Die norwegischen Progger LEPROUS treiben weiter die Vorbereitungen für ihr achtes Studioalbum voran. „Melodies Of Atonement“ wird am 30. August veröffentlicht und nach dem Video zu `Atonement` stellt die Truppe nun Track und Clip zu `Silently Walking Alone´ vor.

Sänger Einar Solberg beschreibt die neue Auskopplung folgendermaßen:

“‘Silently Walking Alone’ is the first song of the album, and it gives a whole other vibe than our previous album. It’s very electronic, epic, simplistic and heavy. It’s kind of the sister song of “Atonement” sound wise, but you’ll be up for some surprises when it comes to the rest of the album. The song is about gradually learning to be OK by myself, and to be OK in my own company. Hikes and nature have helped me quieting my mind and becoming more leveled.”

Lyrics:

Counting all the days and nights
I have tried to please the crowds
Irreparable and bruised
Still I never felt refused
Covering up all stains in sight
Colored all in white

Silently walking alone
The power of being unknown
Silently soothing my soul
The hiding has taken its toll
Silently walking alone

Running up the slope to fight
With flashbacks from the night
To where I was born in guilt
Where every brick was built

I’m done pleasing the crowds
After all my last call was to break this barrier
After all my last call was to take all the blame again

Silently walking alone
The power of being unknown
Silently soothing my soul
The hiding has taken its toll
Silently walking alone
