Mayhem - Life Eternal Lyrics






A dream of another existence
You wish to die
A dream of another world
You pray for death

To release the soul one must die
To find peace inside you must get eternal!

I am a mortal, but am I human?
How beautiful life is now when my time has come
A human destiny, but nothing human inside
What will be left of me when I'm dead?
There was nothing when I lived

What you found was eternal death
No one will ever miss you

    M.... V....

    @No es hate es la verdad lo hice por joder porque siempre veo que ponen eso de dale like si viniste por tal y nada yo solo vine a ver que tal el tema.

  50. D.... M....

    Dead was best black metal vocalist ever.

    D.... M....

    Absolutely not

    D.... M....

    David Michek this is Atilla not Dead

  51. C.... M....

    Dead <3

  52. P.... ....

    "I am a mortal, but am i a human? How beautiful is life now that my time has come"
    It's kinda sad because after he wrote that, he actually killed himself

  53. V.... V....

    Beginning riff sounds like Ninja Gaiden 3 (1991) - Clancy's Theme.

  54. E.... E....

    Prepare 4 death

  55. N.... S....

    All the people praising Snorre "work" here: he didn"t record anything on this album, nor did he write mostly all the stuff as many say. He only made one riff for "From the Dark Past" and that's all!

  56. d.... ....

    These lyrics were written in dead’s suicide the last song he ever wrote Rest In Peace you were to good for this world R.I.P Per Yngve Ohlin 1969-1991 🤘

  57. G.... H....

    โคตรชอบเลย เพลงนี้

  58. M.... S....

    That bassline alongside the complex triplets hellhammer plays, that guitars, the vocals... one of the most perfect songs ever.

  59. D.... W....

    This track describes my life perfectly. My soul is waiting for me on the other side.

    D.... W....

    There is hope!

  60. G.... H....

    กูโคตร ชอบเลยเพลงนี้

  61. S.... ....

    Just beautiful.

  62. A.... d....

    That fucking bass ❤️ varg is genius

    A.... d....

    Varg is a bitch

    A.... d....

    Plus all the basslines on this album were nlt written by Vikernes but by Necrobutcher.

    A.... d....

    @Nicolás Silva Varg said that he made a couple of riffs by himself, because Necrobutcher left and didn't showed what he had written.

    A.... d....

    @Nicolás Silva dickolas saliva

  63. M.... S....

    Ave Satanás hail Lúcifer

    M.... S....

    Hail satan 666

  64. W.... D....

    Musically. This is fantastic but the vocals ruin it for me...sounds like Dave Mustaine!

    W.... D....

    This is what happens when black metal reach the mainstream kids! Go away!

    W.... D....

    @Nicolás Silva absolutely correct

  65. P.... N....

    I am (was) alone at home and listening to this song at night then half of the lights in the living room just went off and a cold breeze passed as soon as this song started. That was kinda spooky.

  66. R.... Y....

    Death metal at its fuckin' best

    R.... Y....

    Its not death metal bruh

  67. X.... D....

    Great solo

  68. A.... M....

    Fuck Attila, this shitty vocals ruined the song

    A.... M....

    Fuck you too

    A.... M....

    You don't like then don't listen
    Poser

    A.... M....

    I think those vocals fit perfectly for the mood of the song

  69. m.... d....

    FUCK YOUR GODS ...

  70. G.... ....

    Atiila couldn´t imagine how much money this album would give him...

  71. A.... C....

    this is the voice of dead???

    A.... C....

    Attila Csihar

  72. T.... ....

    Honour to Euronymous

    T.... ....

    And Dead!

  73. H.... ....

    bad to the bone, b-b-b-b-b-b-bad♪

  74. F.... d....

    SATAN GOD
    SATAN LORD
    SATAN MASTER

  75. S.... K....

    this is sick

  76. H.... ....

    "do what you want with that crap"
    lol dead

  77. G.... ....

    This song is perfect to Dead be on the vocals, Atilla is shit.

    G.... ....

    I agree

    G.... ....

    Fuck off bitch
    You fucking poser

  78. V.... ....

    Ah, black metal in 3/4!

  79. N.... _....

    "No one will ever miss you" si seulement il savait ..

  80. K.... ....

    RIP Dead

  81. 3.... ....

    The last song written by somebody that commits suicide, while the bassist will kill the guitarrist... best song ever.

    3.... ....

    @TerminatorZXY N E V E R T R U S T an hungarian !

    3.... ....

    @TerminatorZXY name please I need to know this band

    3.... ....

    @Funeralflow Sinsaenum

    3.... ....

    @TerminatorZXY No man everyone knows it's slapnuts

    3.... ....

    And the song name is "Life Eternal"...

  82. J.... K....

    insane <3

  83. A.... C....

    who is the vocalist in this song? dead?

    A.... C....

    no Attila is the vocalist in this song

    A.... C....

    Nope. The lyrics are Dead's suicide note. Literally!

