Lyrics:
Hammertheft and all the world bereft
Of reason and of right overnight
Left between a tyrant's temper mean
And treason and betrayal, cold and stale
Hue and cry, I can't sit idly by
We're hostages to greed, intercede

All you have is illgotten gain
You stand only for your own
Any man may throw you off the throne
Seat will not be set for thee
At the league of free nations
May this mark the end of your reign
Let the lay of Thrym be heard
Leave no tyrant out there undeterred
Thunderstruck theocracy
This theodicy heathen
In the end the giant was slain

Hammer home to any despots dome
That tales of tyranny end with me
Hue and cry, I can't sit idly by
We're hostages to greed, intercede

All you have is illgotten gain
You stand only for your own
Any man may throw you off the throne
Seat will not be set for thee
At the league of free nations
May this mark the end of your reign
Let the lay of Thrym be heard
Leave no tyrant out there undeterred
Thunderstruck theocracy
This theodicy heathen
In the end the giant was slain

@IconoclastZeitgeist @NouMPSy Stop arguing over the internet, it's pointless.

[pokepoop]

@OlagHai So until I kill a rat, I can't understand metal?

[swearwordssmokybacon]

God is dead... long live TÝR!

[skjaldulfr]

@OlagHai If you poisoined it then you didn't "shed it's blood", or actively kill it in any way. You haven't even hunted large game? Kill a human, then you can pretend to be experienced. But anyway, that's irrelevant. I probably shouldn't pick on you for this comment, everyone else is. I just can't help myself. I like your name though, Olag-Hai, fuck yeah.

LOL

@OlagHai I even shed *my own* blood every month to ensure the continued existence of my kind, it's very metal. Also, I'm a blood donor, so I'm literally a bloody hero.

Comment section became a place for comic relief from what I gathered..

[arveanor91]

@OlagHai BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, OTHER PEOPLE THINK THAT METALHEADS ARE DISGUSTING SO KEEP YOUR MURDERS FOR YOU

[OlagHai]

@arveanor91 well it's got to be somebodies problem and it's clearly not yours

[molan1998oif]

nicely composed, this song is... I could listen to it for hours... makes me feel closer to the Gods

[arveanor91]

@OlagHai My English it's not your problem, stop with your bullshit on this epic music, go away to hunt rats

[OlagHai]

@arveanor91 Apparently English isn't for you either
