The Hammer of Thor
TYR Lyrics

Mercy, spare me, I was just jesting
I apologize and ask for forgiveness, as my previous phrase was not meant to cause any harm or offense.

Didn't mean to cut all her hair off
I did not intend to harm or offend anyone, as my actions were not premeditated or malicious.

Listen, I will make the sons of Iwald forge her, you won't regret this

New hair, see here, Dwarves are fine craftsmen
Look at the new hairstyle, it is a testament to the skill of Dwarven craftsmen.

Simple, you know, they may let me
It is a straightforward solution that even you can understand, and the Dwarves may be willing to help me.

Stand by, setting their souls on fire
Prepare to ignite the passions and emotions of those around you.

My my, watching the world

Go through mischief and Malice and the woes of war

Still some things are worth fighting for

Forge now your finest weapons
