Einhard (also Eginhard or Einhart; c. 775 – March 14, 840) was a Frankish scholar and courtier. Einhard was a dedicated servant of Charlemagne and his son Louis the Pious; his main work is a biography of Charlemagne, the Vita Karoli Magni, "one of the most precious literary bequests of the early Middle Ages."
Einhard was from the eastern German-speaking part of the Frankish Kingdom. Born into a family of relatively low status, his parents sent him to be educated by the monks of Fulda - one of the most impressive centres of learning in the Frank lands - perhaps due to his small stature (Einhard referred to himself as a "tiny manlet") which restricted his riding and sword-fighting ability, Einhard concentrated his energies towards scholarship and especially to the mastering of Latin. Despite such humble origins, he was accepted into the hugely wealthy court of Charlemagne around 791 or 792. Charlemagne actively sought to amass scholarly men around him and established a royal school led by the Northumbrian scholar Alcuin. Einhard evidently was a talented builder and construction manager, because Charlemagne put him in charge of the completion of several palace complexes including Aachen and Ingelheim. Despite the fact that Einhard was on intimate terms with Charlemagne, he never achieved office in his reign. In 814, on Charlemagne's death his son Louis the Pious made Einhard his private secretary. Einhard retired from court during the time of the disputes between Louis and his sons in the spring of 830.
Vita Karoli Magni (Life of Charles the Great) is a biography of Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Holy Roman Emperor, written by Einhard.
Historians have traditionally described the work as the first example of a biography of a European king. The author endeavored to imitate the style of that of the ancient Roman biographer Suetonius, most famous for his work the Twelve Caesars. Einhard's biography is especially modeled after the biography of Emperor Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire.
The date of the work is uncertain and a number of theories have been put forward. The inclusion of Charlemagne's will at the end of the work makes it fairly clear that it was written after his death in 814. The first reference to the work, however, comes in a letter to Einhard from Lupus of Ferrieres which is dated to the mid-ninth century. Dates have been suggested ranging from about 817 to 833, usually based on interpretations of the text in the political context of the first years of the reign of Louis the Pious and Louis' attitude to his father. No theory has yet emerged as an obvious front runner, and it is likely that debate will continue.

The Life of Charlemagne by Einhard (c.775-840) translated by Samuel Epes Turner (1856-1896) Einhard was employed by Charlemagne as a court historian. At the request of Charlemagne's son and successor Louis the Pious, he wrote a biography of Charlemagne, the Vita Karoli Magni or Life of Charlemagne (c. 817--830), which provides much direct information about Charlemagne's life and character. In composing this he made full use of the Frankish Royal annals. Einhard's literary model was the classical work of the Roman historian Suetonius, the Lives of the Caesars. (adapted from Wikipedia)

Turn it off; Turn it off. (I) Won't make that mistake
(I've) Been down this road before
Think again; Think again. I will not compromise
(I) Won't compromise anything
Beat down; (I'm) At the end of my rope
Beat down; (I) Can't stand these changes
Beat down; Headfirst I take on survival, survival
Try to tear my down
I won't hesitate to stand face to face with my worst enemy (x2)
Standing tall in the face of defeat. Go it alone at my discretion
The hammer falls whenever my will says it does, I promise you
I've fallen all too far, Obsession with the shadow in the light
This constant war will lead me home
This constant war will force me onward
Try to tear me down, Headfirst I take on survival
I fell all too far, Obsession with the shadow in the light
I'm at a constant war(x2)
Yet this strife has carried me to my home
I've fallen all too far, Tear me down
Lost in the shadows in the light, Tear me down
Only word
It's been a lifetime of fueled obsessions
a promise kept is my only word
Only word
Lost in the shadows in the light, Tear me down
A promise kept is my only word
