The Edge
Týr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nightfall in my hall, all I can do is recall as I sit alone in the
Darkness, I confess, my part was not any less than whose I was forced to impress

It was a year ago, I left my heart behind to return, with a longing did I burn, I meant to return
And now a year has gone and everything has changed for the worse and it's on me like a curse, things changed for the worse

Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators 'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they're just four blood brothers going over the edge

Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk

I see no other way than on, what will they say when I am gone
I want my memory to be mild, I want it to glow
Upon my pages blood is stained, this way some honour will remain
But I did cause the death of a child both you and I know

And when they came to bleed me dry, I only wonder why did I
On that Easter morn' for the love of my life not vie
Let them kill me just the same, I should have lied and played their game
It is a lesser sin than what I have done since that day

It won't go away, nothing I can say save lay down and pray
What came from within, what came from without,
I can't be about, myself do I doubt ever since that day

Sentenced to the death by the Thing, four conspirators 'gainst our king
Led by Son of the Wolf they're just four blood brothers going over the edge

Eggin tykist mær bert ein gátt, sorgin skipar lagnutáttin
Sjálvur yrkti eg niðurlag, frítt er Eystfellið frá at fara
Brátt er vísan øll og tøgn, hoyrdist tá ið kalda lagnan
Leiddi teir í Runsival, meg bert niðan á hægsta valaknúk

New day, we all pay for our mistakes on our way; lead me up the hillside at
Daybreak, my mistake, don't shed a tear at my wake, just believe it's for my own sake

No turning back now
No tears at my wake, I'll pay for my vow
Just march up the hill till we reach the end




Transmigration calls, I long to ascend
It's for my own sake

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Týr's song "The Edge" tell a story of regret and consequences. The singer is alone in darkness, reflecting on the past year and the decisions that brought them to where they are. They are haunted by the death of a child that they caused, and the fact that they did not fight for the love of their life. The weight of their guilt is like a curse, and they believe that they are sentenced to death for their actions.


The song references the historical event known as the Faroese Civil War, in which four men conspired against the king and were sentenced to death by the Thing (a Faroese governmental assembly). The men were led by a figure known as the Son of the Wolf, and the singer draws a parallel between their situation and his own. He sees himself as one of the four "blood brothers" who are going over the edge.


The singer is resigned to his fate, and asks that no one shed tears at his wake. He knows that he must pay for his mistakes, and is ready to face the consequences. The song ends with a sense of acceptance, as the singer longs to ascend and believes that his sacrifice is for his own sake.

Make sure they at least have it in stock before ordering.

I placed my order in November . I've sent multiple emails asking for a follow and the response is that they are waiting on the brakes. I asked for a refund and the response was " It states delayed shipping on the site"
I understand however if I'm uncomfortable with the delay and have waited a responsible amount of time,which is going on 3 months. I should be entitled to cancel.
I even asked to be switched to a 300 blackout just so I could be done and walk away with no hard feelings and that hasn't happened.
Its ridiculous to say to the consumer they get to keep your $2000 for as long as they feel and offer zero compensation.

I'm fair and if they somehow attempt to turn this around I'll share that info but as of now I'd proceed with caution.

Thanks to tactical rifleman. I hate to leave negative feedback and I'm trying to support a good cause. This has just not been a good experience.

Sounds like a fantastic rifle! I'm very glad you mentioned it's a mid-length gas system in the rifle's description under this video! Watching the video/reading the website info, I couldn't see anywhere whether this is a DI or gas gun...now I know! AIM HIGH!

@Frank Stabler I’ve been waiting since September 2020.. not sure what’s going on but when I call they give me a run around. Next shipment 📦. Summer. Winter. I honestly don’t think it’s good practice but I think I’m going to ask for my money back. Ridiculous for a rifle. And when I bought it, at the time they stated the wait time was 4 months

Frank Stabler

Prepare to wait. I have been waiting nearly a year.
