Album Review

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I basically bought the album on Itunes today, That is a bit odd of me as I only buy an album if there are 3 songs on it that I like. This one had 3 although 2 were unknown at the time. I posted the videos for REGIN SMIÐUR and HAIL TO THE HAMMER. The lyrics below are the 3rd song on that album that I enjoy but in the limited time that I have been able to listen to it, after Dreams is a rocking version of the old Irish tune The Wild Rover. 4 good songs on 1 album and I haven’t been able to listen to the whole album yet

I have yet to find a video for this song but I assure you that it is one of those that just call to me.
I present the lyrics to Tyr’s song Dreams

I’ve learned all the lore, I’ve been told all the tales
Ancient legends of war are the wind in my sails
The deeds of the brave come alive in the rhyme
And the myth is my ship on the ocean of time

I can feel it is near,
I can see it appear
and at dawn on the Glittering Heath
I saw it all, gold lay beneath
And the Dragon
did meet its bane and was slain
and at Dawn at the Valkyries hill,
crossing the fire, acting her will
Was the slayer and how alive though it seems
I was there in my dreams

Somewhere in time
deeds of the day
Became the rhymes
we sing today

Where did we come from and where are we now
Is enough information to say where we’ll go
Wherever we go we must go there from here
And we carry our load and we learn all the lore

I can feel it is near,
I can see it appear
and at dawn on the Glittering Heath
I saw it all, gold lay beneath
And the Dragon
did meet its bane and was slain
and at Dawn at the Valkyries hill,
crossing the fire, acting her will
Was the slayer and how alive though it seems
I was there in my dreams

Somewhere in time
deeds of the day
Became the rhymes
we sing today

In a way
we have turned
through the pages of time in a rhyme,
gone back as far as we may
In a day
we are part
of the tales of the brave
as they pave
way for descendants in dreams

Somewhere in time
deeds of the day
will be comprised
We go away

I’ve learned all the lore
