[INTRO] [Marching drums... swords drawn... shields strike in rhythm...] Hold the line... Keep your word... Face your fate... --- [VERSE 1] I am Týr, truth-defender, treaty-keeper, law upholding, Justice-carver, battle-warden, iron-hearted, never folding. Every oath I bind in honor weighs far more than crown or throne, Better stand through pain with virtue than to rule the world alone. I have watched proud kings grow weaker when deception shaped their reign, Power built on broken promises is dust beneath the rain. Sword-hand steady, judgment ready, every verdict forged with care, Justice doesn't fear the mighty, justice treats them all as fair. Fenrir's jaws stood wide before me, every god knew what would come, Still I placed my hand before him knowing what must now be done. Not through hatred, not through glory, not to earn immortal fame, But because an oath unbroken burns far brighter than a name. Every scar upon the faithful speaks a language none can fake, Honor isn't what you promise, honor's what you'll choose to take. --- [CHORUS] I am Týr! Oaths are stronger than the blade! I am Týr! Justice never bows to shade! I am Týr! Stand your ground and hold the line! Better one true word remembered... Than a thousand false designs! --- [VERSE 2] Every courtroom, every war camp, every circle where men swear, I am present in the silence asking who will answer there. Cowards speak of noble causes while they hide behind deceit, Warriors prove their deepest honor by accepting true defeat. Victory that comes through treason isn't victory at all, Better broken keeping honor than unbroken from the fall. Shield-wall standing shoulder joined, no man stronger by himself, Strength belongs to every brother standing for somebody else. One hand lost but spirit unbroken, still I carried sword and shield, Character is never measured by the wounds upon the field. Every tyrant fears the honest because truth cannot be bought, Every judge who serves with courage knows the price of righteous thought. Stand before your peers with nothing but the promises you've kept, That is wealth no thief can steal you, treasure earned instead of swept. --- [CHORUS] I am Týr! Oaths are stronger than the blade! I am Týr! Justice never bows to shade! I am Týr! Stand your ground and hold the line! Better one true word remembered... Than a thousand false designs! --- [VERSE 3] Do not call upon my blessing if your word is made of sand, Every vow becomes a fortress only built by honest hands. Lead by action, never shouting, let your character be known, True authority is granted, never seized upon a throne. Face the wolf inside your spirit, chain him first before the beast, Greatest battles aren't around you, they're the ones that never cease. Raise the fallen, guard the helpless, never trade the weak for gain, Justice walks the hardest pathway, yet it leaves the cleanest name. When the day arrives to choose between your comfort and what's right, May your feet refuse to waver, may your soul endure the fight. If your honor costs you dearly, wear that burden without shame, For the hand I left behind me still remembers why it came. When you stand before me finally with your story fully told, I'll not ask how many battles... I'll ask whether you kept your word. --- [FINAL CHORUS] I am Týr! Truth is stronger than the spear! I am Týr! Honor conquers every fear! I am Týr! Stand unbroken to the end! Those who keep their sacred promises... Walk beside me as a friend!
