Týr - Row

Copied!

Row
Row
Row
Row

Lads, you two come with me
We'll set out to sea
Take my advice on
Handlines and the catch
High waves we will ride
That westerly tide
Foreboding skies on the horizon

Rowing this never ending ocean
Growing despair keeps me in motion
Oars groan as waves grow ever stronger
Boards moan, we won't keep up much longer

In this gale
All to no avail
On and on we sail

Through rain, wind and waves
Myself and the knaves
Foresee a cursed night
Shoreless is our woe
The waves beat our prow
But I will not bow
And lose this worst fight
Till the first light
Rowing this never ending ocean
Growing despair keeps me in motion
Oars groan as waves grow ever stronger
Boards moan, we won't keep up much longer

In this gale
All to no avail
On and on we sail
Fighting tooth and nail
Longer in this gale

One whole day and night he rows
All to no avail
Strokes unyielding he bestows
On and on we sail
Upon the lads all hope forlorn
Fighting tooth and nail
His only vow to brave the storm
Longer in this gale

Rowing this never ending ocean
Growing despair keeps me in motion
Oars groan as waves grow ever stronger
Boards moan, we won't keep up much longer
Rowing this slowly calming ocean
Knowing that I gave my devotion
To the best
That's my final quest
Lay me down to rest

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.
