Anzio
Anzio is a city and comune on the coast of the Lazio region of Italy, about 56 km (35 mi) south of Rome.
Well known for its seaside harbour setting, it is a fishing port and a departure point for ferries and hydroplanes to the Pontine Islands of Ponza, Palmarola and Ventotene. The city bears great historical significance as the site of a crucial Allied landing during World War II.
Called Antium in ancient times, it was the capital of the Volsci people until it was conquered by the Romans.
With the latter expansion of Rome it was just far enough away to be insulated from the riots and tumults of Rome. When Cicero returned from exile, it was at Antium that he reassembled the battered remains of his libraries, where the scrolls would be secure. Leading Romans built magnificent seaside villas at Antium. The Julian and Claudian emperors frequently visited it: Gaius Maecenas had a villa at Antium; both Emperor Caligula and Nero were born in Antium; the latter founded a colony of veterans and built a new harbour, the projecting moles of which still exist.

China
China (
i/ˈtʃaɪnə/; Chinese: 中国; pinyin: Zhōngguó; see also Names of China), officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is the world's most-populous country, with a population of over 1.3 billion. Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometres, the East Asian state is the world's second-largest country by land area, and the third- or fourth-largest in total area, depending on the definition of total area.
The People's Republic of China is a single-party state governed by the Communist Party of China. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four directly controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). Its capital city is Beijing. The PRC also claims Taiwan—which is controlled by the Republic of China (ROC), a separate political entity—as its 23rd province, a claim controversial due to the complex political status of Taiwan and the unresolved Chinese Civil War. The PRC government denies the legitimacy of the ROC.

France
France (Englishi/ˈfræns/ FRANSS or /ˈfrɑːns/ FRAHNSS; French: [fʁɑ̃s] (
listen)), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a unitary semi-presidential republic in Western Europe with several overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is the largest western European country and it possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, covering 11,035,000 km2 (4,260,000 sq mi), just behind that of the United States (11,351,000 km2 / 4,383,000 sq mi).
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and around the world. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America and Southeast Asia; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest colonial empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

Gaza Strip
The Gaza Strip (Arabic: قطاع غزة Qiṭāʿ Ġazzah, IPA: [qitˤaːʕ ɣazza]) lies on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, within the Middle East (at 31 25 N, 34 20 E). The Strip borders Egypt on the southwest, 11km long, and Israel on the east and north, 51km long. It is about 41 kilometres (25 mi) long, and between 6 and 12 kilometres (4–7.5 mi) wide, with a total area of 360 square kilometres (140 sq mi). It has a 40 km coastline onto the Mediterranean Sea, but has no maritime claims due to Israeli administration. The territory takes its name from Gaza-city, its main city and administrative center.
The Gaza Strip has a temperate climate, with mild winters, and dry and hot summers, subject to drought. The terrain is flat or rolling, with dunes near the coast. The highest point is Abu 'Awdah (Joz Abu 'Auda), at 105 metres above sea level. Main resources are arable land (about a third of the strip is irrigated), and recently discovered natural gas. Environmental issues include desertification; salination of fresh water; sewage treatment; water-borne disease; soil degradation; and depletion and contamination of underground water resources.

Germany
Germany (i/ˈdʒɜrməni/), officially the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, pronounced [ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant] ( listen)), is a federal parliamentary republic in Europe. The country consists of 16 states while the capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany covers an area of 357,021 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state and the largest economy in the European Union. It is one of the major political powers of the European continent and a technological leader in many fields.
A region named Germania, inhabited by several Germanic peoples, was documented before AD 100. During the Migration Period, the Germanic tribes expanded southward, and established successor kingdoms throughout much of Europe. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation while southern and western parts remained dominated by Roman Catholic denominations, with the two factions clashing in the Thirty Years' War, marking the beginning of the Catholic–Protestant divide that has characterized German society ever since. Occupied during the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of Pan-Germanism inside the German Confederation resulted in the unification of most of the German states into the German Empire in 1871 which was Prussian dominated. After the German Revolution of 1918–1919 and the subsequent military surrender in World War I, the Empire was replaced by the Weimar Republic in 1918, and partitioned in the Treaty of Versailles. Amidst the Great Depression, the Third Reich was proclaimed in 1933. The latter period was marked by Fascism and World War II. After 1945, Germany was divided by allied occupation, and evolved into two states, East Germany and West Germany. In 1990 Germany was reunified.

Invasion of Normandy
The Invasion of Normandy was the invasion and establishment of Allied forces in Normandy, France, during Operation Overlord in 1944 during World War II. It was the largest amphibious operation ever to take place.
Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on 6 June came from Canada, the Free French Forces, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the weeks following the invasion, Polish forces also participated, as well as contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and the Netherlands. Most of the above countries also provided air and naval support, as did the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the Royal Norwegian Navy.
The Normandy invasion began with overnight parachute and glider landings, massive air attacks and naval bombardments. In the early morning, amphibious landings on five beaches codenamed Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah, and Sword began and during the evening the remaining elements of the parachute divisions landed. The "D-Day" forces deployed from bases along the south coast of England, the most important of these being Portsmouth.

Israel
Coordinates: 31°N 35°E / 31°N 35°E / 31; 35
Israel, officially the State of Israel (
/ˈɪzriːəl/ or /ˈɪzreɪəl/; Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, Medīnat Yisrā'el, IPA: [me̞diˈnät jisʁäˈʔe̞l] ( listen); Arabic: دَوْلَة إِسْرَائِيل, Dawlat Isrāʼīl, IPA: [dawlat ʔisraːˈʔiːl]), is a parliamentary republic in the Middle East, along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and the West Bank in the east, Egypt and the Gaza Strip on the southwest, and the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea to the south, and it contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. Israel is defined as a Jewish and Democratic State in its Basic Laws and is the world's only Jewish-majority state.
Following the adoption of a resolution by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 29 November 1947 recommending the adoption and implementation of the United Nations plan to partition Palestine, on 14 May 1948 David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel, a state independent from the British Mandate for Palestine. Neighboring Arab states invaded the next day in support of the Palestinian Arabs. Israel has since fought several wars with neighboring Arab states, in the course of which it has occupied the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. Portions of these territories, including east Jerusalem, have been annexed by Israel, but the border with the neighboring West Bank has not yet been permanently defined.[neutrality is disputed] Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, but efforts to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict have so far not resulted in peace.

Italy
Italyi/ˈɪtəli/ (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic or the Republic of Italy (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.
Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of Maritime republics and the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.

Langres
Coordinates: 47°51′48″N 5°20′02″E / 47.8633°N 5.3339°E / 47.8633; 5.3339
Langres is a commune in north-eastern France. It is a subprefecture of the Haute-Marne département in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
As the capital of the Romanized Gallic tribe the Lingones, it was called Andematunnum, then Lingones, and now Langres.
The town is built on a limestone promontory of the same name. This stronghold was originally occupied by the Gauls, and, at a later date the Romans fortified the town belonging to the Celtic tribe the Lingones; Andemantunum the strategic cross-roads of twelve Roman roads.[citation needed] The 1st century Triumphal Gate and the many artefacts exhibited in the museums are witnesses to the Gallo-Roman town.
After the period of invasions, the town prospered in the Middle Ages due, in part, to the growing political influence of its bishops. The diocese covered Champagne, the Duchy of Burgundy and Franche-Comté, and the bishops gained the right to coin money in the 9th century and to name the military governor of the city in 927. The Bishop of Langres was a duke and peer of France. The troubled 14th and 15th centuries were reason enough for the town to strengthen its fortifications, which still give the old part of the city its fortified character, and Langres entered a period of royal tutelage. The Renaissance, which returned prosperity to the town, saw the construction of numerous fine civil, religious and military buildings that still stand today. In the 19th century, a "Vauban" citadel was added.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO ( /ˈneɪtoʊ/ NAY-toh; French: Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique Nord (OTAN)), also called the (North) Atlantic Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949. The organization constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. NATO's headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, one of the 28 member states across North America and Europe, the newest of which, Albania and Croatia, joined in April 2009. An additional 22 countries participate in NATO's Partnership for Peace, with 15 other countries involved in institutionalized dialogue programs. The combined military spending of all NATO members constitutes over 70% of the world's defence spending.
For its first few years, NATO was not much more than a political association. However, the Korean War galvanized the member states, and an integrated military structure was built up under the direction of two U.S. supreme commanders. The course of the Cold War led to a rivalry with nations of the Warsaw Pact, which formed in 1955. The first NATO Secretary General, Lord Ismay, stated in 1949 that the organization's goal was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." Doubts over the strength of the relationship between the European states and the United States ebbed and flowed, along with doubts over the credibility of the NATO defence against a prospective Soviet invasion—doubts that led to the development of the independent French nuclear deterrent and the withdrawal of the French from NATO's military structure in 1966.

Soviet Union
The Soviet Union (Russian: Советский Союз, tr. Sovetsky Soyuz), officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; Russian: Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик, tr.

The Soviet Union was a single-party state ruled by the Communist Party from its foundation until 1990. A union of 15 subnational Soviet republics, the Soviet state was structured under a highly centralized government and economy.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 caused the downfall of the Russian Empire. Following the Russian Revolution, there was a struggle for power between the Bolshevik party, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the anti-communist White movement. In December 1922, the Bolsheviks won the civil war, and the Soviet Union was formed with the merger of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.

The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies. The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler (German: [ˈadɔlf ˈhɪtlɐ] ( listen); 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), commonly referred to as the Nazi Party). He was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and dictator of Nazi Germany (as Führer und Reichskanzler) from 1934 to 1945. Hitler is commonly associated with the rise of fascism in Europe, World War II, and the Holocaust.
A decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, precursor of the Nazi Party, in 1919, and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted a coup d'état, known as the Beer Hall Putsch, in Munich. The failed coup resulted in Hitler's imprisonment, during which time he wrote his memoir, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). After his release in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, antisemitism, and anticommunism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. After his appointment as chancellor in 1933, he transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism. His aim was to establish a New Order of absolute Nazi German hegemony in continental Europe.

Charles de Gaulle
Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (/ˈtʃɑrlz/ or /ˈʃɑrl dəˈɡɔːl/; French: [ʃaʁl də ɡol] ( listen); 22 November 1890 – 9 November 1970) was a French general and statesman who led the Free French Forces during World War II. He later founded the French Fifth Republic in 1958 and served as its first President from 1959 to 1969.
A veteran of World War I, in the 1920s and 1930s de Gaulle came to the fore as a proponent of mobile armoured divisions, which he considered would become central in modern warfare. During World War II, he earned the rank of brigadier general (retained throughout his life), leading one of the few successful armoured counter-attacks during the 1940 Battle of France in May in Montcornet, and then briefly served in the French government as France was falling. De Gaulle was the most senior French military officer to reject the June 1940 armistice to Nazi Germany right from the outset.
He escaped to Britain and gave a famous radio address, broadcast by the BBC on 18 June 1940, exhorting the French people to resist Nazi Germany and organised the Free French Forces with exiled French officers in Britain. As the war progressed de Gaulle gradually gained control of all French colonies except Indochina most of which had at first been controlled by the pro-German Vichy regime. Despite earning a reputation for being a difficult man to do business with, by the time of the Allied invasion of France in 1944 he was heading what amounted to a French government in exile, but although he insisted that France be treated as a great independent power by the other Allies, the Americans in particular remained deeply suspicious of his motives. De Gaulle became prime minister in the French Provisional Government, resigning in 1946 because of political conflicts.

