This request was made by Emi for Tyr.
Flames lick the sky, Muspel burning bright
The hoary frost loosing the river’s run
Ýmir’s blood bloomed behind You
Your Name brings victory, twice signed on spear and sword
So too the Brothers’ blades were bloodied
Red-marked Runes wrought Their ruin
When the waters receded, rede You gave
Foundations were placed, great posts dug deep
Hófs and walls rose resolute
In council You sat among the Æsir
Your wisdom was worked in law and war
Blessing the holmgang rite and law-rock
Fierce and hungering was the Wolf whelp
By Your hands was He raised on red meat
Loving devotion to the Dire Wolf
When Fenris grew fear could not find You
Though His fangs grew long and maw mighty
You persevered in Your compassion and care
True You stayed to Your Son
Oathing hand given for the biting bind
Tears to the treachery
You teach the truths of legality and loyalty
To each test You bless with bravery
When choice is razor and rock
Yours is wisdom’s edge sliced in stone
Relentless, Your strop hones the hearty
Who seek Your guidance and gift
Týr is the name of surety and severity
Whose echo calls the weapon worthy in war
Who forges mind and magic in Fire and cools them by Ice
