Lyrics:
Ǣvinlíka es skȳmanda kveld, tīmi ī røkkƦi stirðnaðr
þó ī kalda mistri ōþāttraƦ daganaƦ, grafinn ī dusti at ǣvinlíku iak em
en stiarnuƦ hins vakanda māna
kasta ōsǣld aftr ī dauðum augum mīnum
Iak vas ī skuggum fǿddr, æina kverra nǫtt
Iak vas dauðr hurinn ī asku lífs auk glæði þess
Iak vas ōvilnu skrøyttr, til kvals iak vas dømðr
Iak vas ī grafu mīnni fǿddr, at aldrigi rísa aftr
Villandi siūniƦ handan grafaƦ auk hugaƦ mǽttaƦ
skapnaðiƦ andstyggƦaƦ glæði auk ōvits
hregðas ī mót brosandi, rutnandi hrǽva
es iak aftr niðrī sorta sink auk aftr til hinna dánu
Iak em dauðr løygƦ, sum þó ænn brinn auk matas
Iak em logandi ī bláu, tȳnd kǫld ǫnd
Iak em sá, gløymt vas ī myrkƦi, liúsalæið þīnni tiarri
Iak em ī ǣvinlíkum svefni staddr, ænn þá get æigi um drauma hæim þīnn færðaz
En dag nákkvarn
þā es sunna ī hæimi þīnum sæz
auk māni ríss yfir øyðilǫnd mīn haukt
skal iak ænda fǫr þási dauða
færðina þú líf kallaƦ
Iak dvælium útan þess þú hæim næfniƦ
Iak dvælium útan tīma þīns auk rūms
Iak dvælium ī røynd sum þīnum es fiarri

Lífit es dauða færð
Best metal song ever in all genre
I am with this tune for some 15 years now, and imo, it’s aspiring on being one of the world’s greatest Black Metal tracks ever recorded 🖤
Same 🖤
No shit!
Mt favorite track when Im getting ready for gym
@@Tomatisenn
Who is your uncle?
@@Tomatisenn
Cool.
one of the rare best songs ever recorded in history
yea so rare. on the internet. 10/10 this will never be heard again.
He obviously referred to the song's rare quality.
About as rare as my inebriated self making good decisions.
Circa '09? This isn't rare? You guys are stupid. This shit is true as fuck
Im glad that i own the original vinyl of this
One of the greatest BM songs ever written, amazing composition, great theme and lyrics in 10th century Swedish Norse (!)... masterpiece!
It seems like they've done a mashup of different old Norse words. The grammar seems wonky to me. Cool anyway.
@@Lindormber Yes, I don't expect them to be fluent in old Norse, but it's still a really interesting concept that I enjoy.
@@Dexusaz Same, same. It's a great song!
Best Black Metal song ever written. Astonishing production, killer vocals, beautiful guitar and riffs with a lot of feeling, fuckass long duration and still not dense. Masterpiece in every aspect.
Absolutely my friend, 1 of the best in this spirit of true atmos black metal
My friend cacahuete lol 🎉
😂😂😂
Cacahuete hahaha no way
ты тян?
One of the best songs ever created. Another confirmation that there's no musical genre like Black Metal.
man is that the truth, I love death and thrash metal, but black metal is just more of an experience than just kick ass music. ;)
@@sole__doubt You are right. I think, for those who get it, this genre goes deeper inside one's psyche and communes more intimately with it than others. Or maybe I'm just biased... But I don't think those who listen to Britney get the same out of it as we get out of BM.
@@Byezbozhnik couldnt agree more. Great BM is essentially a spiritual experience but maybe Im biased like you said. ;)
what about 20th century classical music or some gustav mahler
Unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable enough about the kinds of music you are mentioning to be able to discuss it, but I think much of that may be comparable/compatible with this masterpiece, on some level.@@XYZ-hm7kf
Best 20 minutes of my life.
No lie.
Fucking hell yeah
Yep
One of the best 20 minutes of my life listening to this band/ music. Amazing and was always a fan!
What about the remaining 33 seconds lol
This needs a 20 year anniversary rerelease
this song is fvcking gold
trve dvt
It's weird seeing so many metalheads agreeing in something, let alone that one specific song is the best in the genre, but... I really do think this song is one if not the best song in black metal
It's a favorite for sure. It's hard for me to decide a band/album/song that is the best out of em all though.