Ferdinand Porsche
Ferdinand Porsche (3 September 1875 – 30 January 1951) was an Austrian-German automotive engineer and honorary Doctor of Engineering. He is best known for creating the first hybrid vehicle (gasoline-electric), the Volkswagen Beetle, and the Mercedes-Benz SS/SSK, as well as the first of many Porsche automobiles. Porsche designed the 1923 Benz Tropfenwagen, which was the first race car with mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.
Known in business circles as the "great engineer", he made a number of contributions to advanced German tank designs: Tiger I, Tiger II, and the Elefant as well as the super-heavy Panzer VIII Maus tank, which was never put into production. He also made contributions in aircraft design, including the Junkers Ju 88, and the Focke-Wulf Ta 152. Additionally, he helped develop and manufacture retaliatory weapons (Vergeltungswaffen), such as the V-1 flying bombs(Fi 103 flying bombs). In 1937, Porsche was awarded the German National Prize for Art and Science, one of the rarest decorations in Nazi Germany.

Georgy Zhukov
Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (Russian: Гео́ргий Константи́нович Жу́ков; 1 December [O.S. 19 November] 1896 – 18 June 1974), was a Soviet career officer in the Red Army who, in the course of World War II, played a pivotal role in leading the Red Army drive through much of Eastern Europe to liberate the Soviet Union and other nations from the brutal occupation of the Axis Powers, and ultimately, to conquer the capital of Germany itself, Berlin. He is the most decorated general officer in the history of the Soviet Union and Russia.
Born into a poverty-stricken peasant family in Strelkovka, Maloyaroslavsky Uyezd, Kaluga Governorate (now merged into the town of Zhukov in Zhukovsky District of Kaluga Oblast in modern-day Russia), Zhukov was apprenticed to work as a furrier in Moscow. In 1915, he was conscripted into the Army of the Russian Empire, where he served first in the 106th Reserve Cavalry Regiment (then called the 10th Dragoon Novgorod Regiment). During World War I, Zhukov was awarded the Cross of St. George twice, and promoted to the rank of non-commissioned officer, for his bravery in battle. He joined the Bolshevik Party after the October Revolution, where his background of poverty became a significant asset. After recovering from a serious case of typhus, he fought in the Russian Civil War over the period 1918 to 1921, serving with the 1st Cavalry Army, among other formations. He received the decoration of the Order of the Red Banner for subduing the Tambov rebellion in 1921.

Günther Burstyn
Gunther Burstyn (6 July 1879 in Bad Aussee, Steiermark - 15 April 1945 in Korneuburg, Lower Austria) was an inventor, technician, and officer of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
At imperial military maneuvers in 1906, Burstyn demonstrated an armored car, which frightened the emperor's horses. An annoyed Emperor Franz Josef said "such a thing would never be of military value."
In 1911, he designed the first cross-country tank with swiveling turret, based on American agricultural tractors, which he called the Motorgeschütz (literally motor-gun). The draft design, more advanced than some of the tank designs of the First World War, was rejected both by Austria-Hungary and by the German Empire. He later sought to patent his design, but was told that it might infringe existing patents, so he dropped all plans. In 1941 Günther Burstyn was awarded with the War Merit Cross.[citation needed]
At the end of the war he committed suicide because he feared Soviet captivity, as endured by other German inventors like Ferdinand Porsche.

Heinz Guderian
Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (17 June 1888 – 14 May 1954) was a German general during World War II. He was a pioneer in the development of armored warfare, and was the leading proponent of tanks and mechanization in the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces). Germany's panzer (armored) forces were raised and organized under his direction as Chief of Mobile Forces. During the war, he was a highly successful commander of panzer forces in several campaigns, became Inspector-General of Armored Troops, rose to the rank of Generaloberst, and was Chief of the General Staff of the Heer in the last year of the war.
Guderian was born in Kulm, West Prussia (now Chełmno, Poland). From 1901 to 1907 Guderian attended various military schools. He entered the Army in 1907 as an ensign-cadet in the (Hanoverian) Jäger Bataillon No. 10, commanded at that point by his father, Friedrich Guderian. After attending the war academy in Metz he was made a Leutnant (full Lieutenant) in 1908. In 1911 Guderian joined the 3rd Telegraphen-Battalion of the Prussian Army Signal Corps. On October 1, 1913, he married Margarete Goerne with whom he had two sons, Heinz Günter (born Aug 2nd 1914 to 2004) and Kurt (born 17 September 1918 to 1984). Both sons became highly decorated Wehrmacht officers during World War II; Heinz Günter became a Panzer general in the Bundeswehr after the war.

Korean War
The Korean War (Korean: 한국전쟁 or 조선전쟁, Hanja: 韓國戰爭 or 朝鮮戰爭; 25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953) was a war between the Republic of Korea (supported primarily by the United States of America, with contributions from allied nations under the aegis of the United Nations) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (supported by the People's Republic of China, with military and material aid from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). The Korean War was primarily the result of the political division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean Peninsula was ruled by the Empire of Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of the Empire of Japan in September 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th parallel, with U.S. military forces occupying the southern half and Soviet military forces occupying the northern half.

Lancelot de Mole
Lancelot Eldin "Lance" de MoleCBE, (13 March 1880 – 6 May 1950) was an Australian engineer and inventor.
He made several approaches to the British authorities in 1912, in 1914 and 1916, in relation to what would become the tank. It was, obviously, ahead of its time; because, in 1912, the need for such a military device had not yet arisen. And, to further complicate matters, due to various bureaucratic blunders, his correspondence was set aside, and not given to the appropriate officers.
Eventually, in 1929, long after the military tank had been built and used in warfare during World War I, a Royal Commission recognized the importance of de Mole's innovative work, and noted the unfortunate consequences of his submissions being overlooked and, therefore, having no connexion with the development of the tank at all: that a far better tank would have been developed than the one that the British eventually used, and that it would have been developed at a much earlier date.
The eldest of the five children — three girls and two boys: Lance, Florence Louise de Mole (1881–1966) (later Mrs. Feldtmann), Winifred Emily de Mole (1886–1903), Clive Moulden de Mole (1886–1934), and Gladys Rose de Mole (1887–1979) — of William Frederick de Mole (1852-1939), an architect and surveyor, and Emily de Mole (1858-1941), née Moulden, Lance de Mole was born in Adelaide on 13 March 1880.

Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (Italian pronunciation: [leoˈnardo da ˈvintʃi] pronunciation (help·info); April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519, Old Style) was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.

Mikhail Tukhachevsky
Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky (Russian: Михаи́л Никола́евич Тухаче́вский; February 16 [O.S. February 4] 1893 – June 12, 1937) was a Marshal of the Soviet Union, commander in chief of the Red Army (1925–1928), and one of the most prominent victims of Joseph Stalin's Great Purge.
Tukhachevsky was born at Alexandrovskoye, Safonovsky District, into a family of hereditary nobles. He graduated from the Aleksandrovskoye Military School in 1914, joining the Semyenovsky Guards Regiment. Upon the outbreak of World War I, the twenty-one-year-old Lieutenant Tukhachevsky declared,
"I am convinced that all that is needed in order to achieve what I want is bravery and self-confidence. I certainly have enough self-confidence... I told myself that I shall either be a general at thirty, or that I shall not be alive by then."
After being taken prisoner by the Imperial German Army in February 1915, Tukhachevsky escaped four times from POW camps and was finally held as an incorrigible escapee in Ingolstadt fortress.

Percy Hobart
Major-General Sir Percy Cleghorn Stanley Hobart KBE CB DSO MC (14 June 1885 – 19 February 1957), also known as "Hobo", was a British military engineer, noted for his command of the 79th Armoured Division during World War II. He was responsible for many of the specialised armoured vehicles ("Hobart's Funnies") that took part in the invasion of Normandy and later actions.
Hobart was born in Naini Tal, India, the son of Robert T. Hobart, Indian Civil Service (ICS), and Janetta Stanley of Roughan Park, County Tyrone. His sister, Elizabeth, later married the World War II Field Marshal, Bernard Montgomery. In his youth he studied history, painting, literature and church architecture. He was educated at Temple Grove School and Clifton College, and in 1904 he graduated from the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and was commissioned into the Corps of Royal Engineers. He was first sent to India, but during World War I he served in France and Mesopotamia (now Iraq).
He took part in the Waziristan campaign 1919–1920 when British and Indian Army forces put down unrest in local villages.

Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict fought in Spain from 17 July 1936 to 1 April 1939. The war began after a pronunciamiento (declaration of opposition) by a group of generals under the leadership of José Sanjurjo against the elected government of the Second Spanish Republic, at the time under the leadership of President Manuel Azaña. The rebel coup was supported by a number of conservative groups including the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right, monarchists such as the religious conservative Carlists, and the Fascist Falange. The uprising was authoritarian and anti-separatist in inspiration; anti-Basque and anti-Catalan feeling marked the Nationalist zone.
Following the only partially successful coup, Spain was left militarily and politically divided. From that moment onwards, general Francisco Franco began a protracted war of attrition against the established government for the control of the country. The rebel forces received the support of Nazi Germany and the Kingdom of Italy, as well as neighbouring Portugal, while the Soviet Union and Mexico intervened in support of the Republican government or loyalist side.

Winston Churchill
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, Hon. RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British Conservative politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the century, he served as Prime Minister twice (1940–45 and 1951–55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States.
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jenny Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.

World War I
World War I (WWI), which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939 (World War II), and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and Russia) and the Central Powers (originally centred around the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy; but, as Austria–Hungary had taken the offensive against the agreement, Italy did not enter into the war). These alliances both reorganised (Italy fought for the Allies), and expanded as more nations entered the war. Ultimately more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, largely because of enormous increases in lethality of weapons, thanks to new technology, without corresponding improvements in protection or mobility. It was the sixth-deadliest conflict in world history, subsequently paving the way for various political changes such as revolutions in the nations involved.

We need to try a new position
(Hold up)
The word gets you in is killing your friend
I ain't trying to make you give in
But baby I'm still on ten
Cause I'm still trying to shake the head for the few more positions to go
Got a little more than what you asked for
And i'm still ready to go
I'm a push your body to the limit
We're gonna both fall out when we finished
I need some more time cause I can't get enough
So don't give up
You better work girl, work girl, work girl
(don't give up)
You better work girl, work girl, work girl
I'm probably showing out
I'm on my superman
Real promotion now
I'm tryin' to win a fan
And every time i'll be like the first time
Like when i got you high on the first line
It's a long ride
Buckle up
Drivin' off road
Cause i like it rough
I know you gotta let a life in your love
But you probably need some help
Cause I'm still trying to shake the head for the few more positions to go
Got a little more than what you asked for
And I'm still ready to go
I'm a push your body to the limit
We're gonna both fall out when we finished
I need some more time cause I can't get enough
So don't give up
You better work girl, work girl, work girl
(Lemme see you put 'em work)
(don't give up)
(Lemme see you put 'em work)

