Agalloch - A Desolation Song

One Picture Video ;) I Like it

Here I sit at the fire
Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
Here I drink alone and remember
A graven life, the stain of her memory
In this cup, love's poison
For love is the poison of life
Tip the cup, feed the fire,
And forget about useless hope. . .

Lost in the desolation of love
The passions we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life
This path that we walk. . .

Here's to love, the sickness
The great martyr of the soul
Here's to life, the vice
The great herald of misery
In this cup, spiritus frumenti
For this is the nectar of the spirit
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
And forget about cold yesterdays. . .

Lost in the desolation of love
The passions we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life
This path that we walk. . .
Lost in the desolation of love
The sorrows we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life
The path that we walk. . .

@ChristinaDarkRose That's because Opeth is Opeth, Enslaved is Enslaved and Agalloch is Agalloch.

[KalimadaAdair]

Opeth is good. Agalloch is good. They're two completely different bands, comparing them is stupid.

@ArendosPL Seriously....I felt the same way the first time I heard it. All Agalloch songs that I've heard have had that affect on me.

[ArendosPL]

This is funny. I don't think it even has a melody, yet it's... somehow catchy. It won't follow you everywhere you go, but it surely will make you play it again. And again. And again, for no apparent reason.

[satansatin]

dammit, it's like this song is ripping my guts... I can't tell what it is, but it REALLY feels like a Desolation Song. The first time I listened to this song, on the first seconds I was like "aw, a cute acoustic song", and by the end of it I just felt so melancholic. This song makes me feel quiet and aware of my emptiness, it makes me stare at nothing for longer than I should, thinking about nothing, just feeling this emptiness, not sad neither worried about it, just feeling it.

@Daemonfury1 opinion

[SageScion]

I whip out my slong and take a good steaming wiss on Opeth

[Daemonfury1]

Stop talking about Opeth, their a boring and overrated metal band. Not the slightest bit unique. This band however is more unique, and meaningful.

[BelgianHeadbanger]

I stayed up all night, listening to nothing but Agalloch. I have to say, this is the most beautiful and melancholic song I've ever heard..
