Read Full Bio ↴The profile you are looking for is here: Týr. It's a diacritics problem.
Týr began in January 1998. Heri Joensen met his old bandmate, Kári Streymoy, at a party in Copenhagen, Denmark. Joensen suggested to Streymoy that they should meet up and jam. Streymoy initially declined, but later took him up on his offer.
They were soon joined by another former bandmate, bassplayer Gunnar H. Thomsen, making the duo a trio. They began making music which was heavily inspired by Norse mythology, Faroese traditional music, and heavy metal music in general. According to the band's frontman Heri Joensen, Týr's "musical mission is to break down the walls that are erected between all the kinds of metal that have arisen over the years. Power-, doom-, black-, progressive-, gothic-, viking-, folk-, ethnic- and epic metal. Walls and labels do nothing but fill people with prejudice."[1]
The name of the band comes from Týr, a Norse god. Before Týr, Joensen and Thomsen formed their first band, at the age of seventeen. They called themselves Cruiser. Streymoy also played with them for a short while. They later changed their name to Wolfgang. Although neither band released any albums, Wolfgang lasted until 2000, which was long enough to record an undisclosed amount of songs that, according to Joensen are "pretty much ready to release.[2]"
Týr was a part of the Paganfest tour in Europe and the US in 2008, with Ensiferum headlining. Other bands on the tour included Eluveitie, Turisas in the US, and Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani joined them on the European part of the tour.
Alive
Týr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where to belong to, I'm longing, belongings
What to relate to, our nations try, my
Patience dry, relations lie that
This is our essence, there's no way behind the
Back wall of us all, and there's no way round the
Side walls of mind halls, hide behind the curtains
Thick folds and grow old, never know for certain
How things would be if you were to be free
And how high you could fly if you'd really try
Go tell the world we're coming, just a matter
Of belief and space and time
Till were gonna ride the wind of changes, sail
The seas of this immense millennium
Now sharpen your old axes, shine your
Armours and your sword of sight and sound
My warriors, let's go down together, time will
Tell us whether we will do or die
Our destiny is calling, calling, falling
Falling off the world and down we're hurled
You know the word
There's no use in hiding, destiny will find you
Running or fighting, it's always right behind you
How things would be if you were to be free
And how high you could fly if you'd really try
The lyrics of Týr's song "Alive" seem to delve into the idea of existence and identity, questioning where one belongs and what one relates to while experiencing feelings of dependence, longing, and dry patience. The singer highlights the importance of understanding one's essence and accepting the limitations placed upon them while also acknowledging the uncertainty of what could happen if they were to break free from those limitations.
The lyrics make reference to a feeling of being trapped by the walls of one's own mind, where hiding behind the "curtains" seem to represent the fear of the unknown and the comfort found in remaining in familiar spaces. However, the song encourages listeners to embrace change and face their destiny head-on, rather than trying to run or hide from it. It suggests that through belief, space, and time, one can ride the winds of change and sail through the seas of life's challenges.
The chorus encourages listeners to imagine what their lives could be like if they were to break free from their limitations and really try to fly, while also acknowledging that destiny will always catch up to them, whether they are running or fighting it.

I feel like this should have been a cinematic cutscene, this is way too big of a deal to be just like any other random encounter, but I'm glad he's the real one
THADZ
Yeah it was just like
"Yo you frfr?"
"Yeah bro"
"ok bro"

A hugely important plot point that will play into the next game and they just made it an end game mission a lot of players might miss 😂

@Chiggz if tyr was revealed in this way, it is because he simply will not have any relevance in future games.

It's no wonder why Odin was able to kept his cool right until the end. The one who defied fate wasn't Kratos or Atreus. It was Odin. The prophecy stated that Tyr will be the one to lead an army against Odin. It make sense because in the original prophecy, Kratos was killed and Atreus went to serve Odin. There would be no one left to be the general except for Tyr who will eventually escape imprisonment. Odin must have thought that he'd already won Ragnarök since he broke the prophecy. Kratos didn't die and Tyr remained imprisoned. Ironically, the joke was on him. Locking up and impersonating Tyr not only helped Kratos to survive but prevented Atreus from joining him as well. Odin suffered an even greater defeat than what was prophesized because he tried to defy fate.

So Odin Stormcrow wasn't as clever as he thought

One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it
