supurb! i cant get enough of Tyr. hope this doesnt mean the end of them.
the cover art looks amazing- im looking forward to hearing these, has it been released yet or is it still pending? expect its limited? *
mielikki 7.03.10 - 01:56am
It comes out this month. It doesn't mean the end of Tyr. It was to fill time between albums I think. It's been in preparation for 3 years *
aenglisc 7.03.10 - 01:59am
Thats great!. any info on where its to be sold or numbers? *
mielikki 7.03.10 - 02:04am

Is it good? *
aenglisc 10.03.10 - 05:22pm
oh yes. i reckon so. entirely in Faroese, or is it Faroic? obviously it does sound like Tyr in alot of ways, but thats to be expected. .and in noway a minus *
aenglisc 10.03.10 - 05:27pm
Dont ask f a favorite. its far too soon. . .its quit rapid in places. which is nice *
mielikki 10.03.10 - 05:35pm
Faroese. It's similar to Icelandic *
aenglisc 10.03.10 - 05:39pm
yes. ive heard that its believe to be as close enough to old norse to be use as an example to people studdying oldnorse *
mielikki 10.03.10 - 05:41pm
That sounds right. I heard about 3 minutes of one track, seemed promising *
aenglisc 10.03.10 - 05:45pm

aenglisc 14.03.10 - 01:29pm
im sat on bus on way t mothers, listening to these, and was wondering what the start of the track LANGNAN reminded me of, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
besides the thunder and rain obviously *

FEIGDIN
Does a fire deep inside my soul burn,
in my beating chest a bonfire is burning,
and my passion stands in the heroes' halls.
Never felt I had a choice
As indifferent the star mass dizzily far away.
All the time the Cape sees the world cold.
Over the world he throws the coldest silence.
Carry soon the shame is the myth of eternity
A shooting star,
the night breeze,
is just for a while
An ending journey,
is mine in this world.
The path leads to dangerous fire,
where every dying person goes,
untill nobody is left
The sharp northern winds call,
wake me in the night,
when my star from the nights sky fall.
Steep mountain I stood and stared from,
saw a bird dissapear in the northern sea
The mountains seem to prevent me,
stand left when eternity at end is everything.
Is there no one then to stand by my side?
What is left when everything is gone by?
An ending journey,
is mine in this world.
The path leads to dangerous fire,
where every dying person goes,
until nobody is left
Faded fornminni picture,
on top of the mountain,
and now the setting sun is reducing
Sink into the lost ocean.
Cold under the icing ocean.
No one knows where the dying people go
A shooting star,
the night breeze,
is just for a while
An ending journey,
is mine in this world.
The path leads to dangerous fire,
where every dying person goes,
untill nobody is left
Everything in cold silence. The story and myth stands,
about the day where a boy stands melancholic
Walked the severe mountains.
Home to the Heden Heroes' hall.
The fearless wins,
and the fearless loses
SOGN - Is a myth or legend, usually about trolls, forests etc
Fornminni - A plot of land
THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND BIRITA FOR TRANSLATING THIS. SHE SAID IT WAS VERY HARD SO THERE ARE ERRORS *
aenglisc 22.03.10 - 07:21am
Thank her from me too. it doesnt read a poor translation *
ruoska 22.03.10 - 09:30am
I don't know the source text but this seems like a really good translation, beautiful lyrics. *
aenglisc 22.03.10 - 07:57pm
Theyre abit cryptic at first read poetically vaiuge, but appear quite sorrowful and appocolyptic. *
ruoska 23.03.10 - 06:45am
Still I must say that the lyrics are beautiful, in a quite melancholic way *
aenglisc 24.03.10 - 07:22am
i agree 
Meloncholic is a better word f it *
aenglisc 14.07.10 - 06:00am
Listening to it now, could sound a little less like Tyr, may as well have been incorporated as the theme could easily fit Tyr. still a good listen though *