Sabbat - The Melody of the Death Mask
You got a point. Its always a dismissive attitude from other black metalheads not so much a bother per se. ...but I def love this masterpiece!!
I mean this song is sick, but the whole of the Weakling - Dead as Dreams record is this good and MGLA have stole and surpassed a lot of this sound. Also Nehemah exist.
How do I find a lyrics
15 yıllık black metal serüvenimin en üst seviyede ki tek parçası sensin muazzam ötesi senden iyisi geleceğine de emin değilim hayat ölüme olan yolculuktur 🖤
Rönesans dönemi deriz, barok dönemi deriz, bunada black metal dönemi demeliyiz aslında ; çünkü 90 lardan sonra black metal yok. En az ekipmanla en üst seviye işler çıkaran özel insanlar.
I cannot stress enough what a masterpiece this is. How most musical creation endeavours are so far below this piece. How the fact that a very tiny amount of people have knowledge of and appreciation for this song only confirms its greatness. Only those who are privy to and knowledgeable of the darkness of life and existence can comprehend this. Twenty minutes of musical variations and nuances within a dark, grey, hopeless mood pattern; this is art at its highest. I cannot be, in this particular case, grateful enough to fate for having put me on the way of discovering such a magnum opus.
Well spoken
This may truly be the best 20 minutes of BM in history
I have to thank soulseek where many years ago a guy showed me this band. it has been more than a decade and this tune still haunts me. I love it.
I want this played at my funeral 🖤
Not many songs could be more suitable to a funeral -or to life itself- than this.
Thematically this would fit perfectly.
Who doesn’t
More than 10 years i listen.
I've never been happier as I am right now hailing Pest.
A masterpiece. The final riff is just..............
One of my greatest black metal discoveries of all time! I will always be gtrateful for this!!! MASTERPIECE!
some guy on a festival wrote this song on sheet of paper for me and i found out its actually a masterpiece
You should thank him
i found it because of a sample of a song some rapper sematary made
@@dame9187 How a rapper could possibly know, let alone, appreciate this song is quite unexpectable...
@@Byezbozhnikhes just a poser who samples black metal riffs without even listening to the genre itself lol
he’s a big BM fan, helped me discover loads of good stuff through his sampling. He definitely enjoys the genre, calling him a poser is funny
Probably one of the best Black Metal songs ever. Thanks for posting the whole song.
The best BM sound produced on Swedish soil and without a doubt one of the best in the world!
I am totally in love with this 😭♥️
Out of entire blacj metal genre this song is by far the best. It's just pure 100% black metal. It encapsulates the essence of it and doesn't add anything unnecessary, which makes it beautiful by the definition.
Its not the best.Its great but man.....thre are thousends of great songs
@@Bartek-qo2ek mind sharing some of them?
Pure Black Metal quintessence.
T R U E
quintessence darkthrone \m/
@@AnyaKittyMeow wrong. early mayhem.
early burzum..
@@ryanmozert "Quintessence" is a song by Darkthrone. And the first real BM album was "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" again by Darkthrone.
This song is an eternal masterpiece that will go down in history as the finest old black, top shelf
I absolutely need tabs for this. What a gem!
Acid tabs
It has long been a favorite of my composition in this genre.
Волшебная музыка.
Hail from Russ!
This band deserves respect.
I'm very lucky for listening to this the first time right now... soo goood
You must have listened to it many more times since!
@@Byezbozhnik Yep always. Best black metal song imho.
It will grow on you
One of the best black metal songs EVER!
Monumental. Absolument magistral.
I want my relatives to play this song as I lie dying in a hospital bed, and then again at my funeral.
they will play see you again
One of the best albums of the last thirty years¡¡¡ Pure, Unholy Black Metal¡¡¡¡
Fuck why does nobody talk about this record & band. What a masterpiece.
We all did… about 20 years ago … hahaha the lp was released somewhen this time.
One of the greatest Blackmetal compositions ever. THE best in my humble opinion.
Absolutely.
12th rising, Nagflar; Mgla - Exercises In Futility V; Mother North, Satyricon; Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane. Your opinion its nice, but not the best ;)
@@nymusandrew1501 This Pest release is blessed with no seconds of boredom., no part feels uninspiring or a build up. Light's bane could possibly be considered a contender since nödtveidt's songwriting was also blessed with few instances of filler.
Det som en gang var
@@nymusandrew1501 Most of those song are good, but not truly great. Every second of this song is compelling. It is indeed one of the best ever written.
