Fields Of The Fallen
TYR Lyrics

The lyrics of Týr's song "Fields of the Fallen" seem to be about the pursuit of glory and success, though it warns against being preoccupied with it. The first verse reflects this balance; the "ways of the wary and the ordinary" won't take up all of the singer's time and waste all of their days. The use of the lyre as part of the song's imagery suggests that the pursuit of glory and success is an artistic one, and that it may not come to everyone. However, the singer urges those listening to follow them to the fields of the fallen, where fallen legends lie. If they suddenly join in their numbers, to say their last goodbye and bring with them the word of the victory they achieved.

The second verse reflects an even stronger sense of determination. The singer wants to make the entire world theirs, and warns that anyone trying to steal their thunder will fail. Despite this, the Fields of the Fallen remain the true goal. The chorus repeats the warning to say goodbye should they suddenly join the fallen legends, but emphasizes that the lucky will leave with the word of their victory.

Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the pursuit of glory and success, and the enduring legacy of those who have achieved it. While there is a sense of warning against being too preoccupied with it, there is also an acknowledgement of the power of success and the importance of the legends who achieve it.
