The story to this one is very long.
So, in a nutshell:
Einar was a commander within the Ragh Hrafen Fianna.
Anders was a werewolf! (Yes!)
There was a battle with demons. The demons appeared on our plane from a *Void Gate* (self explanatory!).
The gate itself sent out pulses that could knock those close to it unconscious.
This happened to Anders and Einar who were dragged through the gate to be tortured and killed forever and ever... Or to just fade away to nothingness... depending how evil you are!

lyrics

Oh look to the east, can you see the sun rising?
It looks like a sun, never risen before.
For the light it is dim, and no warmth emanating.
It gives little comfort, to this pallid earth.

It seems only hours, yet feels like forever,
since Anders and Einer walked here among men.
It’s hard to believe when your heart cannot bear it,
we never shall look on their faces again.

(chorus)
Until this world ends, we will remember them,
comrades and friends who have fallen today.

It’s sad in the telling, but tales must be spoken
and we should recall all our glorious dead,
who’ve fought and have taken the road to Valhalla,
to join all our Fathers who’ve gone on ahead.

Oh, Einar was bold and a strong line commander.
His battles were many and bested by none,
for years he had led us, but sad to discover,
it took but a moment and Einar was gone.

(chorus)

A gate to the void opened up in our clearing,
spilled countless foul beasts like some dark hellish maw!
With steel and with venom they struck at our people,
took women and children and slaughtered them all.

A flash of sharp movement, to quickly to follow,
the wolf that was Anders leapt high in the air.
Beset from all sides he dropped into the battle.
He rent and he tore them where no man would dare.

(chorus)

The demons were beaten, but bold in their numbers,
and turned to the wolf, as the wolf faced them all,
and Anders stood firm, but the void overwhelmed him,
he lay still and senseless as death on the floor.

Now Einar stepped forward, to take the fight to them,
the men of his company, stood at his heel.
With cries to the gods and with curses to demons,
he summoned his courage and loosened his steel.

(chorus)

He stood over Anders, his body protecting,
from demon and venom and shadow, but then
the void took his senses and Anders and Einar
were taken to darkness and not seen again.

So take heed all you Norsemen and Wolves within hearing.
Remember your fallen who’ve gone from our sight
and think on the fate, befell Anders and Einar,
we wish to greet Odin, but wish not to die.

(chorus x2 to end)