Stress
Sunshine, geyeah
I sold it all from crack to opium, in third person
I don't wanna see 'em, so I'm rehearsing
with my peoples high to GM, from a remote location
in the BM, scoping the whole situation like, "Dayamm!"
Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cream
but one of these buyers got eyes like a Korean
It's difficult to read em, the windows to his soul
are half closed, I put the key in
Pulled off slow, hoping my people flee-in
Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in
Coppers was watching us through nighttime binoculars
This time they got us on tape, exchanging dope for dollars
Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna
Praying my people bailed out like Time/Warner
Awaiting call, from his kin not the coroner
Phone in my hand, nervous confined to a corner
Beads of sweat second thoughts on my mind
How can I ease the stress and learn to live with these regrets
This time... stress... giving this shit up... fuck
This is the number one rule for your set
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
On the, rise to the top, many drop, don't forget
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
This is the number one rule for your set
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
And through our travels we get separated, never forget
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
As sure as this, Earth is turning souls burning
in search of higher learning turning in every direction seeking direction
My moms crying cause her insides are dying
her son trying her patience, keep her heart racing
A million beats a minute, I know I push you to your limit
but it's this game love, I'm caught up all in it
They make it so you can't prevent it, never give it
you gotta take it, can't fake it I keep it authentic
My hand got this pistol shaking, cause I sense danger
like Camp Crystal Lake and
don't wanna shoot him, but I got him, trapped
within this infrared dot, bout to hot him and, hit rock bottom
No answers to these trick questions, no time shit stressing
My life found I got to live for the right now
Time waits for no man, can't turn back the hands
once it's too late, gotta learn to live with regrets
You used to hold me, told me that I was the best
Anything in this world I want I could posses
All that made me want is all that I could get
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets... (when I was young)
I found myself reminiscing, remember this one
when he was here he was crazy nice with his son
I miss him, long as I'm living he's living through memories
He's there to kill all my suicidal tendencies
In heaven looking over me, or in hell, keeping it cozy
I'm coming life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be
Remember Newton, mutual friend well me and him feuding
On your life I tried to talk to him
But you know niggas, think they guns can stop foe niggas
Fronting like they, Big Willie but really owe niggas
Hoe niggas, this year I'm sho' niggas think I'm slipping
I'm bought to send you a roommate, no bullshitting
for my hustle's going too well to hit him
You was right niggas want you to be miserable wit em
Anyway, I ain't trying to hear it, I think I'm touched
this whole verse I been talking to your spirit, a little too much
Come come come back to me
Was all i could say
The day that i lost my baby
Don't know why she wanna leave
When she knows i will do anything for my baby
Now why you wanna do a playa like that
You like him now but you gon' be runnin back
And i'll be waitin' for you baby that's a fact
Baby do you hear me, baby do you feel me yeah
I told her she was better than that
And i would treat her better than that
And all she gotta do is come back (come back to me)
Come back to me
Come come come come back to me
Was all i could say
The day she jumped outta my mercedes
Don't know why she wanna leave
The fact she did this on love just drives me crazy
Now why you wanna do a playa like that
You like him now but you gon' be runnin back
And i'll be waitin' for you baby that's a fact
Baby do you hear me, baby do you feel me yeah
I remember when
You told me you would never ever ever leave my side
Now lately all i do is picture you just hoppin' out my ride
Now you got a friend
But he won't do the things i used to do
The things he do
Won't do for you
Tell me baby what you goin' through
I got that go back
I got that get back
From The Fast And The Furious soundtrack
[Chorus 2x: Tank]
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light - livin my life
[Tank]
Consequences, reprecusion
All discussion about my loved ones
Didn't know paper had a price on it
That your ice would have your life on it
The cost to ball ain't changed, but I'm trying to
Red lights flashing, but I keep on through
Mom said paper ain't everything
Baby girl wants a wedding ring, I wish that I could sing
[Tank]
Oooohhhh, I'm moving too fast
Oooohhhh, I'm not gonna last
Oooohhhh, smile down on me
Ain't got much time, made up my mind
I'm gonna keep on through, whatever comes is mine
[Chorus 2x]
[Tank]
Nobody cry for me
Cuz I, wanna see you smile for me
When I die, look through my window, to the soul
Tell me if you see Tank living to grow old
Cuz too many niggas done died for what I hold
The talent to warm a world which is so cold
Take me, save me, before I'm crazy
The only reason I live is for my baby
[Ja Rule]
Never did you tell me that
Life ain't a game
Maybe if you told me this
Shit might be changed
But now I'm just racing against time, trying to survive
And see why, ya'll niggas drive over nigga's vibe
If you gonna live, know you gonna die
If you gonna steal, know you gotta lie
Get drunk and stay high
Don't de-nigga-ny, cuz they'll never take me alive
Feel me Lord, I'm running out of time
[Chorus 2x]
[Tank]
Oooohhhh, I'm moving too fast
Oooohhhh, I'm not gonna last
Oooohhhh, smile down on me
Ain't got much time, made up my mind
I'm gonna keep on through, whatever comes is mine
[Chorus til fade]
[Chorus: Tank]

Cumming on me! (Cumming on me baby)
Me cumming on you! (Me cumming on you shorty babe)
[Verse 1: Plies]
Hoe, dont be cute, tonight I want to get nasty
Let me drop this mayonnaise, baby, in your salad
Slide your hand in my pants if you want to grab it
Bet as soon as you touch it, you call me "big" daddy
Want to lick all over you before I let you have it
Hold your legs open for me so I can really pack it
I'm already rock hard, you ain't got to jack me
Bet the tip of this tounge make you really like it
Picture us on the floor with no clothes on
You eating me, I'm eating you, shit we both raw
Let you ride me tonight off your favorite song
Tonight a special night, baby a freak is born
[Chorus: Tank]
You! (You)
Thinking about me! (Thinking about me)

You sucking on me! (Can you do it for me babe?)

Me cumming on you! (Me cumming on you shorty babe)
[Verse 2: Plies]
Let me cut a hole right in the middle of your panties
Put a peep-hole right on top your candy
I'ma have you moaning when you grab me
I'm a goon lil' momma but I like it fancy
See, sucking all on you is what gets you all ancy
Seeing how a goon moves, makes you want to chase me
After I rip you tonight you might want to ban me
Your friend wanted me to, thats why she can't stand me
It's your friend in your jeans that got my attention
A real nigga in your life is all you missing
Ain't nobody like me baby, I'm my competition
Baby when you walk out the door in the morning you leave with me
[Chorus: Tank]
You! {You)
Thinking about me! (Thinking about me)
Sucking on you! (Sucking on you)
You sucking on me! (Can you do it for me babe?)

[Verse 3: Plies]
If you want to we could just tease eachother
Get drunk. Get naked and lay under cover
Let me peek at her first before I go any further
Stick my finger in yo mouth before I even touch her
Ain't got to put it in, we could just hunch eachother
See if I could make you nut without even fucking you
Feel me pushing up against you, then go on and rub you
Now you mad you want to fuck, I could tell how you cussing
Just a couple minutes ago, you wasn't fucking nothing
Now you pressing up against me because that pussy gushing
Got you swerving all over, now got you touching

[Beat fade out]
Yeah...there's a lot of them up in here you know but

Stack of them but it's only one of me (Get me up in the air)
Stack of them but it's only one of me (All night)
Stack of them but it's only one of me (Oh)
Only one of me, only one of me
Verse 1:
Have you seen me?
I've been stacked next to people tryna be me
Before the end of the night you gon' meet me
Tucked neat between your string, baby free me,yeah
Do you need me?
I'm willing to be used baby keep me
I know you see a lot of these weekly
But I feel so damn special in your bikini
Chorus
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you
Call me your one, your, your, your one
Verse 2:
I hope you notice
Imma stand out in the sky when they throw this
Am not the one just fly, but i'm the coldest
Let me give it to you straight baby don't fold this
In other places girl I just don't mean a thing
Coming from a 20 I aint nothing but some change
Big faces clown on me, but they dont understand
Up in here, i'm the man
Chorus:
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you
Call me your one, your, your, your one
Bridge:
I don't mean a thing up in Gucci but in here im a star
Switch them big bills out for me over here at the bar
I can't do much for bottle service
Get me to that stage and show you how to work this
Baby drop that thing out, coming with the rain now
Imma make you feel like it's all worth it
Chorus:
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you

Stack of them but it's only one of me
Only one of me, only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Yeah, no right now, no, no, no
I'd give up my last dime, I don't care what they think
I'd cry to get you back and I'll fight until I win
Don't care how much it hurts, don't matter what you do
I'm in no matter what cause you mean that much to me
Cause you mean that much to me
Cause you mean that much to me
Don't want to see you cry, I swear to tell the truth
My pride is out the door, won't be that man no more
I'll work to gain your trust, can't do this without you
If you leave me girl I'd die, cause you mean that much
to me
Cause you mean that much to me
Cause you mean that much to me
Girl, cause you mean that much to me
Cause you mean that much to me
If you catch the blame I'd take the fall
Hard time, I'd do it all
And I'd swear it was all my fault cause you mean that
much to me
I'll stand on the front line, take a bullet that's not
mine
I'll even lay down my life ... cause you mean that much
to me
You mean that much to me, you mean it, you really mean
it girl
You mean so much, I know I can't take another day
without you girl
Baby I would, I would cry for you
You mean that much to me,
You mean that much to me
Baby, baby, oh,
You mean it , girl, you mean it girl.
I just wanna sing my song,
When I met you,
You was like that perfect girl,
Thought I never find that in my ghetto world,
You never question my job,
You never toe up my rent,
You never spend up my money,
You never scuffed up my chin,
But one year later I don't know who you be,
And I can't take the way you be mistreating me,
Now you don't cook no more,
Now you go through my phone,
Now you spend up my money,
Now you fuss all day long
This is my wedding song (thon thon thonthon thon thon thonthon),
If you fell me sing along you all,
If I had known what I know what I know what I know right now,
Things would be different now,
And I wouldn't be standing here singing in my wedding song (thon thon thonthon thon thon thonthon),
We'll be somewhere getting it on,
And we still be freaking each other, I still be friends with your mother,
Somehow it all went wrong,
And now I'm standing here singing in my wedding song (thon thon thonthon thon thon thonthon)
Girl you tripping how you gone say I done change,
With that big ass wedding ring,
Maybe I'm not always home,
Maybe I leave up the seat,
Maybe I don't always listen,
Maybe I snore when I sleep,
But I still loved you even with your attitude,
And I still loved you thats why I took care of you,
Baby I gave you two kids,
Baby I bought you this house,
Baby I changed up your life,
Remember I kicked what's a name out
For better or for worse thats what the preacher said but I didn't think it'd get this bad,
And I know I said I do,
But I'll be damn if I grow old with you,
And you said you never change but you did as soon as I gave you my last name,
Girl I can't believe there's no more you and me,
Except there's but just so it gotta be baby
I'm looking for this girl
Her name is love
Dreamed about her a thousand times
Only had her once
Damn I gots to get to her
How did I lose her & my mind at the same time
Been all around the world
Where could she be
Ain't nuthin like when she was next to me
Still smell the scent of her perfume
So lonely in this room
Something I can't get used to
[Thought I could find someone to do what she do]
Turns out that I was living a lie
& She was the truth
What did I do, guess I was just a fool
Now I need her to know...

