He hears the whispering words of trees
"What is lost here will wander the darkness inside,
A requiem, your only solace. An escape from that cursed, blinding light."
He left the saveness of home, hopeful of finding her, not wait to die alone.
So long ago she was taken from him, An empty void to fill, a life now so grim.
And countless hours lost to find that which he once held dear.
An empty shell was left with nothing left to fear.
For years he wandered, but always wondered
What will become of me? Still struck with disbelief
And why can no one see, She'll kill what's left of me.
A flash of lightning, awakens him from sleep.
Another hopeless vision, of promises he'd keep
She's but a memory of clouded days gone by.
A spectre of the past, a flicker in his eye
With the falling of leaves, he heard the song of the winds.
Quiet words falling on deaf ears, a hymn to the gods he does not wish to hear.
Let them come i will slay them all.
Just to be with the love that was stolen.
Sacrifice all i once thought important.
Dreams have shifted, a feeling so foreign
He held no more desire for others
He fell prey to her eyes.
Like the rivers so blue
To drown and be cursed, to be born anew
He can hear the trees that speak softly:
"She is lost, forever you'll wander
Who is this person you seek?
Is she not who you used to be?"
Now filled with the rage of a thousand men.
He sets ablaze the forest, burning a truth that he cannot stand.
You're filled with lies he speaks, I know what's been taken, My whole life was forsaken.
What have you done? The forest screams in agony
My words you dont believe, young wanderer consumned by your grief.
I know she is out there i have see she was taken, who are you to stop me
She's not even real, that void that you feel is nothing more than blistering solitude
He would never accept that he's broken,
Escaping the words of the woods.
He lacks a reflection in the waters so pure
And as he travels on roads so far from home.
There is no reason to return.
He lost his sanity along the way, to never return
Danger lurks on roads less travelled, when you travel alone
He got caught in the webs of temptation, stuck in a neverending loop of frustration.
A head full of wonders that he could explore, when he found that what he's searching for
He finally accepted the day that he died, that he was searching for something inside.
Something inside that filled him with hate, left him to wander and pursue his fate
The passage of time turned the man into stone, his prayers not answered when he died alone.
Algos is a one man melodic death project hailing from The Netherlands. With a unique twist to the genre, recognizable

I bought their other album, Spleen, months ago, and then just recently bought this one ... without even listening to it first. Thankfully Revenant is also amazing, serving as the perfect precursor to their more recent material. Tom's Reviews
