Týr - Dragons Never Die

Copied!

Long ago and far away a lindwyrm lay upon his hoard
No spear or sword could scratch a scale
Some gilded tale drew lads and lords
Enticed towards enormous hoards high on gold

And I too would want to try
The lindwyrm I will defy
But one look into his eye
I knew, dragons never die

Whoever said and they lived happily forever after lied
For tale and time go on no matter if I fail or find the
Unimaginable hoard high on gold

And I too would want to try
The lindwyrm I will defy
But one look into his eye
I knew, dragons never die

I knew, dragons never die
The lindwyrm I will defy
But one look into his eye
I knew, dragons never die

My own shadow soul will fly
I take to the stormy sky
Dragons never die

Biography

edit bio

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.