The only feelings I cared about were my own
How could I be so selfish

Said I'm so underrated
(Ooooooohhh)
Said I'm so underrated (yeahhh)
[Verse 1]
I done wrote songs that made tears fall
I done wrote songs that made your ex call
Songs that'll make grown men get down on bended knee
And the things that I do you only gone get from me but I'm so underrated
[Chorus]
Lookin at my watch it's about that time
I done patiently waited
And I hate
That I'm so underrated
I hope you hear this song and know I'm singing from the heart
And I'm kinda faded
I wasn't created to be so underrated
[Verse 2]
God I got a gift but they just don't see me
Couple mo prayers I hope you can hear me
I done made these companies a whole lot of paper
But with all of this success I still wanna be greater
Gave a good return when the streets bet
Truth is that I ain't really peaked ya
And I can't get the things that he get
Damn I'm so underrated
[Chorus]
Lookin at my watch it's about that time
I done patiently waited
And I hate it
That I'm so underrated
I hope you hear this song and know I'm singing from the heart
And I'm kinda faded
I wasn't created to be so underrated
[Verse 3]
God I got a gift but they just don't see me
Couple mo prayers I hope you can hear me
I'm bout to switch the style up
And if they hate then let em hate
And watch the money pile up
And now when I hit the stage
They gone scream my name
Somebody must've turn the crowd up
And they gone pay about a million for the show
G6 on that runway got somewhere to go
And we gone laugh about the days I was broke
And so underrated
[Chorus]
Lookin at my watch it's about that time
I done patiently waited
And I hate
That I'm so underrated
I hope you hear this song and know I'm singing from the heart
And I'm kinda faded
I wasn't created to be so underrated
God I got a gift but they just don't hear me

Verse 1
Why can’t I get you off my mind?
(Yeah)
Clips of your body… on rewind.
(Mmm)
If I come over, would it be right?
No, I aint sober.
Drunk and so high of your love, your love, your love.
Is that alright?
(Hmmm)
Hook
Cause you don’t know

Chorus
This is how I feel
(Oooh) x4
Verse 2
Imma take time

Look how you shine

All of your
Hook
Cause you don’t know
How hard I go

I just want more
Chorus
This is how I feel

Afterword
Yours right next to mine
Beauty so divine
I’ll stay in for life
(Life)
Talk to me
Tell me when
Starting to feeling that feeling again
(Oooh)
I feel you now
(Ooooooh, Ooooh)
Chorus
This is how I feel
I should get out of it
But I cannot refrain
From wondering where
It comes from
And why it has begun
Confusion in my mind
Has slithered through my eyes
It has reached my soul and now
It's consuming me inside
The veil has been torn
Swallow the words I vomit
May they crawl unto your senses
Forward, the path is waiting
Will you join me? Time has come to leave...
Climbing the walls of misery
I'll find a place where answers rest. Are you calling me?
Tomorrow 's dark and my skin is scarred
But I will face it more than enough. The day after arrived
I wonder if what you do
Tallies with what you are
No one seems to realize
We don't have to hide
I won't forsake you
Drink these words that are falling
From my mouth, may they touch your heart
The way is waiting for us
Will you join me? Time has come to change...
Climbing the walls of misery
I'll find a place where answers rest. Tell me if you need me!
Tomorrow 's dark and my skin is scarred
But I will face it more than enough. The day after arrived
Come on
Let's fight the dawn
No remorse
The day after
Come on now!
Climbing the walls of misery
I'll find a place where answers rest, it's all that's left to me!
My scar is now wide open and tomorrow 's still darker
We wanna feel the heat
The blinding light, the deafening noise
Let our rage burn the ground
And the sweat vanish in the air
We wanna see the eyes
So full of pain, so full of hate
We've got only one thing to do
And we won't let it go
Scream the words
Of rebellion
Spread your wings
Fly away from this
Scream the words
Of rebellion
Materialize your feelings
Use them as a weapon
Be ready for
A new way of thinking
Think of A New Kind
Cursed be the ones who stand
On the path of liberty
Those who are preventing us
From going forward
The very ones who lead us
To our fucking loss
Down! We will drag them down
And we won't let them go
Scream the words
Of rebellion
Make them rot
Fight for what is right
Scream the words
Of rebellion
Tear apart your shell
Crawl as far as you can
Be ready for
A new way of thinking
Think of A New Kind (T.A.N.K)
Break the rules, now (T.A.N.K)
Open up your eyes (T.A.N.K)
No time to waste
We still wanna feel the heat
The blinding light, the deafening noise
Our rage is burning inside you
The eyes seems now wide open
Scream the words
Of rebellion
As one we...
We will make it real
Scream the words
Of rebellion
Writing our own story
Pain will be inflicted
T.A.N.K
It's amazing how your life can change
It's plan and simple as it can bring things
And take perspective before it comes your way
I'm am so thankful to God for this day
'Cause for a long time the streets were my home
Slanging hard, banging hard, got me known
But the reason to live I've been shown you new reason
I gotta be around to see my baby boy grow
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta son now
Street life no more, I gotta make it out
Street life no more, oh, yeah
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta show little man
What life is really about
One more dealing and I'm outta this thing
Need the paper so that I can maintain
I'ma find a job, hopefully something that pays
It's hard to walk away from this figures I made
Grab the money and this don't look right no more
That nigga right there, I think I seen him before
Good thing he didn't make a sell or buy
He gave me four years, I'll be out by the he's five
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta son now
Street life no more, I gotta make it out
Street life no more
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta show little man
What life is really about
Baby, don't cry, I'll be home soon
I left a gang of money in the safe for you
Come alright, I'll make it right through
I just got his picture of his first day in preschool
He's gonna be smart just like his mom
I commend you, black queen for holding on
How many days I think I'ma cry
When I get out no more street life
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta son now
Street life no more, I gotta make it out
Street life no more
Street life no more, I'm throwing in the towel
Street life no more, I gotta show little man
What life is really about
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Street life no more
Don't ask me
Why I am standing here
I seek strolling
About shame in my head
Now easy...
Tell me what's wrong with me
And scream my name
If you remember it
Please, you have to remember
Long time ago you forged the monster in me
While I'm loosing control
Yet I'm loosing my soul
My eyes are blinded by hate
While I'm loosing control
Yet I'm waiting for the call
Is it me? Am I so vile?
Hatred and madness combined
I'm now waiting for a sign
Order me to launch the fury
Man, please stop blowing at me
Oh my thing rightfully mine
There's no faceless foe inside
Now I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
Our worlds...
Hate will drain
The tears falling from your eyes
As your life
Is spilling in mine
Heal the scars
Carved in my furthest past
Transient shade
Reduced to nil
In the end
A forlorn memory
Our worlds collide for the last time
For the last time
Set the mood
light the candles
and bring the wine
I'm wantin you
Been havin this feelin
For sometime now
Come on in
Take off your coat
And stay a while

Strangled by your own filth...
Once upon a time, degenerated
Virtual has become reality
For many of those that life didn't spare
A refuge in bytes instead of arms
Don't! Stop!
Listen to you inner voice
Forgive!
Bury your bullshits six feet under
Whatever you're feeling you hold
I'm trying to figure myself that it's cold
Like the ice of waterfalls
Disdain of a porn industry
That you are using to take control
But I'm not beside you
The future that we already fear
Is now knocking to our window
Drift, straight
Forward to what revolves around us
Dreaming of
Dwelling in darkness, far from reality
No time to pretend the redeemer inside
Addicted to fake, do not cross the borderline
Soft drug damaging, locked up in a cage
Unaware of thoughts, feelings and torments
Escape from this endless maze
Drain the poison in your veins
Poisoned by a false life
Strangled by your own filth
Whatever you're feeling you hold
I'm trying to figure myself that it's cold
A walk in the park
Or late night TV
I'm a kind of simple man
I need you to understand
A car and a dog
An apartment uptown
I don't have much but me
But I'd give it all it we could be
Girl, I'm only one man
Doin' what I can
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be
I'm only one man
Doin' what I can (Mmm, mmm)
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be (Yeah)
A job and a dream (Whoa)
Keep me off the streets
But sometimes I wanna go
So I can buy you fancy clothes and feed you
I pray that some day
My dreams will come true
And the first thing that I'm gonna do
Is promise eternal love to you
Girl, I'm only one man
Doin' what I can (Mmm, mmm)
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be
I'm only one man
Doin' what I can
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be
I'mma just sing it (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
A second time (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
If you're mine (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'mma just take my time (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
So (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Oh (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa, whoa (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Girl, I'm only one man
Doin' what I can
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be
Girl, I'm only one man
Doin' what I can
To give you everything you need
To be everything that I can be
Girl, you know I'm only one man
Tryin' to do the best I can
Girl, you know I'm only one man
Tryin' to do the best I can
Girl, you know I'm only one man
Tryin' to do the best I can

Puttin each other to sleep and dream until tomorrow morning, haha
It's really good to feel you yes it is
Then we drink and start thinkin about all of the shit we did
And the things we still be doing, let’s take time and really own it
Let’s marinate all in it, let’s embellish in the moment
Shit be feelin’ special, don’t it? ‘specially when I’m left alone with you
Nothin’ left to do, mami come and get up on it
See everything is feelin’ right, that’s why we staying home tonight!
(Chorus)
So you can tell ya friends that you ain't going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
They going out tonight but you ain't going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
I make you wanna stay in the house, have a party here on the couch
As I pour this glass of wine
I hope it helps me express these thoughts much no
I don't think I've ever felt the way I felt for you girl
So I'm turning these lights down and I'm telling you right now
I don't think I've never ever really told you how much I need you girl
I need you more than my next breath
Never would I ever leave you cause darling I need you
I need you more than my next breath.
I need
I'm sorry for the times that I stressed you out
And I'm thankful for the times you aint put me out your house
(Yeah oh)
I fell in love more than once but every single time it was with you girl (you) (oh)
I don't think I've never ever really told you how much I need you girl
I need you more than my next breath never would I ever leave you cause darling I need you
I need you more than my next breath.
This is the part where we slow it down
Make love to your mind it's ok you can think out loud (no)
It's four in the morning and I'm pouring out my heart
Girl so much to say I don't know where to start girl oh
(Oh yeah)
I don't think I've never ever really told you how much I need you girl
I need you more than my next breath never would I ever leave you cause darling I need you
I'm still waked up by the sound of life
Crushed in me, I'm only too aware of it
Deprived of will, my heart is still beating
I'm just the witness of my darkest deeds
Created by the madness of a man
Programmed to kill and spread pain
I've burst the eyes of evil by staring at it
Drowned in chaos. If I could flee that doom...
So much lives aborted, always by my hand
So much faces slashed, always in my head
Cause I remember my birth
In this box tainted of blood
Where flames were making love all around
And where deads were telling me stories
Created by the madness of a man
Programmed to kill and spread pain
Animated to destroy existence
I Still Announce I'm Home When I Get In From Work
The Thought Of You Being There Erases All The Hurt
I Check The Fridge Cause Dinner Ain't Sittin' On The Table
I Wanna Try To Eat But Girl I Just Ain't Able
Am I Trippin', Did You Really Tell Me It's Over
Did You Pack Your Bags And Drive Off In My Range Rover
Maybe I, Maybe I, Maybe I Should've Loved You So Much More
Cause My Heart Don't Wanna Let Go
Still Got Your Picture Right Next To My Bed
Still Smell The Perfume That You Used To Wear
The Life I Had With You Is All I Know
And My Heart Don't Wanna Let Go
Girl You Know That I Tried
To Live Without You Baby
But I Still Miss You Like Crazy
Without You Here This House, Is So Damn Cold
Cause My Heart Don't Wanna, My Heart Don't Wanna Let Go
Oh, I Leave The Seat Up And Expect To Hear Your Mouth
My Clothes Ain't Washed Or Folded, What's That All About
My Bowls, My Cups, My Plates Are Piled Up In The Kitchen
I'm Steady Callin' Your Name, But It Seems Like You Ain't Listenin'
Girl You Must Not Understand How Much I Need You
I'm Incomplete Without You
I Had To Be A Fool To Even Try To
Baby Can You Find It In Your Heart

