The Erlking (German: Erlkönig, “Alder King”) is depicted in a number of German poems and ballads as a malevolent creature who haunts forests and carries off travellers to their deaths. The name may be an 18th-century mistranslation of the original Danish word elverkonge, “elf-king”. The character is most famous as the antagonist in Goethe’s poem Der Erlkönig and Schubert’s musical adaptation of the same name.

Vogelfrey - Waffenbruder

[…]
Der Angriff kam, so mussten wir uns wehren
Der Christ wollt’ uns ein’s besseren belehren
Axt und Schwerter kreuzten wir
Im festen Glauben an dich Týr
Dass uns die Christenheit nie wird bekehren
[…]

The cross will collapse miserably. Then the ancient stony gods will rise from the forgotten debris and rub the dust of a thousand years from their eyes, and finally Thor with his giant hammer will jump up and smash the Gothic cathedrals

Nebelung - Einsamkeit

Hooked on Nebelung today… “Erst am Abend weiß der Einsame, was einsam heißt.”
