Tyr - By The Light Of The Northern Star

 
1
Copied!
In the mass grave of mythology lie the legends of the past
Discarded superstitions
Although once held high both in honour and in awe

Now they have fallen too far to rise, and closed their eyes
The time and the tide

From yearning years of want on to dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out to swift seas of raid
We have sailed by the light of the northern star

The northern night has never seen
The southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star

May the mighty Mjølnir nail the bleeding
And naked Nazarene upon the pagan planks
Pound in the painful nails now and hang him high and dry

Or have we fallen too far to rise and closed our eyes
The time and the tide

From yearning years of want on to dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out to swift seas of raid
We have sailed by the light of the northern star

The northern night has never seen
The southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star

Have we fallen too far to rise and closed our eyes
The time and the tide

From yearning years of want on to dark days of wane
We have walked by the light of the northern star
From frozen fjords of rime out to swift seas of raid
We have sailed by the light of the northern star

The northern night has never seen
The southern cross shine bright
Across the colder seas under rain ridden skies
We go on by the light of the northern star

Biography

Týr is a power metal band hailing from the Faroe Islands, known for their unique sound and thematic focus on Norse mythology and Viking culture. The band was formed in January 1998 when Heri Joensen met Kári Streymoy at a party in Copenhagen, Denmark. Despite initial reluctance, Streymoy eventually agreed to join Joensen in forming the band, with bassist Gunnar Thomsen soon joining the lineup.

The band takes its name from Týr, the Norse god of justice, and their music is heavily inspired by Norse mythology and Viking traditions. In the early days of their career, Týr released their debut album "How Far to Asgaard" through the Faroese label Tutl. However, it was their album "Eric the Red," dedicated to Erik the Red, that caught the attention of Napalm Records, leading to a distribution deal and international recognition.

Throughout their career, Týr has toured extensively across Europe and the United States, sharing the stage with bands like Ensiferum, Eluveitie, Turisas, Moonsorrow, and Korpiklaani. They have released several acclaimed albums, including "Ragnarok," "Land," "By the Light of the Northern Star," "The Lay of Thrym," and "Valkyrja."

In 2012, Týr signed a contract with Metal Blade Records, further solidifying their place in the metal music scene. Their album "Valkyrja," released in 2013, tells the story of a Viking warrior who meets his demise in battle and is escorted to the afterlife by Valkyries. The album features covers of songs by Iron Maiden and Pantera, showcasing Týr's unique take on classic metal tracks.

With their distinctive sound and powerful storytelling, Týr continues to captivate audiences around the world with their epic tales of Norse mythology and Viking lore.