Fade out
Do you mind if I tell the truth for a second, y'all
(The truth)
Hey, hey
No, no, no, no, no
Maybe I deserve to wonder who's callin' so damn late
For you to say I'm trippin'
Just a homie from Upstate
(You said it's just a homie)
Don't he know it's one o'clock in the morning
You say it's cool, baby it's cool
Maybe I deserve for you to say he's coming into town
(Later on this evening)
And he was just wonderin' if you and him could hang out
I don't like it, but I know I gotta trust you
It ain't cool, 'cuz I know it's true
Maybe I deserve
For you to go out and find some other guy
Maybe I deserve
For you to stay out with him all night
Maybe I deserve
For you to do all the things, I did to you
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
For you to go out and find some other guy
Maybe I deserve
For you to stay out with him all night
Maybe I deserve
For you to do all the things, I did to you
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve for you to put on that sexy dress
For me to ask you, Who the hell you tryin' to impress
(The hell you tryin' to impress?)
For you to laugh it off like it ain't nothin'
I know it's somethin'
Maybe, just maybe
Maybe I deserve to sit at home and wonder where you are
Is he kissin' you, touchin' you, holdin' you, what?
Take a drink, to help ease my mind
I wanna be mad
(Wanna be)
After all those times
(After all those times)
Maybe I deserve
For you to go out and find some other guy
Maybe I deserve
For you to stay out with him all night
Maybe I deserve
For you to do all the things, I did to you
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
For you to go out and find some other guy
Maybe I deserve
For you to stay out with him all night
Maybe I deserve
For you to do all the things, I did to you
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I deserve for me to ask you where you been
(Where the hell you been)
Maybe I deserve for you to say, I better stop trippin'
(Don't trip)
Maybe I deserve to grab your neck until you let me know
(You better tell me somethin')
Maybe I deserve for you to run cryin'
Cryin' out the door
Maybe I deserve to grab my coat and chase you down the street
(Don't leave)
Maybe I deserve to say it's not you, it's my own insecurity
Maybe I deserve for you to say "Yes I cheated on you"
(Baby don' told me)
(Maybe I deserve)
And I won't care 'cuz after all I put you through
Maybe I deserve, deserve girl, to be mistreated sometimes
Maybe I deserve to even be lied to sometimes
Maybe I deserve
Maybe, maybe you should go cheat on me
Maybe I should sit and wait by the phone
(Maybe I should)
'Cause I don' paged you about three or four times
Girl I know, girl I know what I put you through baby
I put you through hell
And I don't get less
I don't get less
I don't get less
See we men can't take another man pleasing our women
Oh no, no, we can't even stand waiting by the phone
But we do the same shit, oh damn, oh damn
I know I deserve it, but right now
I hate you so much right now
I brought hers, I did the
Walk up in this mother f*cker like the kid back
You see the ice, you see the leg
Truth is a... to cover up the pay
See loving me for good reason
And disrespecting home you can call a treason
I'm in the bleeding walls with my hard liquor
Don't walk with it tonight I think I'll be cheatin
Chorus:
I told my way to keep the miles coming waiting all around me
I've been single for too... never this coming
Already replaced you with a new girl, new girl
See... the things you do girl
Still lonely, I'm still lonely
I'm study tryin to replace you with a new girl
In the end the only one I need is you girl
I'm standing thinking bout you,
Girl I'm thinking bout you,
Thinking bout you, girl I'm thinking bout you,
All this new girl, they're you girl
Thinking bout you I'll be there I'm thinking bout you yeah

My heart is racing could beat a mountain
All the fact is she up and look good...
Look at them bottles them red bottles...

Look at this damn crown, look at this damn crown
Yes is poppin but if you with it you can lead now
[Chorus:]

But baby if you're listening.

Even If It Kills Me
Can't close my eyes as darkness
Is slowly invading the room
Too many things are burning my mind
It bleeds inside
Can't fight the fucking time
It's running and running again
Too fast for me, too far from me
My mind 's already trapped
Motionless body
Floating in my own spirit
And as the wind becomes my cradle
I feel rocked by the drafts
I sink inside of me
To submerged lands of my being
The blurred is dispelling
All around me, I begin to see...
Not that place again
I have been there before
It is born from pain
See souls crawl on the floor
It's something I fear
I can't stand this anymore
It's some shit I'll seal
That's what I'm craving for
A place where torment reigns
It's crown is made of bones
As I wander in this
Vision of horror I realize...
Nightmare! It has just begun
Will it last forever?
Am I here forever?
... And ever...
How can I escape? My mind is trapped
I was down and out, had no clue what love’s about
Insecure couldn’t figure out, why every good thing just turned into a disappointment.
Had enough, and decided to give it up, stressing ???? was just too much , ?? accepted ___best & wants to be alone

You're like lost in your soul
Forsaken by your essence
You cannot stand to be what you are
So you came to die with us
Why do you still worship our rituals
While you could create your owns?
We don't share!
That's too personal...
Don't steal the thoughts anymore
Don't absorb the lives like before
Benighted entity, blank as the moonlight
You're entombed in an empty shell
Break your voice, scream throughout the night
Abandoned at the bounds of hell
Mesmerized, you're hypnotized
Transfigured by your idols
Take a look inside...
Take a look within your mind
Take a look within your mind
Take a look inside
Seek inside, all your thoughts are dead
Feel inside, your whole brain is burned
You're just the insipid
Reflect of our existence
You cannot stand to be who you are
It would be worse if you were me
Why can't you be aware of your worth?
Instead you behave like shit
Don't follow our footprints anymore
Wandering about this life of pain
Wondering who you are again
Idle ghost
Transparent and useless
Just the avatar of void
Prisoner of a stronghold of shadows
You're roving in it's eternal corridors
Taken away by the draughts
Leaving no track behind
You're the weakness' embodiment
The darkened shadows will remain your
Many nights I wondered why
You were just somethin' in my life
Many days I stayed at home
Tired of life just need to be alone, yeah
I can't see, life without you and me
(I can't see or be anything else, oh, oh)
You're long gone when I need you here
(And I can't blame nobody but myself, so)
So I'm the reason why we're apart
I'm the reason why you won't stay
(I'm the reason)
I'm the cause of these broken hearts
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
I'm the reason why, love, I know, is leaving my life
Many nights I followed you
Just to see if you were telling the truth
Many days I questioned you
I just didn't trust what you said you'd do, oh yeah
I can't see, life without you and me
(I can't see or be anything else, oh yes)
You're long gone when I need you here
(You're long gone)
(And I can't blame nobody but myself)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So I'm the reason why we're apart
(I'm the reason why)
I'm the reason why you won't stay
(Oh, I'm the reason)
I'm the cause of these broken hearts
(These broken hearts)
I'm the reason why love, I know, is leaving my life, oh right
So I'm the reason why we're apart
I'm the reason why you won't stay, oh
Oh, I'm the cause of these broken hearts, yeah
I'm the reason why, love, I know, is leaving my life
I'm the reason why we're apart
(I'm the reason why, reason why)
I'm the reason why we're apart
(I'm the reason why)
I'm the reason why we're apart
I'm the reason why we're
I'm the reason why we're apart
I'm the reason why
Can't believe I
I'm the reason why, oh
Heaven love
I don't know, girl, why I could walk out on you, babe
I was so cold, I did you all so wrong, yeah
The day I bounced on you, you might not even take me
But I'm begging so please pick up the phone 'cause, babe
I'm coming home to you, I'm coming home, sugar
I'm coming home to you, I know it's been awhile but
I need the way you kiss me, I need the way you touch me
I'm coming home to you, heaven love, yeah
When you told me you were fed up with my ***
It was ego that made me turn it around
I told you names and said you'd miss me when I leave
But look at me, I really need you now 'cause, babe
I'm coming home to you, coming home, baby, yeah
I'm coming home to you, it's been awhile, girl

Ooh oh yeah
Can I get something off my chest?
Ooh um hmm
Every now and then I think of all the times we shared
Your the only one who lets me know you really care
I miss you more and more and day by day, it's hard to see
Just how you love me so and everything you gave to me
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I can barely remember the time
The time we were caught in the rain
How you took my hand and you said I have things to say
It's the little things that makes me stronger everyday
I don't know if you hear me somewhere I hope your listening
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
You're the only one
(Be the only one)
Who shined a light into my life
Took me from where I was and
Lead me toward what was right
You're the only one
(Be the only one)
Who shined a light into my life
Took me from where I was and
Lead me toward what was right
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
Well, well
Come on everybody wave ya hands
If ya feel me

Everybody hear me sang..
It's been a long time comin
But a change is bound to come
Somehow i knew, i'd lose you
Cuz of the man that i've become
Only reason for you stayin for me
Is you remember what we had
I'd give up the brighest future
To get those old flames back
I never, ever meant to
Waste yo time (i want u to know)
Everytime i said i love u
It wasn't no lie (i want u to know)
That i miss livin
That's a cold feelin
Without you in my life
That's a slow killin
But i know better
You deserve better
And do whatever
Forever i...

If this is the end
And we don't talk again
Let me say
That i love u
Somehow i went wrong
Hope u hearin this song
Let me say
That i'm sorry for not being the man
I promised i'd always be
But i love you
And that's just the real
Hope u still feel it
Coming from me
It's been a long time comin
Now everybody knows my name
Seems i've traded in my woman
For this fortune and fame
The times she really needed me
And her faith was runnin low
I took time to please everyone else
But not the one closest to my soul
I never, ever meant to
Waste yo time (i want u to know)
Everytime i said i love u
It wasn't no lie (i want u to know)
That i miss livin
That's a cold feelin
Without you in my life
That's a slow killin
But i know better
You deserve better
And do whatever
Forever i...
I love u
If this is the end
And we don't talk again
Let me say
That i love u
Somehow i went wrong
Hope u hearin this song
Let me say
That i'm sorry for not being the man
I promised i'd always be
But i love you
And that's just the real
Hope u still feel it

I saved you
Gave you everything 'cause you were mine
Loved you, now I hate you
[Incomprehensible] that she's a special kinda girl
From the first moment she changed my whole world
A *** fell in love so deep, I couldn't help myself
She wasn't a make for me, I couldn't see nobody else
She was on the move, seeing other dudes
I had to be the only one who didn't know
She was getting by, had me on the run
Disguised as an angel
You needed me and for you I would stay
But you lied to me and how could you dare?
When I saved you, I made you
I gave you everything 'cause you were mine
I loved you, loved you, now I hate you
Listen to me, y'all
[Incomprehensible] that she was everybody's girl
I thought that she belonged to me so I gave her the world
And it's crazy how I just didn't see all the dirt she was doing to me
All the things that I believed, why'd she do this to me?
But she was on the move, seeing other dudes
I had to be the only one who didn't know
She was getting by, had me on the run
Disguised as an angel
You needed me and for you I would stay
But you lied to me and how could you dare?
When I saved you, I made you
I gave you everything 'cause you were mine
I loved you, loved you, now I hate you, oh, I hate you
Why when I put nothing before you?
Why when I did nothing to spoil you?
Why when I was straight up with you?
Why when there wasn't a thing I wouldn't do?
Who put you up to this? Damn, I put my trust in this
I put my heart in this and this is how you thank me?
When I saved you, I made you
I gave you everything 'cause you were mine
I loved you, loved you, now I hate you
I saved you, I made you
I gave you everything 'cause you were mine
I loved you, loved you, now I hate you
I hate you, I hate you
Said I hate, hate, hate, hate
Said I hate, hate, hate you
Said I hate, hate, hate
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Here in the dark
In this final hour
I will lay down my heart
And feel the power if you want
No you won't
I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me
Mornin' will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Somethin it won't
Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And feel the power if you want
No you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
Say you ain't gotta love
You ain't gotta love
You ain't gotta love it
I can't just make you love me
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I tried my best
But you put my heart through the test
I can't make you love me
I tried
I tried to get through to you girl
Can't you see that I'm crying out to you girl
I can't make you love me, OH
Babygirl, tell me how again i'm supposed to trust you now
After everything you admitted to me
And I'm sitting here tryna find a way to forget somehow
Cuz I'm feeling like you cut me too deep
Girl I blame myself cuz I told you ; lay it on the line
Never thought that you would lay it that way
Never thought you had so much to say
Never thought that I'd see the day
Where we almost cross te line between love and hate
Are you sure you told me everything (everything now)
Even though it hurts (I'm missing it)
I'm tryna take it like a man, and halfway understand
Being hurt wasn't part of the plan
It was a heartbreaker
Hearin' things I didn't wanna hear from her
Now I'm thinking 'bout the things I did for her
Glad I never ever had no kids with her, this heartbreaker
Cuz I damn near swallowed my tongue (when she said it to me)
My heart started pounding like a drum (when she said it to me)
Thought the truth was something I could take
But it wasn't supposed to feel like a heartbreak
Now the fact of the matter is, I thought that I'd be cool
(After everything you admitted to me)
It's takin' everything of me, not to put my hands on you
Cuz I'm feelin' like you cut me too deep
Girl I blame myself cuz I told you 2 lay it on the line
Never thought that you would lay it that way
Never thought you had so much to say
Never thought that I'd see the day
When we'd almost cross the line betweeen love and hate
Are you sure you told me everything (don't need no surprises)
Even though it hurts, I'm missing it (I'm hurtin', I'm tryna hide it)
I'm tryna take it like a man, and halfway understand
Being hurt wasn't part of the plan
I've had my share of broken hearts, but girl you took it too far
Cuz What you did to me was so unpredictable
Yeah you told me, but I wish i didn't know
Now Why you wanna go and break me down (down, way down)
It's like I'm lost, never to be found
And it aint like I'm six feet under ground (ground)
You didn't have to tell me cuz
I damn near swallowed my tongue (when she said it to me)
My heart started pounding like a drum (when she said it to me)
Thought the truth was something I could take
Tank:

