TAKEN TO DARKNESS 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) |
