Týr - Battle Ballad

Copied!

Sing me a song I didn't hear for long
Sing, lest I go anywhere winds may blow
Tell me the tale wherein I may prevail
Tell, lest I fall into the void with all I hold dear

Walking blind along the ridge
Guided onward by a legend relived in a rhyme

Before us a long journey calls
Over land and over time
While echo in desolate halls
Songs we sang when in our prime

Bloody battle ballads call on the wasted warrior
Reach up and rise from your fall

Sing us thе song we didn't hear for long
Sing us the chancе only one day to dance on the edge
Of fear, of hope, lead by a legend relived in a rhyme

Before us a long journey calls
Over land and over time
While echo in desolate halls
Songs we sang when in our prime

Our hero must ever endure
Oceans deep and mountains high
Songs from an adventurous tour
Still resound across the sky
Bloody battle ballads call on the fallen fighter
Rise and recover it all

An eternal legend relived in a rhyme

Before us a long journey calls
Over land and over time
Still echo in desolate halls
Songs we sang when in our prime

Our hero must ever endure
Oceans deep and mountains high
Songs from an adventurous tour
Ever sound across the sky

Bloody battle ballads call on the heathen hero
Ravaged but still standing tall

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.