Things you did for me yea Aye, said I do said I do do yea, I still got you
By all these piercing stares
By all these fiendish words
By all these unsightable people
By all these haunting thoughts
A wall of scorn bred by fear
Surrounds me, I am gonna touch it
The skin is cold as a stone
Kept by this morbid phobia
I've never felt so much hate
I will gore their eyes out
I wanna break the hearsay
I set my place in motion
Living my all life as someone who feels
That his madness is controlling his brain
So destructed by your waste
Disturbed as much as I could
I believed, I believed in you
And when I come to your desk
I feel your fear coming through
I believe, I believe in you
I'm getting bored of being abused
I'm getting bored of all these deceptions
My mind is tired of being torn apart
Upon this bed, we try to fly
My spirit's tired of being scorched
Close to the edge of fury and despair
Fall from your throne
To the borders of consciousness
To realize
How dark is my task
See my decline
Bathing in this red material
I tear off your sanity
And breathe your life
Feeling abused
I believed in you
Feeling confused
It's one of 'em Fort Knox joints
Cavy, OD, Tank, do it
Won't you feel me?
Come on an' drink, lover

Let's go
Welcome stranger in this place
Where bodies are used to rest
I'm the owner of this place
The forensic scientist
Open the drawer if you dare
They say you're a coward, don't you care?
Your face is white, your hands are cold
Just as the corpse you're about to hold
Now you're ought to incise
This corpse laid down beside you
Throw out this sheet to blame his head
And has your head is bleaker
You're trying to surrender
To late you've chosen the wrong way
Wrong way
Plunging the scalpel in the chest
Smelling at the odour
It's nothing compared to gristle
And the worms gesture
I've shown you all and I was fair
Now this your turn to be square
Show me the barrier of your thoughts
No one of you is about to flout
Far away from what you expected
Streams of conscience now resound inside my head
No sorrow
Just believe
Never too late to find
What you're endowed for
Sparkling in my blood
There is something else
This nightmare
I'm the corpse

I'm so close
(I'm so close and I)
I can feel it
(Feel it, oh)
I'm so close
(I'm so close)
I can feel it
(I can feel it, um)
Started on the telephone, promisin' all night long
Didn't know what I was gettin' myself into
Up and down, back and forth
Slow down and give me more
Tryin' to fight it but I don't think it's right to
I'm so close
(Oh yeah)
I can feel it
(Said I can feel it, baby, oh)
I'm so close
(Oh, no)

(I can feel it, I can feel it, baby
Oh, let me hold you)
Body's touchin' then we kissin'
Holdin' tight, sweat dripping

Heart racing, you're running

(I can fight it, no)
I'm so close, I can feel it

[Tank]

Baby come on in and wrap your gift

Some tailormade for you
[Chorus]
It's oooh, oooooooh
You don't wanna miss this it feels like it's Christmas
Like ohh, ohhhhhhhhh
Yeah its a holiday but I'm open for business
We got a bottle of that Rose
Baby we gon celebrate
Make it feel like its your brithday
Baby girl lets celebrate
Party after party I cant wait to celebrate
All up on your body
Baby your my sensei
Baby 4th of July
Right between your thighs it's like fireworks
Just light up the sky
Don't need no reservation your my invitation
To this love making
This a celebration
When you last close the door
Lets teach you this sex education
Since you passed every course
Hats off to your graduation
It's like oooh, ooooooooh
[Chorus]
[Drake]
How'd I do how'd I do, baby tell me how you feel
They say real girls ain't never perfect, perfect girls ain't real
I'd I agree, but I guess we'll just wait and see
Cause I swear you act like perfect is the only way to be
Nothing matters 'cept for you, don't let no one out here blind you
Don't remember why you love me, please allow me to remind you
And I know you left me once, but I came right back to find you
Even though I like being in your past you got a bright future behind you
Oh, damn, oh
Girl I must admit I look amazing next to you
Girl you crazy, sexy, cool and you stayed obsessed to school
But that's good, cause you know that them grades impress me too
And my free days are just for you, but I don't get many
Its like every time we spend time, it feels like the first time
Cause we never spend enough time, you catch me at the worst time
It ain't like your not worth time, just I don't control it
But tonight I made it happen just to celebrate the moment
Give it up one time
Can't believe it's morning
The sun ain't even out but I gotta get up
But this ain't a typical morning
See something just don't feel right
Some of your missed calls in my phone
Just got a text saying turn the T.V on
Can't believe what I'm hearing on the news
Tragedy hit last night
It's critical, could take a miracle
How much time is left, no one really knows
Know matter what it's gotta survive
No we can't let love die
Chorus
We mistreat it
When we need it
I'll do anything to keep you alive
I can't let love die
If I had to, I'd be glad to
Sacrifice my own life
I can't let love die (can't let it die)
Can't let love, can't let love I 3x
Can't let love die
Sorry for taking you for granted
But I wanna make it right
I'm hoping that you hear me
Done a whole lot of damage
But without you my world stands still
So many times all I had to do was care
And when you needed me
I wasn't even there
So now I hear you need a heart to live
If no one gives theirs, I will
It's critical, could take a miracle
How much time is left, no one really knows
Know matter what it's gotta survive
No we can't let love die
Chorus
We mistreat it
When we need it
I'll do anything to keep you alive
I can't let love die
If I had to, I'd be glad to
Sacrifice my own life
I can't let love die (can't let it die)
Can't let love, can't let love I 3x
Can't let love die
*TALKING*
It's like without love we just out here on our own so whatever it takes we
Just...
*SINGS*
Can't let love die
We mistreat it
When we need it
I'll do anything to keep you alive
I can't let love die
If I had to, I'd be glad to
Sacrifice my own life
I can't let love die (can't let it die)
Can't let love, can't let love I 3x
Can't let love die
Can't let love, can't let love I 3x
I just hope your ready
'Cause I'm ready
(Oooo ohhh ohh aahh)
I'm waitin' on you baby
(Yeee yeahh... ohh oh)
Yeah
You know, I don't know, how long it's been for you since, somebody's actually taken their time and made you feel special
(Ohhhhh baby)
But baby, I got all night
And the thing (Ohh oh ohhh) I wanna do to you, it's...
It's spiritual
What I wanna do... is I wanna make love (I'm gonna make love)
To every part of (to you) your body
To your mind (Oh oh ohhh)
To your heart
And to your soul (Oooh oh wooo I wanna make love)
Can I do that for you? (Let me do it)
[Laugh] (Woo wooo ooo oo) I wanna do that
Yeah
Sorrow take care of us
Idiot why, don't give up?
Mud face, conspiration
What you think forget it you are wrong
Giving my hand before his hand
I see his pain, crying again
War! War is my life
Remain my suffering misery
If I had been alone
You could not have listened to my lament
I just can't take it anymore
To put a man dead
My fight is not a choice
In fact your acts are false
Obey, explode your soul
Don't think you serve the world
You are the puppet of your country
Brother in arms, just cease fire
Deposit weapons, forget hate
Tired and blown, remorse for killing so much
I saw him, enemy
Face to the ground, bleeding so much
I can't believe I'm inside you so far from me
It's like a soothing wound
This burning flesh is once more sucking my life out
I am about to pass away
Now bury the pride you've faked, you're about to suffer me
Bury all these moral thoughts
You're like I want you to be
The glimmer in your eyes betrayed your ascetic figure
As I was starving to death
As I was begging for help
You came, my favorite prey
"Follow me down to our beautiful agony"
The smell of lust emanates from
These pieces of scalding skin
It is torturing me
The fist of your aura is closing on my spine
Nails are sinking into my flesh
What little control which remained in me is leaving
Forsaken to your fangs...
As I was starving to death
As I was begging for help
You came, my favourite prey
Follow me down to our beautiful agony
As I was fighting to smile
As I was seeking the light
My truly beloved victim
I will bring you to our beautiful agony
Now fall deep in my arms
Let my thirst burst
Plead me to empty your mind,
To unleash the passion
Thoughtless, this is what you become
Condemned to endure your vices
Crawl down like dead, face on the ground
Invoke my pity
I will ignore these abstracts shapes
Gathered in your dark eyes
I will pretend you're not this kind of Goddess

A tank is a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield.[1]
Tanks in World War I were developed separately and simultaneously by Great Britain and France as a means to break the deadlock of trench warfare. Their first use in combat was by the British Army on September 15, 1916 at Flers-Courcelette, during the Battle of the Somme. The name "tank" was adopted in Great Britain during the early stages of their development, as a security measure to conceal their purpose (see Etymology).
Tanks of the interwar period evolved into the designs of World War II. Important concepts of armoured warfare were developed; the Soviet Union launched the first mass tank/air attack at Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan) in August 1939,[2] which later resulted in the T-34, a predecessor of the main battle tank; this was quickly followed up by Germany on a larger scale when they introduced blitzkrieg ('lightning war') less than two weeks later; a technique which made use of massed concentrations of tanks supported by artillery and air power to break through the enemy front and cause a complete collapse in enemy resistance and morale.
Tanks in the Cold War advanced to counter greater battlefield threats. Tanks became larger and their armour became thicker and much more effective. Advances in manufacturing late in the war allowed the mass production of composite armor. Aspects of gun technology changed significantly as well, with advances in shell design.
During the 20th century, main battle tanks were considered a key component of modern armies.[3] In the 21st century, with the increasing role of asymetrical warfare and the end of the Cold War, that also contributed to the increase of cost-effective Russian anti-tank weapons worldwide, the importance of tanks has waned. Modern tanks seldom operate alone, as they are organized into armoured units which involve the support of infantry, who may accompany the tanks in infantry fighting vehicles. They are also usually supported by reconnaissance or ground-attack aircraft.[4]

