Tyr
I will hail the grey God
Who walks in places neither light nor dark.
I will hail
the One Who holds duty to tribe and clan,
even above the binding vow of His sworn
word,
in vanquishing the outlander.
I will hail Him who bears the sword as His
symbol:
decisive, ruthless, just.
I will praise Him who sees what must be done
and
quietly completes his duty.
He asks for neither praise nor glory,
boasts not with
mighty words in the Hall.
He asks nothing but stands firm,
steering His
way clearly through murky waters.
He is mighty, this God,
His glory found in His
sword
and the hand He sacrificed.
I will hail Him as He faces the wolf, this
warrior
Who betrays for honor’s sake.
