Hel Hath No Fury
TYR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And good times always come to an end
Here at the dawn of a day a painful path
Unfolds before my eyes
So if you will, mortal men, remain
Fly me away, chooser of the slain
Above the blood drenched fields
I pulled her arrow from out my heart
We wandered already worlds apart
And I have seen the heavens hold no rage
Like love to hatred turned
The gods may grant me a brighter day
There's more where that came from anyway
Life holds no promises nor Hel a fury
Like a woman scorned
Faith was the star that fell
It may forebode our last farewell
Still others shine their height
And hopeful light on distant shores at dawn
Our days are all but a ghost of grey
And I am already far away
For I have walked alone in shadow
Since my goddess has withdrawn
I pulled her arrow from out my heart
We wandered already worlds apart
And I have seen the heavens hold no rage
Like love to hatred turned
The gods may grant me a brighter day
There's more where that came from anyway
Life holds no promises nor Hel a fury
Like a woman scorned
Life holds no promises nor Hel a fury
Like a woman scorned
The lyrics to Týr's song Hel Hath No Fury are about heartbreak and moving on from a painful relationship. The song begins with the acknowledgement that some things cannot be fixed and that everything has an end, even good times. The singer is faced with a painful path before their eyes and wishes to be flown away from it all. They call upon the chooser of the slain, who is associated with the Norse god Odin, to take them away from the blood-drenched fields of battle and towards a brighter future.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the pain that the singer is going through, comparing the fury of a woman scorned to that of the Norse goddess of the underworld, Hel. The singer declares that life holds no promises and that they have already walked alone in the shadows since their goddess has withdrawn. The second verse of the song builds on this theme, with the singer reflecting on their relationship that has already ended. They have seen love turn to hatred and they hold onto the hope that the gods may grant them a brighter day. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing once again the fury of a woman scorned.
Overall, Hel Hath No Fury is a powerful and emotional song about heartbreak and moving on. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and references to Norse mythology, creating a unique and engaging story.
Line by Line Meaning
Some things we cannot mend
There are some things that cannot be fixed
And good times always come to an end
All good things must come to an end
Here at the dawn of a day a painful path
At the beginning of this new day, I am faced with a difficult journey
Unfolds before my eyes
My path is revealing itself to me
So if you will, mortal men, remain
If you humans choose to stay here
Fly me away, chooser of the slain
Take me away, Valkyrie
Above the blood drenched fields
Above the battlefields covered in blood
Of furious battle high the fairest flies
The most beautiful things can be found in the midst of chaos
I pulled her arrow from out my heart
I removed the arrow she shot into my heart
We wandered already worlds apart
We have already grown distant from each other
And I have seen the heavens hold no rage
I have witnessed that the wrath of the heavens does not compare to the anger of love turned to hate
Like love to hatred turned
The transformation of love to hate is a powerful thing
The gods may grant me a brighter day
The gods might bless me with a better future
There's more where that came from anyway
There are plenty of other opportunities
Life holds no promises nor Hel a fury
Life makes no guarantees, just as the Norse goddess Hel is not always vengeful
Like a woman scorned
Similar to the wrath of a woman who has been betrayed
Faith was the star that fell
My faith has been shaken
It may forebode our last farewell
It could signify our final goodbye
Still others shine their height
Other stars continue to shine brightly
And hopeful light on distant shores at dawn
Bringing hope and light to new horizons
Our days are all but a ghost of grey
Our days have lost their vibrancy
And I am already far away
I have already distanced myself
For I have walked alone in shadow
I have been walking alone in darkness
Since my goddess has withdrawn
Since the one I worship has left me
Life holds no promises nor Hel a fury
Life makes no guarantees, just as the Norse goddess Hel is not always vengeful
Like a woman scorned
Similar to the wrath of a woman who has been betrayed

This band is absolutely brilliant. I have loved that Faroese folk element that they entwined with pounding metal since I first heard Ormurin Langi back in 2002 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤

This is probably my favorite song by Tyr and I think it's the song that got me into the band.

That's good to hear :) Unfortunately this has not been one of our hits, and we have not played it live. Maybe that will change :)