History[link]
Main article: History of the tank
Conception[link]
The tank is the 20th century realization of an ancient concept: that of providing troops with mobile protection and firepower. Since biblical times men had constructed or imagined such vehicles propelled by human or animal muscle-power, by sail, or more recently, by steam power. Only when comparatively recent technologies were combined did the tank become a practical possibility; those were the internal combustion engine, armour plate, and the continuous track.
Armoured trains appeared in the mid-19th century, and various armoured steam- and petrol-engined vehicles were also proposed. The first armoured car was produced in Austria in 1904. However, all were restricted to rails or reasonably passable terrain. It was the development of a practical caterpillar track that provided the necessary independent, all-terrain mobility.
Many sources imply that Leonardo da Vinci and H.G. Wells in some way foresaw or "invented" the Tank. Da Vinci's late 15th century drawings of what some describe as a "tank" show a man-powered, wheeled vehicle with cannons all around it.[5] The machines described in Wells's 1903 short story The Land Ironclads are a step closer, in being armour-plated, having an internal power plant, and being able to cross trenches. Some aspects of the story foresee the tactical use and impact of the tanks that later came into being. However, Wells's vehicles were driven by steam and moved on Pedrail wheels, technologies that were already outdated at the time of writing. After seeing British tanks in 1916, Wells denied having "invented" them, writing, "Yet let me state at once that I was not their prime originator. I took up an idea, manipulated it slightly, and handed it on."[6] It is, though, possible that one of the British tank pioneers, Ernest Swinton, was subconsciously or otherwise influenced by Wells's tale.[7][8]
The "caterpillar" track arose from attempts to improve the mobility of wheeled vehicles by spreading their weight, reducing ground pressure, and increasing their adhesive friction. Experiments can be traced back as far as the 17th century, and by the late nineteenth they existed in various recognizable and practical forms in several countries.
It is frequently claimed that Richard Lovell Edgeworth created a caterpillar track. It is true that in 1770 he patented a "machine, that should carry and lay down its own road", but this was Edgeworth's choice of words. His own account in his autobiography is of a horse-drawn wooden carriage on eight retractable legs, capable of lifting itself over high walls. The description bears no similarity to a caterpillar track.[9]
The first combinations of the three principal components of the Tank appeared in the decade before World War One. In 1903, a Captain Levavasseur of the French Artillery proposed mounting a field gun in an armoured box on tracks. A Major in the British Army's Mechanical Transport Service suggested fixing a gun and armoured shield on a British type of track-driven vehicle.[10] In 1911, a Lieutenant Engineer in the Austrian Army, Günther Burstyn, presented to the Austrian and Prussian War Ministries plans for a two-man tank with a gun in a revolving turret.[11] In the same year an Australian civil engineer named Lancelot de Mole submitted a basic design for a tracked, armoured vehicle to the British War Office.[12] In Russia, Vasiliy Mendeleev designed a tracked vehicle containing a large naval gun.[13]
All of these ideas were rejected and, by 1914, forgotten, although it was officially acknowledged after the War that de Mole's design was at least the equal of the tanks that were later produced by Great Britain, and he was voted a cash payment for his contribution. Various individuals continued to contemplate the use of tracked vehicles for military applications, but by the outbreak of the War no one in a position of responsibility in any army had any thoughts about tanks.[citation needed]
World War I[link]
Main article: Tanks in World War I
Great Britain
From late 1914 a small number of middle-ranking British Army officers tried to persuade the War Office and the Government to consider the creation of armoured vehicles. Amongst their suggestions was the use of caterpillar tractors, but although the Army used many such vehicles for towing heavy guns, it could not be persuaded that they could be adapted as armoured vehicles. The consequence was that early tank development in Great Britain was carried out by the Royal Navy.
As the result of an approach by Royal Naval Air Service officers who had been operating armoured cars on the Western Front, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.[14] formed the Landships Committee, on 20 February 1915. The Director of Naval Construction for the Royal Navy, Eustace Tennyson d'Eyncourt, was appointed to head the Committee in view of his experience with the engineering methods it was felt might be required; the two other members were naval officers, and a number of industrialists were engaged as consultants. So many played a part in its long and complicated development that it is not possible to name any individual as the sole inventor of the tank,[15] though the British Government later made proportionate cash awards to those it considered to have contributed. Their first design, Little Willie, ran for the first time in September 1915 and served to develop the form of the track but an improved design, better able to cross trenches, swiftly followed and in January 1916 the prototype, nicknamed "Mother", was adopted as the design for future tanks. Production models of "Male" tanks (armed with naval cannon and machine guns) and "Females" (carrying only machine-guns) would go on to fight in history's first tank action at the Somme in September 1916.[14][16] Great Britain produced about 2,600 tanks of various types during the War.[17]
The first tank to engage in battle was designated D1, a British Mark I Male, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (part of the wider Somme offensive) on 15 September 1916.[18]
France
Whilst several experimental machines were investigated in France, it was a colonel of artillery, J.B.E. Estienne, who directly approached the Commander-in-Chief with detailed plans for a tank on caterpillar tracks, in late 1915. The result was two largely unsatisfactory types of tank, 400 each of the Schneider and Saint-Chamond, both based on the Holt Tractor.
The following year, the French pioneered the use of a full 360° rotation turret in a tank for the first time, with the creation of the Renault FT light tank, with the turret containing the tank's main armament. Aside of the traversable turret another innovative feature of the FT was its engine located at the rear. This pattern, with the gun located in a mounted turret and the engine at the back, became the standard for most succeeding tanks across the world even to this day.[19] The FT was the most numerous tank of the War; over 3,000 were made by late 1918.
Germany
In contrast to World War II, Germany fielded very few tanks during World War I, with only 20 of the A7V type being produced during the war.[20] The first tank versus tank action took place on 24 April 1918 at the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, France, when three British Mark IVs met three German A7Vs. Captured British Mk IVs formed the bulk of Germany's tank forces during WWI; about 35 were in service at any one time. Plans to expanded the tank programme were under way when the War ended.
Other Nations
The United States used tanks supplied by France and Great Britain during WWI. Production of American-built tanks had just begun when the War came to an end. Italy also manufactured two Fiat 2000s towards the end of the War, too late to see service. Russia independently built and trialled two prototypes early in the War; the tracked, two-man Vezdekhod and the huge Lebedenko, but neither went into production. A tracked self-propelled gun was also designed but not produced.[21]
Although tank tactics developed rapidly during the war, piecemeal deployments, mechanical problems, and poor mobility limited the military significance of the tank in World War I, and the tank did not fulfil its promise of rendering trench warfare obsolete. Nonetheless, it was clear to military thinkers on both sides that tanks would play a significant role in future conflicts.[22]
Interwar period[link]
Main article: Tanks of the interwar period
In the interwar period tanks underwent further mechanical development. In terms of tactics, J.F.C. Fuller's doctrine of spearhead attacks with massed tank formations was the basis for work by Heinz Guderian in Germany, Percy Hobart in Britain, Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., in the U.S., Charles de Gaulle in France, and Mikhail Tukhachevsky in the USSR. All came to similar conclusions, but in the Second World War only Germany would initially put the theory into practice on a large scale, and it was their superior tactics and French blunders, not superior weapons, that made blitzkrieg so successful in May 1940.[23] For information regarding tank development in this period, see tank development between the wars.
Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union all experimented heavily with tank warfare during their clandestine and “volunteer” involvement in the Spanish Civil War, which saw some of the earliest examples of successful mechanised combined arms — such as when Republican troops, equipped with Soviet-supplied medium tanks and supported by aircraft, eventually routed Italian troops fighting for the Nationalists in the seven-day Battle of Guadalajara in 1937.[24] However, of the nearly 700 tanks deployed during this conflict, only about 64 tanks representing the Franco faction and 331 from the Republican side were equipped with cannon, and of those 64 nearly all were WWI vintage Renault FT tanks, while the 331 Soviet supplied machines had 45mm main guns and were of 1930s manufacture.[25] With the balance of Nationalist tanks being machine gun armed tanks. The primary lesson learned from this war was that machine gun armed tanks had to be equipped with cannon, with the associated armor inherent to modern tanks.
The five month long war between the Soviet Union and the Japanese 6th Army at Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan) in 1939 brought home some better lessons. In this conflict, and although the Japanese only deployed about 73 cannon armed tanks, the Soviets fielded nearly a thousand, with the major difference being that Japanese armor were equipped with diesel engines and the Russian tanks petrol ones.[26] Even after General Georgy Zhukov sounded a bitter defeat on the Japanese 6th Army with his massed combined tank and air attack, the Soviets had learned a bitter lesson on the use of gasoline engines, and quickly incorporated those newly found experiences into their new T-34 medium tank during WWII. [27]
World War II[link]
Main article: Tanks in World War II
World War II was the first conflict where armoured vehicles were critical to success on the battlefield and in this period the tank developed rapidly as a weapon system. It showed how an armoured force was capable of achieving a tactical victory in an unprecedentedly short amount of time. At the same time, however, the development of effective anti-tank weaponry demonstrated that the tank was not invulnerable.
Prior to World War II the tactics and strategy of deploying tank forces underwent a revolution. In August 1939 Soviet General Georgy Zhukov utilized the combined force of tanks and airpower at Nomonhan against the Japanese 6th Army;[28] Heinz Guderian, a tactical theoretician who was heavily involved in the formation of the first independent German tank force, said "Where tanks are, the front is", and this concept became a reality in World War II.[29] Following the Invasion of Poland where tanks performed in a more traditional role in close cooperation with infantry units, in the Battle of France deep independent armoured penetrations were executed by the Germans, a technique later called blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg made use of innovative combined arms tactics and radios in all of the tanks to provide a level of tactical flexibility and power that surpassed that of the Allied armour. The French Army, with tanks equal or superior to the German tanks in both quality and quantity, employed a linear defensive strategy in which the armoured cavalry units were made subservient to infantry as "support weapons".[23] In addition, they lacked radios in many of their tanks and headquarters,[30] which limited their ability to respond to German attacks.
In accordance with blitzkrieg methods, German tanks bypassed enemy strongpoints and could radio for close air support to destroy them, or leave them to the infantry. A related development, motorized infantry, allowed some of the troops to keep up with the tanks and create highly mobile combined arms forces.[23] The defeat of a major military power within weeks shocked the rest of the world, resulting in an increased focus on tank and anti-tank weapon development.
The North African Campaign also provided an important battleground for tanks, as the flat, desolate terrain with relatively few obstacles or urban environments was ideal for conducting mobile armoured warfare. However, this battlefield also showed the importance of logistics, especially in an armoured force, as the principal warring armies, the German Afrika Korps and the British Eighth Army, often outpaced their supply trains in repeated attacks and counter-attacks on each other, resulting in complete stalemate. This situation would not be resolved until 1942, when during the Second Battle of El Alamein, the Afrika Korps, crippled by disruptions in their supply lines, was forced to retreat by a massively reinforced Eighth Army, the first in a series of defeats that would eventually lead to the surrender of the remaining Axis forces in Tunisia.
The German invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa, started with the Soviets having a superior tank design, the T-34.[31] A lack of preparations for the Axis surprise attack, mechanical problems, poor training of the crews and incompetent leadership caused the Soviet machines to be surrounded and destroyed in large numbers. However, interference from Adolf Hitler,[32] the geographic scale of the conflict, the dogged resistance of the Soviet combat troops, and Soviet manpower and production capability prevented a repeat of the Blitzkrieg of 1940.[33] Despite early successes against the Soviets, the Germans were forced to up-gun their Panzer IVs, and to design and build larger and more expensive Panther and Tiger tanks. In doing so, the Wehrmacht denied the infantry and other support arms the production priorities that they needed to remain equal partners with the increasingly sophisticated tanks, in turn violating the principle of combined arms they had pioneered.[3] Soviet developments following the invasion included upgunning the T-34, development of self-propelled anti-tank guns such as the SU-152, and deployment of the IS-2 in the closing stages of the war.
When entering World War II, America's mass production capacity enabled her to rapidly construct thousands of relatively cheap M4 Sherman medium tanks. A compromise all round, the Sherman was reliable and formed a large part of the Anglo-American ground forces, but in a tank-versus-tank battle was no match for the Panther or Tiger.[34] Numerical and logistical superiority and the successful use of combined arms allowed the Allies to overrun the German forces during the Battle of Normandy. Upgunned versions with the 76 mm gun M1 and the 17 pounder were introduced to improve the M4's firepower, but concerns about protection remained.
Tank hulls[35] were modified to produce flame tanks, mobile rocket artillery, and combat engineering vehicles for tasks including mine-clearing and bridging. Specialised self-propelled guns were also developed: tank destroyers and assault guns were cheap, stripped down tanks carrying heavy guns, often in a fixed hull mounting. The firepower and low cost of these vehicles made them attractive but as manufacturing techniques improved and larger turret rings made larger tank guns feasible, the gun turret was recognised as the most effective mounting for the main gun to allow movement in a different direction from firing, enhancing tactical flexibility.[23]
The Cold War arms race[link]
Main article: Tanks in the Cold War
During the Cold War, tension between the Warsaw Pact countries and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) countries created an arms race that ensured that tank development proceeded largely as it had during World War II. The essence of tank designs during the Cold War had been hammered out in the closing stages of World War II. Large turrets, capable suspension systems, greatly improved engines, sloped armour and large-calibre (90 mm and larger) guns were standard. Tank design during the Cold War built on this foundation and included improvements to fire control, gyroscopic gun stabilisation, communications (primarily radio) and crew comfort and saw the introduction of laser rangefinders and infrared night vision equipment. Armour technology progressed in an ongoing race against improvements in anti-tank weapons, especially antitank guided missiles like the TOW.
Medium tanks of World War II, evolved into the main battle tank (MBT) of the Cold War and took over the majority of tank roles on the battlefield. This gradual transition occurred in the 1950s and 1960s due to anti-tank guided missiles, sabot ammunition and high explosive anti-tank warheads. World War II had shown that the speed of a light tank was no substitute for armour and firepower and heavy tanks were as vulnerable as medium tanks to newer weapon technology, rendering them obsolete.
In a trend started in World War II, economies of scale led to serial production of progressively upgraded models of all major tanks during the Cold War. For the same reason many upgraded post-World War II tanks and their derivatives (for example, the T-55 and T-72) remain in active service around the world, and even an obsolete tank may be the most formidable weapon on battlefields in many parts of the world.[37] Among the tanks of the 1950s were the British Centurion and Soviet T-54/55 in service from 1946, and the US M48 from 1951.[38] These three vehicles formed the bulk of the armoured forces of NATO and the Warsaw Pact throughout much of the Cold War. Lessons learned from tanks such as the Leopard 1, M48 Patton series, Chieftain, and T-72 led to the contemporary Leopard 2, M1 Abrams, Challenger 2, C1 Ariete, T-90 and Merkava IV.
Tanks and anti-tank weapons of the Cold War era saw action in a number of proxy wars like the Korean War, Vietnam War, Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, Soviet war in Afghanistan and Arab-Israeli conflicts, culminating with the Yom Kippur War. The T-55, for example, has seen action in no fewer than 32 conflicts. In these wars the USA or NATO countries and the Soviet Union or China consistently backed opposing forces. Proxy wars were studied by Western and Soviet military analysts and provided a grim contribution to the Cold War tank development process.
Present[link]
The role of tank vs. tank combat is becoming diminished. Tanks work in concert with infantry in urban warfare by deploying them ahead of the platoon. When engaging enemy infantry, tanks can provide covering fire on the battlefield. Conversely, tanks can spearhead attacks when infantry are deployed in personnel carriers.[39]
Tanks were used to spearhead the initial invasion of Iraq. As of 2005, there were 1,100 M1 Abrams used by the United States Army in the course of the Iraq War, and they have proven to have an unexpectedly high level of vulnerability to roadside bombs.[40] A relatively new type of remotely detonated mine, the explosively formed penetrator has been used with some success against American armoured vehicles (particularly the Bradley fighting vehicle). However, with upgrades to their armour in the rear, M1s have proven invaluable in fighting insurgents in urban combat, particularly at the Battle of Fallujah, where the Marines brought in two extra brigades.[41] Britain deployed its Challenger 2 tanks to support its operations in southern Iraq.
Israeli Merkava tanks contain features that enable them to support infantry in low intensity conflicts (LIC) and counter-terrorism operations. Such features are the rear door and rear corridor, enabling the tank to carry infantry and embark safely; the IMI APAM-MP-T multi-purpose ammunition round, advanced C4IS systems and recently: TROPHY active protection system which protects the tank from shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons. During the Second Intifada further modifications were made, designated as "Merkava Mk. 3d Baz LIC".
Research and development[link]
In terms of firepower, the focus of current R&D is on increased detection capability such as thermal imagers, automated fire control systems and increased muzzle energy from the gun to improve range, accuracy and armour penetration.[42] The most mature future gun technology is the electrothermal-chemical gun.[43] The XM291 electrothermal-chemical tank gun has gone through successful multiple firing sequences on a modified M8 Armored Gun System chassis.[44]
To improve tank protection, one field of research involves making the tank invisible to radar by adapting stealth technologies originally designed for aircraft. Improvements to camouflage or and attempts to render it invisible through active camouflage is being pursued. Research is also ongoing in electromagnetic armour systems to disperse or deflect incoming shaped charge jets,[45][46] as well as various forms of active protection systems to prevent incoming projectiles from striking the tank at all.
Mobility may be enhanced in future tanks by the use of diesel-electric or turbine-electric series hybrid drives improving fuel efficiency while reducing the size and weight of the power plant.[47] Furthermore, advances in gas turbine technology, including the use of advanced recuperators,[48] have allowed for reduction in engine volume and mass to less than 1 m3 and 1 metric ton, respectively, while maintaining fuel efficiency similar to that of a diesel engine.[49]
In line with the new doctrine of network-centric warfare, the modern battle tank shows increasing sophistication in its electronics and communication systems.
Design[link]

