Tiwaz is the rune of justice, honor and courageous action.
It represents the warrior who fights for truth rather than for gain.
In this song, Gloria & The Machine turns Tiwaz into sound — unplugged heavy metal and tribal drums echoing the courage of righteous battle.
🪶 Tiwaz – Meaning
Tiwaz is the rune of honor, justice and sacred courage
It speaks of standing for truth even at personal cost
It teaches discipline, integrity and the strength to act with purpose
To draw Tiwaz is to choose the right path over the easy one
Victory is earned by those who fight with honor
[Verse 1]
Steel in the spirit, flame in the bone,
Walk the line though you walk alone.
Not for glory, not for fame,
Tiwaz burns in truth and name.
[Chorus]
Tiwaz — arrow of right,
Cut through shadow with fearless light.
Stand your ground, do not bend,
Honor lives beyond the end.
[Verse 2]
Blood may fall for what is true,
Every oath demands its due.
Those who yield to fear or gain
Die in victory without a name.
[Chorus]
Tiwaz — arrow of right,
Cut through shadow with fearless light.
Stand your ground, do not bend,
Honor lives beyond the end.
[Bridge]
Better a wound in honest fight
Than living safe in silent night.
Courage marks the soul in flame,
Justice carves the eternal name.
[Final Chorus]
Tiwaz — oath and blade,
Path where cowards are unmade.
Rise and bleed for what is true,
The world remembers those who do.
[Outro]
Tiwaz… I rise for truth.
