lyrics

Wie ein karges Lächeln

Wie ein alter Schatten voller Sehnsucht
in deinem Kopf das Sehen sucht
Fern der hies'gen Welt
Fern des Lichtes karg

Allzulang' er sich verbarg
Bis sein Gefängnis nun - zerfällt

In kahlen Wänden wirst du lächeln
wenn der Hall in deinem Schädel tobt
Wie verfluchtest du - was immer du auch warst
Was immer du auch warst - und was du bist

Den inner' Krieg im Kopf gefangen
Kreatur der fremden Schatten
Speist den Hass in dich hinein
Um deinen Wahnsinn zu befreien

Geht zugrund' was dort schon lag
Das Licht sich längst schon dort verbarg
Vom Schattengrau im Rot zerfetzt
Das Blut sich nun am Grund zersetzt

Zwischen allem Denken
legt sich still - der Gedanke nun zur Ruh

Und die Zeit steht still
Der Krieg bricht aus
Die Zeit bricht ein

Neben Schädelsplittern
legt das Denken sich zur ruh - den Gedanken ab
Karg - was war
Karg - was bleibt

Wie ein karges Lächeln
Wenn der Tod in deinem Schädel thront

Menschenmühle

supported by 35 fans who also own “Wie ein karges Lächeln”

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 edoerfler

Six Voices Inside

This album rocks! Has a great atmosphere. I really enjoy this type of BM that is more meditative, with excellent riffs. Love the sound of the guitar and drums. That snare drum hit is perfect. I am looking forward to future releases. Might be my new fav band! jschmid20

Om hundrede år
by AFSKY

supported by 20 fans who also own “Wie ein karges Lächeln”

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! David Fischer

I fucking love this band. 100% guaranteed that if you opened me up and listened to the sound of my crazy ass black metal heart, it would most likely sound something like this 🤣🖤 bcb723
