Lyrics: Heri Joensen
Music: Heri Joensen / Traditional Faroese melodies

(english translation)

And whoever reigns these cliffs, did not defeat the wind
They held the tiller when the storm broke loose
Steer into the wind, shouted one and united they
pulled the tiller, but all in vain

The course has been set, carved in stone
And are we satisfied when the tale is told

And does your ship advance regardless of what you want
They fought over the rudderless tiller
And still we hold the tiller as we
Think we are free, thrallborn unconsulted so

We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains

Drenched and weary by the northwestern
storm, and the winds rages in Midgard
To Asgard where the Ash stood, like the
threads of life then flapped in the breeze

We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains

And plains, knowing what goal we are capable of living
And destiny draws slowly, we drift to meet it

We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains

Well aware of the course of destiny but it is
comforting that choice is before us
Countless your possible courses, but
discomforting that the choice has been made,
only one course

The course has been set, carved in stone
And are we satisfied when the tale is told

[TyvenRo]

I have a question about this song. I stumbled upon this one and watch?v=oNtJvfGORVk Are these both the same songs? Stupid question but since I can't understand the language and sung different I can't really tell.

[sagaYagoVideo]

@TyvenRo Not's the same song.

[ponchodrum11]

TYR: AN AMAZING BAND!!...there aren't words to describe this band *_*

[gpacex]

never heard of these guys till a week ago... love the tunes even though i have no clue as to what the F*** they are singing about... some good shit!!

[SeleucidEmperor]

@gpacex there asatru odin worshippers like me

[Exsosus]

This is similair to the old Viking music from history. Oh my God it is good.

[Exsosus]

Oh my God this is so epic.

[jkats14]

God this song and these pictures are beautiful. 

[berserkur19]

@grundin3 that is not what the song is about at all! i have read that story too(rannvá).. the song is about life actually,that no matter what you try to accomplish,you cannot escape from the ultimate fate-death

the song is also about christianity,which Heri(the singer) is against.he says that we are slaves to itthe song is also very deep,so you cant really explain what some of it is about,because he uses old poems and parts of old songs,but i think youre supposed to use your imagination

[aGeilini]

six mounts have passed, in which you have hold Grundin3's explanation as truth. and i must but you on the right track again. you are/where right! grundin3 has seriously mixed this song, with a Faroese novel from the 50's. this song is all about the bravery of Norse in the open seas.

i'm Faroese by the way.

[grundin3]

it was not to be rude but naw you now what the song is aboud
