Alternative-Rock legends The Smashing Pumpkins recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to perform their new song “Beguiled”. Watch below.

The new single is the first off the band’s 33-track triple-LP Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts, which is Billy Corgan’s sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machine of God.

The Smashing Pumpkins will premiere a new track from Atum (pronounced “Autumn”) every week for the next 33 weeks on Billy Corgan’s new podcast; Thirty-Three With William Patrick Corgan; the first two episodes, “Atum” and “Butterfly Suite,” arrived earlier last week.

The album will be split into three acts, with Act 1 scheduled to arrive on November 15, 2022. Act 2 will then be released on January 31, 2023, and Act 3, will finish with a special edition boxset featuring all 33 album tracks plus 10 bonus songs, which will be released on April 21, 2023.

Beginning in October 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins will be touring across North America with Jane’s Addiction for the “Spirits on Fire Tour,” a 32-date co-headlining outing that runs into the middle of November.

Beguiled Lyrics

So swallow hard the serpents
Of many tags and faces hid in masks
Coiled ’round this lung until the last
He’ll crack your boots, young pagans
‘Cause like you, I was hatched to traipse on cold
And seventeen’s a long drawn way from home

And I’ve learned these lessons I was taught
Taught, so taught
And now I’m telling you

Return the faith
Return the faith
They’re smashing out the veils, return the faith
And there’s no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades, return the faith
You’ve gotta move

So as bеtrayed by rainbows
Here, I convеy I’ve sold out your dear cause
And the king has placed us in his jaws
It’s sure no place can hold us
But in this scene, I’m December
And your June’s wretch
And my idyls lay gasping as if death

And I’ve learned these lessons I was taught
Taught, so taught
And now I’m telling you

Return the faith
Return the faith
They’re smashing out the veils, return the faith
And there’s no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades, return the faith
You’ve gotta move
You might also like
The Culling
The Smashing Pumpkins
To the Grays
The Smashing Pumpkins
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
The Smashing Pumpkins

Return the faith (Return the faith)
Return the faith (Return the faith)
Return the faith
