Hold the Heathen Hammer High

TYR · By the Light of the Northern Star [2009]

Heathen heart

Pagan pride

Faring far

Sword by side



Tribal times

Northern nights

Hidden high

Runic rites I was told:



Hold the heathen hammer high

Hold the heathen hammer high

Hold the heathen hammer high



Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay



Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray

Hold the heathen hammer high



Weather wild

Blackened blade

Angry eyes

Ruthless raid



Heathen heart

Pagan pride

Faring far

Sword by side

Hard and cold



Hold the heathen hammer high

Hold the heathen hammer high

Hold the heathen hammer high



Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay



Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray

Hold the heathen hammer high



From a pagan past that only the heathen hold

From the far end of the world and of times untold

I bring message to your midst of the ways of old

Ways reluctantly abandoned if truth be told



Ways abandoned for a scavenger of our souls

Living on malicious lies, hiding in the holes

Cruel and credible as any our tale of trolls

Hold the heathen hammer highest of all your goals



Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay



Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry

For the pagan past I live and one day will die

Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away

Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray

Hold the heathen hammer high

Hold the heathen hammer high
