Sunset Shore Lyrics
Weather worn, jagged heart and ragged soul
Wind swept spirit soaring high in the raging gale
Tired and torn, treacherous tides across the shoul
Rushing stream, your lifeblood, winds through this wintervale
In the darkness lingers the afterglow
An alleviating light
Caught a glimpse of fire on the distant shore
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Ages passed, this receding rainbow goal
Any quest or journey seeking it foaled to fail
It's so far away and so long ago
Lives lay buried that shone bright
Now the shore is burning into the sky
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Long ages passed though no one came
Good visions last through hunger and pain
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Wind swept spirit soaring high in the raging gale
Tired and torn, treacherous tides across the shoul
Rushing stream, your lifeblood, winds through this wintervale
An alleviating light
Caught a glimpse of fire on the distant shore
In the night
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Any quest or journey seeking it foaled to fail
Lives lay buried that shone bright
Now the shore is burning into the sky
In the night
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Good visions last through hunger and pain
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore

Their songs subject matter revolve almost entirely around Viking lore, mythology & history, taking their name from Týr who is the god of war in Norse religion. So with that in mind I think this song is describing the journey of vikings on the seas from shore to shore, their hardships along the way as well as their triumphs.