I finally got a copy of the LP version!! I'll treat it like a treasure, because it is a treasure
Sounds annoying, really. Don't get me wrong, I love LP's, and I have a good collection myself, but with albums that involve just one long song ('The Dwelling' by 'Sabbat' comes to mind also) I just feel that it would be frustrating to have to pause the song to flip it. When it comes to albums like that, it's CD or digital for me.
Baphomet The LP contains both versions of the song. 1 side is in 12th Century Swedish and the other side is in English.Name 1 album that makes you pause to flip the record.
+biggerdilly where'd you get it?
I found it at german webshop called grau. you can look at www.grau.cd if they have some copies left
:D you might kill me but you'll never get my Dauðafærð EP :P
Amazing raw and dark song.. It's one from the best Old school of Black metal. Pest is like demon, masterpiece music.
That riff at 18:53. Omg that is beautiful
The excellence in music greats riffs, is a masterpiece. Hail, hail, hail, PEST!!
My favourite and most treasured piece. I love it
Such a beautiful, beautiful 20 minutes of musical emotion. Powerful. 🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼
When u realize u hear for the first time trve Black Metal lyrics from the 10th century Swedish norse!
Great song , represents several feeling that im experiencing now .
Absolute masterpiece
This is an amazing expression of pure misantrophy! All hail PEST!
do i really have to say anything here ...PERFECTION at his best thats it
absolutely loved it
This Album is a classic But The Riff Outro at 18:50 is a Masterpiece
I think its like a big track not an album but still its amazing
@@N2OXxdaudafaerd is an ep with this track only
🤘🏻 This is a perfect composition !
Masterpiece,soundtrack of my life,i from my funeral,greetings from Brazil.
Saudações guerreiro....fudido som.....de onde fala??
@@marcospereira-uo7tp opa demônio, Manaus!! Sempre apreciando obras infernal!
just the best I've heard of Black Metal \\ m //
Amazing at anytime anywhere for any mood..
Remember picking up this vinyl back in '05
insane riff
Just can't stop listening to that song...
the best composition in black metal
Geradezu eine schwarzmetallische Oper. Was für ein Meisterwerk!
That chilling intro riff started to play in my head and luckily I remembered where it came from. Pest really understood Black Metal
hail!! Greeting From Brazil \\w//
i love it with all my soul
perhaps, the best composition in this genre that I have heard
buy the Album, support true black metal, all hails from Virginia
Got this beautiful bastard on vinyl where the b-side is an English lyric version. One of the best records in my collection.
+Mr. B where'd you get it?
Discogs.
Only listen to the Swedish side 🤣
song makes me wanna take a long drive in my murder ride
Such a God dammed masterpiece
I have this amazing CD. Hail from South Korea.
Grim...cold...true ....
Swervin' all night in my murder ride
Amo este tipo de Black Metal 🤘 es una banda underground
I wish more of Pest's music sounded like this! The rest of their releases are nothing like this.
This one and their black thorns demo are incredible
All Albums are fucking amazing
i wish it was 20 hours tbfh
Same I just play it on a continuous loop.
20 years would have been my cup of tea really
@@Finn-gx6ir 20 millennia would also slap
@@vujicajankovic1961 20 big bangs and it still would be just right like the cherry ontop of my strudel 💖
@@Finn-gx6ir true. It's a timeless masterpiece, literally.
I can't thank the person, who reviewed this for MA back in 2012, enough. If it was not for him/her I''d probably never have heard of this brilliant song.
"Given the enormous number of black metal bands that exist or have existed, it is virtually impossible to sample them all, meaning that there will always be great bands that you won’t ever hear. On top of this, bands themselves can vary greatly in the quality of their releases, so if you are exposed to some of their lower quality material first, you may never avail yourself of the chance to hear their better works. If you limit yourself to full length releases, assuming they are the most worthwhile, you may find this an erroneous assumption and thus miss out on a band’s best material, that may be found on demos, EPs or splits.
Well here I hope to save you from at least one oversight in the form of Pest’s Dauðafærð. You could easily overlook this band if you only heard Desecration or In Total Contempt, thinking that they only produced mediocre black metal; not bad, but not exactly great either (except the track “Descending” from Desecration, that track is great)."
I could listen to this song for eternity.
Essa é definitivamente a melhor música de Black Metal que você possa ouvir. Nada é desmedido, tudo tem seu lugar! É muito belo e ao mesmo tempo representa a selvageria. Tem início (suspense), meio (realização) e fim (como uma descontração melancólica e suave após excitação violenta).
