meðan eg man kvøða
Um teir ríku kongarnar
sum eg vil nú um røða
Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Hundings synir í randargný
teir skaðan gørdu har
Eitur var í svørinum
teir bóru móti mær
Fávnir eitur ormurin
á Glitrarheiði liggur
Regin er ein góður smiður
fáum er hann dyggur
Hann var sær á leikvøllum
imillum manna herjar
Rívur upp eikikelvi stór
hann lemjir summar til heljar
Eystantil undri heyginum
ið dreingir eyka tal
Dimmur er hesin dapri dagur
niður í mold at fara
Har komm maður á vøllin fram
eingin ið hann kendi
Síðan hatt á høvdi bar
og finskan boga í hendi
Har komm maður á vøllin fram
hann vá við eggjateini
Eyga hevði hann eitt í heysi
knept var brók at beini
Ormurin er skriðin av gullinum
tað man frættast víða
Sjúrður setist á Granar bak
hann býr seg til at ríða
Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Grani bar gullið av heiði

The song Regin Smiður by Týr is a tribute to the ancient Norse mythology and the powerful kings who have ruled the land. The lyrics tell the story of an epic battle between two mythical creatures - the dragon Fafnir and the warrior Sigmundr, who rides on the back of his trusted horse Grani. The song begins with the singer asking the people to listen to his tale of the mighty kings, and then goes on to describe the events leading up to the decisive battle. The horse Grani, fiercely loyal to his master, carries him boldly into battle against the dragon. Even though the dragon is powerful, Sigmundr emerges victorious, defeating him with the help of his trusty sword, and reclaiming the gold that the dragon had hoarded. The song draws inspiration from the rich Icelandic and Norse mythology of the past, and celebrates the bravery and heroism of the legendary warriors who have walked this land.

Will you now listen
Whilst I will sing.
About the rich kings
That I will now speak of
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
Hundings sons at war,
They did damage there
Poison was in the sword,
They carried against me
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
Fafnir is the name of the dragon
That lies on the Glittering Heath
Regin is a good blacksmith,
To few is he faithful
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He was on the fields of play,
Rages amongst men
He tears up large oak trunks,
He maims some to Hell
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
On the eastern side under the mound
Where heroes grow in numbers
Dark is this sad day
Down in mould to go
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
A man stepped forward upon the field
No one knew him
He had a wide hat on his head,
And a Finnish bow in his hand
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
A man stepped forward upon the field
Raging with his sword
He had one eye
And trouser legs were buttoned
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
The dragon has slithered of the gold,
It is rumoured widely
Sigfried seats himself on Greyfells back,
He prepares himself to ride
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold away from the heath

I heard the acoustic Northern Lights and the Faroe National Anthem then I heard By The Light Of The Northern Star and went home and binged Týr starting with this song.... fun fact this song is also done by a woman and her son...I love her song Lifeblood.

Same here!
I found them on Spotify for 10-12 years ago. It was for 10 year old me a very magic experience!
Noel Allen Bose
My first Tyr song. It helped me overcome my depression from dropping in law school back in 2010. Now, I'm on my 3rd of being a lawyer. Thank you, Tyr. Thank you glittering heath!

Strength bro! Whats the Norse god of justice?
Noel Allen Bose
@J Tyr!
J
@Noel Allen Bose i thought tyr was War? Sounds about right though
Noel Allen Bose
@J also war. Forseti is also a god of justice. Some Norse gods tend to overlap roles.
