By the Light of the Northern Star is the fifth full-length album by the Faroese folk metal band Týr. It was released in May 2009 through Napalm Records. The cover artwork is by Gyula Havancsák.

Týr (Faroese: [tʰʊɪːɹ]) is a Faroese folk/ Viking metal band. They have been characterised as one of "the islands' two most successful metal bands". Their subject matter revolves almost entirely around Viking lore, mythology, and history, taking their name from Týr, the god of war in Norse religion.


Lyrics:
A boy gone astray, deceived by a god
Remembers the day, bereft of his blood

Might to your dismay now equal we meet
Self righteous repay, you kneel by my feet, I stand

By the sword in my hand
I will conquer the land
I will decimate and decapitate
Those who question the sword in my hand

I seek what you took, I promise you'll pay
By hook or by crook, a boy gone astray I stand

By the sword in my hand
I will conquer the land
I will decimate and decapitate
Those who question the sword, I stand

By the sword in my hand
I will conquer the land
I will decimate and decapitate
Those who question the sword in my hand

I hold the final truth of all eternity
Happens to include my own superiority
Mischief of the past has come to seal your destiny
Kneel before me now or I will have your head for heresy

By the sword in my hand
I will conquer the land
I will decimate and decapitate
Those who question the sword, I stand

By the sword in my hand
I will conquer the land
I will decimate and decapitate
Those who question the sword in my hand

I hold the final truth of all eternity
Happens to include my own superiority
Mischief of the past has come to seal your destiny
Kneel before me now or I will have your head for heresy.