Se você quer apresentar o Black metal a alguém pela primeira vez, comece por essa música. Se quer apresentar algo a alguém que já conhece o gênero, comece por essa música.
Concordo contigo,essa música é surreal,pra mim o melhor som da história do BM.
I have the LP but eventhough it’s sad that this song is not on Spotify.
The outro (18:50) has some blackest of the black metal riffs. Great track.
ich liebe dieses Lied, das ist so genial!
15:15 this part is so beautiful
This experience is just out of this world. 😭
legends like this will dissapear
LYRICS - English Translation -
An eternal shining evening, time is frozen in the dusk
Though in the cold mist of an unknown dawn, I am forever buried in dust
But the stars of an unknown dawn
Bring unhappiness to my dead eyes
I was born in shadows one still night
I was born dead in my youth along with its happiness
I was decorated with enmity, doomed to suffer
I was born in my grave, never to rise again
Deceiving visions beyond the grave as well as the power of the mind
Abominable creatures of glee and insanity
React smiling to rotten carcasses
But I, once more in darkness, sink back down to the dead
I am a dead flame, who still feeds and breeds
I am aflame in blue, my cold breath lost
I was the one forgotten in darkness, far from your road of light
I am in a state of eternal sleep, but I can travel to the world of your dreams
But one day
When the sun in your world descends
And the moon rises over my wastelands
I will breathe the breath of death
The journey you call life
I dwell outside that which you call home
I dwell outside your time and space
I dwell in a reality far from your own
I dwell endlessly and without emotion in the void
But when on the grave
A freezing rain falls from the black sky
When the cold winds sweep over my pale face
And the stillest water bring [not sure what this phrase means]***
Then as the fire no longer burns and as trees no longer grow
I will seek the way out of this world and sink back into mine
I trust in all that is unhuman
I trust in all that doesn’t live
I trust in mockery and a heavy heart
I trust in evil, darkness and death
Life is a journey of death
How do you understand this archaic form of Swedish? Or did you copy this from somewhere? Just curious, as a non-Scandinavian.
@@Byezbozhnik There's a couple of ways -- understanding Old Norse. 10th C is basically old Norse, which has a high degree of mutual intelligibility (at least when written) with old English, and modern Icelandic. I intend on coming back to this to re-write it in old English, but problematically I am extremely lazy, but it's not too dissimilar from what you read in the descrip.
Example, song title:
Modern English: "life is a death-trip/death-journey/journey from life to death/from life to death/etc" can do it a few ways
Old Enligsh: lif is deaðferd
Old Norse: Lifit es dauðafærð
(english retained the -d from proto-germanic 'fardi*' rather than moving to the fricative -th as Old Norse did); early middle English adopted færd from Old Norse incursions in the North, native is fyrd or ferd. It survives in all living Germanic languages with the exception of English, but it is related to the (obviously surviving) word 'far' as in 'to go far'.
@@zeitxgeist Interesting. And now that you mentioned that, modern English words such as fare and ferry also have that origin (I've looked it up to confirm it).
This is monumental dark black metal! Hail!
ima die historic
masterpiece!!!
I freaking love this band I just discovered them THEY ARE MY TYPE OF BLACK METAL I'M FREAKING OBSESSED 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Welcome Sir ✨
@@Cowpig767 I'm a frmale, but thankssss! 🏵️
This is the song i want to play at my funeral
Hellhammer, Bathory y hasta Carpathian fotest pero es en realidad Darkthrone. Estos tipos tienen buen gusto, por eso me gustan a mi.
I wish this would be on spotify
Perfectos esos riffs . . . como me gustan . Fríos y crudos .
0:40 to 2:00 is overwhelming perfection
Beautiful
Meddl 🤗...Och überall zu finden!🐺 Grüße
Una de las mejores canciones de Pest!! Hail
Very fucking awesome seeing the FULL version of this up! I downloaded it myself several months ago. Would LOVE to actually BUY the cd, if it weren't hopelessly out-of-print.
Killer song !
Masterpiece
Sono incazzato come una faina, meno male che il bm esiste porcodio.
Keep the kvlt alive
Powerful. This song is full of strength.
After reading all the masterpiece comments I have to say. They was correct. Superb black metal
Yes yes yes more please!
A great, dark treasure 🤘😈
Old classic masterpiece! \666/
Dark as life..black as death.
Masterpiece!!!
