

    Only Depeche Mode can make dark song sound so uplifting. It's the lyrics, it's the melody, it's the brilliant minds behind the creations, for the pass 40 years. No band can match their achievements ❤️❣️🙏
  • It's so great to hear new songs from DM in 2023. Memento Mori is one of the best Albums from DM.
  • No matter when you found Depeche Mode. They will grow with you. This song, and the whole album, gets better and better.
  • My favourite song from Memento Mori album. Perfect sound, perfect voices, perfect lyrics. Dave and Martin in top form. I love you guys ❤
  • This is what happens when you have master artists working on stage for decades. Depeche Mode is a religion, and this may be their last curtain call. Bravo.
  • @Dream-on7ps
    Fun fact: video is shot at Studena Reservoir, Bulgaria. Some of the actors are locals.
  • Ringraziamo i Depeche mode di non lasciarci soli in questo caos che è la vita
