-----------------Lyrics--------------------
The answers you seek are hidden beyond grasp
While the dreams you bleed are mated with failure
Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch
…And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark
The shadows you feed are those you crawl in
While the wounds you heal are the gates to grief
Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch
…And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark
I surpassed my chance to end this a long time ago
Tempting dreams of sin are nothing
but a shadow of the past
Faltering weak towards the void with nothing
but emptiness in my heart.
In this vastness i am only reflected
into the undiluted sea of forlornness
Deathless falling towards the eternal darkness
Strengthless flawing towards the gleaming loneliness

-----------------Lyrics--------------------
Our wretched bodies serve no purpose
They collapse while we scream and perish
as we fall from favor to failure
They withhold us from the fate of flesh
Pregnant with darkness there is only fear
Standing now before another grave
Feeling like a lesser being shrouded by the cold
Womblike silence in the dead of night
Where fire awaits
The only throne will be claimed by death
Where the sun haunts
The only dream we are capable of
Where fire awaits
We are petrified beneath a brutal will
To loose one after another in time
And nothing will ever change
An abhorrent swarm will fill this world
You see the shadow in the fire
When even weak will falls apart
As you hear the truthful heartbeat fade
Sentient flesh bounden to flesh
For we all have been deceived
We can all fall into the dark
Now only fire awaits
For a futile faith lingers deep
In the unsettling depths
Abide the hoists of winter
Now only fire awaits
When the sky unfolds and kneels
before the beast in the remnants of times
Seeing beyond solitude, sorrow and grief
There is exaltation to be gained
Once we sacrifice soma to flame

All That Has Never Been True
by ULTHA
supported by 62 fans who also own “Of Fainting Faith In Futile EP”
One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

While Ofte jeg drømmer mig død will most likely always be my favourite Afsky album (being one ov my favourite albums in general), Om hundrede år ticks all the boxes I hoped it would: the calm and simultaneously depressing folk elements are there; the wailing screams of a forlorn spirit, forced to eternally wander the woods (apt comparison, deadpunk!); the harsh, bitterly cold guitar riffs and the ultimate realisation of life, death and our inevitable undoing. Exactly what I want. Recommended!
