(lol, that’s all i can say to this song)

Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Fairing far
Sword by side

Tribal times
Northern nights
Hidden high
Runic rites

I was told…

Hold the Heathen Hammer High
Hold the Heathen Hammer High
Hold the Heathen Hammer High

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Evertrueuntoyourforefather’sstalwartstay

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Downthewaywardwaysofarfairingstrangersstray

Hold the Heathen Hammer High

Weather wild
Blackened blade
Angry eyes
Ruthless raid

Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Fairing far
Sword by side

Hard and cold…

Hold the Heathen Hammer High
Hold the Heathen Hammer High
Hold the Heathen Hammer High

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Evertrueuntoyourforefather’sstalwartstay

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Downthewaywardwaysofarfairingstrangersstray

Hold the Heathen Hammer High

From a pagan past that only the heathen hold
From the far end of the world and of times untold
I bring message to your mind of the ways of old
Ways reluctantly abandoned, if truth be told

Ways abandoned for a scavenger of our souls
Living on malicious lies, hiding in the holes
Cruel and credible as any our tale of trolls
Hold the Heathen Hammer highest of all your goals

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Evertrueuntoyourforefather’sstalwartstay

Hold the Heathen Hammer High with a battle-cry
ForthepaganpastIliveandonedaywilldie
Hold the Heathen Hammer High, never turn away
Downthewaywardwaysofarfairingstrangersstray

Hold the Heathen Hammer High
Hold the Heathen Hammer High

Týr - Hold the Heathen Hammer High

Adorned Brood - Hold the Heathen Hammer High [live]

(this song gives me bad memories from high school)

Nightfall
In my hall
All I can do is recall
As I sit alone in the…

Darkness
I confess
My part was not any less
Than whose I was forced to impress

It was a year ago
I left my heart behind to return!
With a longing did I burn, I meant to return
And now a year has gone
And everything has changed for the worse!
And it’s on me like a curse, things changed for the worse

Sentenced to the death by the Thing
Four conspirators ‘gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they’re just
Four blood brothers going over the Edge

Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk

I see no other way than on
What will they say when I am gone?
I want my memory to be mild
I want it to glow

Upon my pages blood is stained
This way some honor will remain
But I did cause the death of a child
Both you and I know

And when they came to bleed me dry
I only wonder why did I
On that Easter morn’ for the love of
My life not vie

And let them kill me just the same
I should have lied and played their game
It is a lesser sin than what I
Have done since that day

It won’t go away
Nothing I can say
Save lay down and pray
What came from within
What came from without
I can’t be about
Myself do I doubt
Ever since that day

Sentenced to the death by the Thing
Four conspirators ‘gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they’re just
Four blood brothers going over the Edge

Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk

New day
We all pay
For our mistakes on our way
Lead me up the hillside at

Daybreak
My mistake
Don’t shed a tear at my wake
Just believe it’s for my own sake

No turning back now
No tears at my wake
I’ll pay for my vow
Just march up the hill
Till we reach the end
Transmigration calls
I long to ascend
It’s for my own sake

No turning back now
No tears at my wake
I’ll pay for my vow
Just march up the hill
Till we reach the end
Transmigration calls
I long to ascend
It’s for my own sake

Týr - The Edge

Ways of the wary
And the ordinary
Won’t take all my time
Waste all my days
Let me rephrase

All expire
I live by the lyre
Follow me

To the Fields of the Fallen
Where the legends lie
Should you suddenly join in their numbers
Say the last goodbye

From the Fields of the Fallen
Where the lucky leave
And bring with them the word of the victory
That they did achieve

Riches and glory
Who will tell my story?
There, over the hill
Wide is the world
Make it all mine

Steal my thunder
Your world will go under
Follow me

To the Fields of the Fallen
Where the legends lie
Should you suddenly join in their numbers
Say the last goodbye

From the Fields of the Fallen
Where the lucky leave
And bring with them the word of the victory
That they did achieve

To the Fields of the Fallen
Where the legends lie
Should you suddenly join in their numbers
Say the last goodbye

From the Fields of the Fallen
Where the lucky leave
And bring with them the word of the victory
That they did achieve

To the Fields of the Fallen
Where the legends lie
Should you suddenly join in their numbers
Say the last goodbye

From the Fields of the Fallen
Where the lucky leave
And bring with them the word of the victory
That they did achieve

Týr - Fields of the Fallen

(yesterday was my brother’s birthday. He turned 21, you know what that means?)

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

Where I’m walking alone
Thirst is my worst enemy
My measure of mead
Treasure in need
Up to the brim

One down on the heart can feel like the rain
Crying on dry desert sand
My story is sad
Nothing to add
Days have been dim

Drink while you are able

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

I have squandered my days
Cold is the gold in my grip
Dark mold on my mouth
All I have found
Deep in a jar

Too many a drunk poet has praised
Ale in a failed fairy tale
My measure of mead
Treasure in need
Up to the brim

Drink while you are able

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

Aevi mín er eintómt hlaup
Efter Brennivíni
Geturðu sett á glasið í Staup
Gömlu Fyllisvíni

Týr - Brennivín

Essence…Divergence…Freedom…Dependence…
Where to…belong to…I’m longing…belongings…
What to…relate to…Our nations try
My patience dry, relations lie that

This is our essence, there’s no way behind the
Back wall of us all, and there’s no way round the
Side walls of mind halls, hide behind the curtains’
Thick folds and grow old, never know for certain

How things would be
If you were to be free
And how high you could fly
If you’d really try

Go tell the world we’re coming
Just a matter of belief and space and time
‘Till we’re gonna ride the wind of changes
Sail the seas of this immense millennium

Now sharpen your old axes
Shine your armors and your sword of sight and sound
My warriors, let’s go down together
Time will tell us whether we will do or die

Our destiny is calling
Calling
Falling

Falling off the world and down we’re hurled
You know the word
There’s no use in hiding, destiny will find you
Running or fighting, it’s always right behind you

How things would be
If you were to be free
And how high you could fly
If you’d really try

Týr - Alive

(back to the good music!!!)

Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run
I’m swept away down distant paths, the road goes on
From the halls of the free to the tower of torment
Where treasures lie in mountains high

The silent fields of stars so far and wide
The oceans of infinity, the great divide
In the heavens on high is a light so lonely
The Evening Star that shines so far

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star has shone thus far

River rushing, waters wide, just north of there
Oh would that I was home again and home was here
And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper
You’re home again, on roofs the rain

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star has shone thus far

When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star to me you are

Týr - Evening Star
