I have to say that I believe that most of the songs on this album are indeed about Elric/the eternal champion, even if they aren't named specifically. For example, in Valhalla: "Magic is in me I'm the last magic man/Never found what I was looking for/Now I found it but it's lost" would refer to Elric in the end of Stormbringer, where Elric is indeed the last magic-user alive, and he tortures his enemy, embracing his heritage after many years of self-exile and soul-searching. Another example is in Follow the Blind: "The queen is lying far behind in an endless dream", which would be Cymoril, Elric's first love, who was captured by Yyrkoon and enchanted to sleep forever. If Elric had married her before she died, she would have been Empress. There are more instances of lyrics that stand out to me as very Elric-like, though I haven't read Corum or Hawkmoon, I can't say for sure about them. I just thought I should get a second opinion before any edits were made.