  84. V.... ....

    This song is just a masterpiece. You have the lyrics, which portray an image of Dead's perception of himself, an inhuman being trapped in a mortal body, sung by the most amazing Black Metal vocalist, and then we've got the music, Euronymous managing to achieve the darkness he was searching for his whole, yet sadly short, career. Those two elements, combined with Hellhammer's gatling gun-like drumming and Varg's distorted bass lines, result in the best song and best album in the whole Black Metal genre, serving as an inspiration for many more musicians afterwards.

    V.... ....

    Pretty sure Dead was already Dead in the album. There's another version of Freezing Moon which is with Dead's vocals.

    V.... ....

    don't you forget about Attila... he is still one of the best black metal singers and his vocals gives the whole thing super dark atmosphere

    V.... ....

    Vortic u call atila the best BM vocalist tf is wrong with u . dead is 10 times better

  85. b.... ....

    I gotta admit, years ago I was very depressed and listening to a song like this would've been unbearable from the pain it would make me feel, I just could relate to the lyrics so much... but here I am, I got older and I can listen to this without this song getting to me. Life did got a hell of a lot better, and now I even enjoy music like this, instead of being afraid of what it could make me feel :)

    b.... ....

    Happy for you man!

  86. W.... D....

    2:04 to 2:18

  87. N.... ....

    A dream of another existance
    You wish to die
    A dream of another world
    You pray for death

    To release the soul one must die
    To find peace inside you must get eternal

    I am a mortal, but am I human?
    How beautiful life is now when my time has come
    A human destiny, but nothing human inside
    What will be left of me when I'm dead?
    There was nothing when I lived

    What you found was eternal death
    No one will ever miss you

    N.... ....

    dave is that you?

  88. C.... L....

    Happy birthday, Dead.

  89. g.... ....

    that's one crazy band they were. I feel sad for Dead. mercy on his soul.

  90. H.... C....

    did dead do the vocals in this song?

    H.... C....

    Kane Duffell thanks man the lyrics are so good in this song, im guessing thats csihar did the vocals to this album.

    H.... C....

    Hugo C Yup. Attila was on this one.

    H.... C....

    i wish he did the vocals even though attilas vocals are so good.

    H.... C....

    Hugo C Gotta agree. Freezing Moon with Dead on vocals is awesome. Sounds way more raw too.

    H.... C....

    You guys are gonna love the forthcoming boxset. It includes live recordings, demos and 2 live videos, with Dead and Euronymous!!

  91. E.... A....

    Master fucking piece

    E.... A....

    best song on de mysteriis imo

  92. M.... F....

    good bass line varg

  93. I.... G....

    144p tr00 kvlt \m/

    I.... G....

    144p This is Power From Hell!

  94. l.... o....

    Dead was a lyrical genius , ''I am a mortal but am I human ?'' , ''A human destiny but nothing human inside'' just 10/10!

    l.... o....

    @Math Ias So non-natives can't sing in english? Have you lived under a rock until now or something?

    l.... o....

    Felix Müller so all the band from all around the world are singing in english, participating to the destruction of diversity of language, and feeding the USA's capital, and I dare questionning it ???? Oh my !

    l.... o....

    @Math Ias Or English just sounds better. Have you ever tried writing a song on your own? English just works better for some people

    l.... o....

    Northbound Wolf yes I did. At the beginning, it is more easy to write in English because some shitty things seems to sound less worse, for we are used to this shit. But the laziness is not the better way.
    And why does ''English sounds better'' ? Did you ever considered it politically ? Do you think that's innocent ? Think about it, for once.

    l.... o....

    @Math Ias No it's because english has a unique linguistic sound to it (Just as all languages have) that just happens to sound pretty nice in a musical sense to alot of people.

    Besides, some things are actually allowed to be accessible to people who don't speak a specific language with less than 10million living speakers you absolute trve-wannabe

  95. J.... P....

    Dead not is dead !!

  96. A.... n....

    auhh vikernes

  97. D.... R....

    there are many who can growl, but no one can growl like Csihar. Guy's a fucking necromancer, i tell you!

    D.... R....

    But attilas vocals is more theatrical

    D.... R....

    While most Black Metal singers just scream out their lungs into the microphone (potato), Attila employs actual throat singing technique, which requires skills. It's far better than a lot of other vocalists of the same genre and it works great with the atmosphere Mayhem's trying (and succeeding) to create. I am glad he came back in 2004, replacing Maniac.

    D.... R....

    I think Attila on vocals for this album was the best choice. He is "summoning" forth the lyrics which Dead wrote, and does so in a completely otherworldly, "dead" way. Like, as you said, a necromancer in trance. The thing most people don't realize is, that the vocals on the album have been lowered in terms of pitch, as had the instruments, to hide Varg's bass line, and also, probably, to make it "sound more evil". This also hides some of the interesting melodies Attila came up with. The normal version of the album has been uploaded, I notice. The "pitch raised" version.

    D.... R....

    viki2133 no. Most black metal vocalist use the power of stomach and throat. Attila uses the lungs. And maniac uses The throat

    D.... R....

    Especially on the Cursed in Eternity song in the last part Attila kills it.
