I'm always a sucker for galloping beats. So good.

[@Tyrband]

Thanks, we like them too. We got them from Iron Maiden 🏇🖤🎵🎶

[@CharllySonOfMetal]

This song is very good! It would be amazing to make a video clip of it, the story is good, great theme and I'm sure everyone would like it. Hugs here from Brazil.

Maybe we'll get to that one day :) - Heri

I’ve named my dog “Tyr”. My wife asked why and I said “it’s one of my favorite bands!” Greetings from Brazil

[@Tyrband]

Thank you, greetings from the Faroes 🤘😎🖤🎵🎶

The best album in my opinion...

[@Tyrband]

Thank you, we’re quite pleased with it 🤘🏻😎 - Heri

[@ilpoh1237]

Definitely one of the best Tyr songs. Gotta love that drum beat and tapping riff. And of course the horse neigh just before the drums begin to gallop :D

[@Tyrband]

Yes, we were laughing our socks of in studio when we added that :D - Heri

[@minh-hieunguyen6096]

I really like this album. Have listened to it since 2014. I don't understand why it was so underrated. If you listen the lyric carefully, it is masterpiece in my opinion.

[@Tyrband]

Thank you. We appreciate that very much :) - Heri

[@thiagomoraes636]

My favourite song

[@Tyrband]

Well, that's nice. Thanks :) - Heri

[@NoNamesLeft0102]

I think I remember hearing this for the first time in concert. Winnipeg, October (Thanksgiving, so smaller crowd), with Eluveitie and Metsatoll. Want to say 2014. Damned good show by everyone on stage.

LYRICS: Hammertheft And all the world bereft Of reason and of right Overnight. Left between A Tyrant's Temper mean And Treason and betrayal, cold and stale Hue and Cry, I can't sit idly by We're hostages to greed; intercede! Left between A Tyrant's Temper mean And Treason and betrayal, cold and stale Hue and Cry, I can't sit idly by We're hostages to greed; intercede! All you have is ill-gotten gain. You stand only for your own. Any man may throw you off the throne. Seat will not be set for thee At the league of free nations Mat this mark the end of your reign Let the lay of Thrym be heard! Leave no tyrant out there undeterred Thunderstruck theocracy This theodicy, heathen In the end the giant was slain. Hammer home To any despot's dome. The tales of tyranny End with me! Hue and Cry, I can't sit idly by; We're hostages to greed; intercede All you have is ill-gotten gain. You stand only for your own. Any man may throw you off the throne. Seat will not be set for thee At the league of free nations May this mark the end of your reign Let the lay of Thrym be heard! Leave no tyrant out there undeterred Thunderstruck theocracy This theodicy, heathen In the end the giant was slain.

A great song from a great album by a great group! 🤘🏻🔥

[@Tyrband]

Said by a great fan ;) Thank you so much! - Heri

[@wickednoreaster]

One on of my favorites. The galloping drums hooked me and keep me coming back. Maybe one of these days I'll see you all over here in Vinland, I mean, uh, New England

[@Ianlewawa]

Mi favorita de Tyr, definitivamente.

[@Tyrband]

Thank you! :)

[@anaran4811]

Heri is an educated musician and it shows. Wonderful music.

Thanks :) - Heri

[@Poodleinacan]

If I ever develop Alzheimer's when older, this album will probably the only album of the bands I listen to that I'll be able hum along. Haha While among my favourite power metal album, I still plenty like your earlier albums. I just love the thematics and sound of it.

[@killermonjero]

I just enjoy your music so much.

[@Tyrband]

We're very pleased you say that :) - Heri

[@stormragehighborne2154]

Long live Týr 🌹

[@Poodleinacan]

I really loved the sort of notes (the guitar notes being more in the highs than the lows. I like the sound balancing. I don't really know how to describe it) and music style. The songs' subjects are pretty good too. Personally, it's my favourite album. in this song, I quite enjoy how the drums are creatively used to imitate the sound of a galloping horse.

[@SarahAParis]

Very easy to dance to! I have a ball listening to this album. I have a tendency to headbang to it, so I don't stand by the wall when I listen to it.🤘🤣😀💙

[@Tyrband]

Rock on! :D - Heri

@tyr When will you tour the US and will there be any restrictions on warhammers in the venue or nah? - Asking the important questions... 🙃

[@-anthon-7207]

Won’t lie. It took me a little bit to realize that the drums were replicating a horse’s gallop during the intro.

[@louread111]

Great Battle Him! 🎧

[@Tyrband]

Yes, exactly! :) - Heri

[@minh-hieunguyen6096]

Not only The Lay of Thrym but also Flame of the Free, Shadows of Swastikas, Take your Tyrant are also very nice.
