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
Iak dvælium ænda laust auk kændaƦ laust ī tōmlæiki

En hvenǽr ā grafaƦ

ískalt kulda regn frā hifnum svǫrtum fællr
hvenǽr vindaƦ hiniƦ kaldu fǫlu andliti mīnu svæipa
ok kverrasta vatni mægingráða væita
Þā sum æildaƦ æigi længƦ brinna auk tré né længƦ vaxa
skat iak læið mīna úƦ hæimi þæimsi sǿkia auk niðr ī mīnu sænkvas

Iak trøysti ā allt sum þøygi es manlíkt
Iak trøysti allu sum æigi lifiƦ
Iak trói ā hǫð auk lyndi svárt
Iak trói ā vǭnzku, myrkƦ auk dauð

Lífit es dauða færð

One of the greatest BM songs ever written, amazing composition, great theme and lyrics in 10th century Swedish Norse (!)... masterpiece!

Dexusaz

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 🖤

Cowpig

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.

elcacahuatel

one of the rare best songs ever recorded in history

zymolusts.ravenson

One of the best songs ever created. Another confirmation that there's no musical genre like Black Metal.

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.

dissaor

I've never been happier as I am right now hailing Pest.

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

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 can comprehend the darkness of life and existence can appreciate it. Twenty minutes of musical variations and nuances within a dark, grey, hopeless mood pattern. This is art at its highest. It is probably a privilege to have discovered such a magnum opus.

This needs a 20 year anniversary rerelease

This may truly be the best 20 minutes of BM in history

blackmetalraider

so_tired_of_you_all

The excellence in music greats riffs, is a masterpiece. Hail, hail, hail, PEST!!

moisesreyna

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.
