Passing of the Stormwolves

         The Church of the Stormwolves once stood here so proud
If I listen I hear them all singing aloud
Here were my people Strong True and Bold
Heroes of Norsca - like heroes of old..

            And people may ask me why I didn't cry..
The Stormwolves are gone - but The Crimson all died..
Stand shoulder to shoulder - Remember their Name..
For they dwell on the Island till we need them again..

         The Church of the Stormwolves - once stood so tall
Through smoke and darkness I still see them all
So pull up a bench - put mead in this horn
And I'll tell you where all of the Stormwolves have gone         Chor

         Casboeth's evil had many enthralled
But Stormwolves responded and answered the call
Crimson Wolf faltered and evil did bud
Servants of Loki with "Fire and Blood"

         They came from the mountains and ravaged the land
Men women children they slew out of hand
Friend foe or stranger was trampled in mud
As they plundered their evil deeds - Fire and Blood         Chor

         Out in Teutonia a destiny sworn
Gunn led the Stormwolves and a battle line drawn
Here was Fenn leading the Crimson Flag Raised
"Praise be to Stormwolves" - the "Stormwolves be praised"

         Then Fenn called out to his only son,
"Sigurd - come join us the battles begun
"Come join your family - with us you can dwell..
Sigurd Spat loudly - "I'll see you in Hell"         Chor

         "Then lets decide fairly" the trickster begun
"Demon Deer Crimson - Against Stormwolf Gunn"
"Done!" said the "Voice and Arm" - seeing no wrong.. 
"Stand back my Stormolves, this will not take long

          But Crimson are tricksters and as Gunn showed no fear
The order went out to support Demon Deer
And as Gunn prevailed with a mighty attack
The Crimson all struck at his unguarded back..         Chor

         And Stormwolves all joined in the fight to the death
Ristain and Leif fought, and Sy took no breath
Here was Saebjorn, Borri would not tire
Here I saw Sigurd dispatching his sire

         And so fought the magistrate, Magnus he fell
Now trampled Westag the lapdog of Hel
Godfrich and Thorsten to the earth they are brung
As Casimir died with with a song on his tongue

            And people may ask me why I didn't cry..
The Stormwolves are gone - but The Crimson all died..
Stand shoulder to shoulder - As Solid as Rock!!
For they dwell on the Island until RAGNAROK

         Selene of Gingarren, Rowan and Xel
He had the Vengeance of Vigar but Stormborn soon fell
Thorfin fought on as a true Norscan Son
Allanya was taken beloved of Gunn

         All of the trueblood, but Crimson were done
Till Demon Deer fell to the last blow of Gunn
From all the Stormwolf - we are bereft 
Sigurd Gunn Olmundr Agna are left ..         Chor

         Add to these heroes - the name of C'nute
Though Crimson he fought with us without dispute
Now Crimson cannot the country defile
And Stormwolves can once more return to the Isle ..         Chor

         The Church of the Stormwolves once stood here so tall
Thorugh the smoke and the darkness ...
I still see them all!