The three traditional factors determining a tank's capability effectiveness are its firepower, protection, and mobility. Firepower is the ability of a tank's crew to identify, engage, and destroy the enemy. Protection is the tank crew's ability to evade detection, preserve themselves from enemy fire, and retain full vehicle functionality after combat. Mobility includes the ability of the tank to be transported by rail, sea, or air to the operational staging area; from the staging area by road towards the enemy; and tactical movement over the battlefield during combat, including traversing of obstacles and rough terrain.
Tank design is a compromise between its technological and budgetary constraints and its tactical capability requirements. It is not possible to maximise firepower, protection and mobility simultaneously while incorporating the latest technology and retain affordability for sufficient procurement quantity to enter production. For example, in the case of tactical capability requirements, increasing protection by adding armour will result in an increase in weight and therefore decrease in mobility; increasing firepower by installing a larger gun will force the designer team to increase armour, the therefore weight of the tank by retaining same internal volume to ensure crew efficiency during combat. In the case of the Abrams MBT which has good firepower, speed and armour, these advantages are counterbalanced by its engine's notably high fuel consumption, which ultimately reduces its range, and in a larger sense its mobility.
Since the Second World War, the economics of tank production governed by the complexity of manufacture and cost, and the impact of a given tank design on logistics and field maintenance capabilities, have also been accepted as important in determining how many tanks a nation can afford to field in its force structure.
Some tank designs that were fielded in significant numbers, such as Tiger I and M60A2 proved to be too complex or expensive to manufacture, and made unsustainable demands on the logistics services support of the armed forces. The affordability of the design therefore takes precedence over the combat capability requirements. Nowhere was this principle illustrated better than during the Second World War when two Allied designs, the T-34 and the M4 Sherman, although both simple designs which accepted engineering compromises, were used successfully against more sophisticated designs by Germany that were more complex and expensive to produce, and more demanding on overstretched logistics of the Wehrmacht. Given that a tank crew will spend most of its time occupied with maintenance of the vehicle, engineering simplicity has become the primary constraint on tank design since the Second World War despite advances in mechanical, electrical and electronics technologies.
Since the Second World War, tank development has incorporated experimenting with significant mechanical changes to the tank design while focusing on technological advances in the tank's many subsystems to improve its performance. However, a number of novel designs have appeared throughout this period with mixed success, including the Soviet IT-1 and T-64 in firepower, and the Israeli Merkava and Swedish S-tank in protection, while for decades the USA's M551 remained the only light tank deployable by parachute.

Tank design engineering[link]
A noted author on the subject of tank design engineering Richard M Ogorkiewicz[50] outlined the following basic engineering sub-systems that are commonly incorporated into tank's technological development:
- Mobility of tanks (through chassis design)
- Tank Engines
- Tank Transmissions
- Suspensions and Running gear
- Soil-Vehicle Mechanics
- Tank guns and Ammunition
- Ballistics and Mechanics of Tank Guns
- Vision and Sighting Systems
- Illuminating and Night Vision Systems
- Fire Control Systems for main and auxiliary weapons
- Gun Control Systems
- Guided Weapons
- Armour Protection
- Configuration of Tanks
To the above can be added unit communication systems and electronic anti-tank countermeasures, crew ergonomic and survival systems (including flame suppression), and provision for technological upgrading. Most tank designs have rarely survived their entire service life without some upgrading or modernisation, particularly during wartime, including some that changed almost beyond recognition, such as the latest Israeli Magach versions.
The characteristics of a tank are determined by the performance criteria required for the tank. The obstacles that must be traversed affect the vehicles front and rear profiles. The terrain that is expected to be traversed determines the track ground pressure that may be allowed to be exerted for that particular terrain.[51]
Offensive capabilities[link]
Main article: Tank gun
The main weapon of all modern tanks is a single, large-calibre gun mounted in a fully traversing turret weapon mount. The typical tank gun is a smoothbore weapon capable of firing armor-piercing kinetic energy penetrators (KEP), also known as armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS), and/or armour piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS) and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shells, and/or high explosive squash head (HESH) and/or anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) to destroy armoured targets, as well as high explosive (HE) shells for engaging soft targets or fortifications. Canister shot may be used in close or urban combat situations where the risk of hitting friendly forces with shrapnel from HE rounds is unacceptably high.[41]
A gyroscope is used to stabilise the main gun, allowing it to be effectively aimed and fired at the "short halt" or on the move. Modern tank guns are also commonly fitted with insulating thermal jackets to reduce gun-barrel warping caused by uneven thermal expansion, bore evacuators to minimise fumes entering the crew compartment and sometimes muzzle brakes to minimise the effect of recoil on accuracy and rate of fire.
Traditionally, target detection relied on visual identification. This was accomplished from within the tank through telescopic periscopes; occasionally however, tank commanders would open up the hatch to view the outside surroundings, which improved situational awareness but incurred the penalty of vulnerability to sniper fire, especially in jungle and urban conditions. Though several developments in target detection have taken place especially recently, these methods are still common practice.
In some cases spotting rifles were used confirm proper trajectory and range to a target. These spotting rifles were mounted co-axially to the main gun, and fired tracer ammunition ballistically matched to the gun itself. The gunner would track the movement of the tracer round in flight, and upon impact with a hard surface, it would give off a flash and a puff of smoke, after which the main gun was immediately fired. However these have been mostly superseded by laser rangefinding equipment.
Modern tanks also use sophisticated light intensification and thermal imaging equipment to improve fighting capability at night, in poor weather and in smoke. The accuracy of modern tank guns is pushed to the mechanical limit by computerised fire-control systems. A fire-control system uses a laser rangefinder to determine the range to the target, a thermocouple, anemometer and wind vane to correct for weather effects and a muzzle referencing system to correct for gun-barrel temperature, warping and wear. Two sightings of a target with the range-finder enable calculation of the target movement vector. This information is combined with the known movement of the tank and the principles of ballistics to calculate the elevation and aim point that maximises the probability of hitting the target.
Usually, tanks carry smaller calibre armament for short-range defence where fire from the main weapon would be ineffective, for example when engaging infantry, light vehicles or aircraft. A typical complement of secondary weapons is a general-purpose machine gun mounted coaxially with the main gun, and a heavier anti-aircraft machine gun on the turret roof. These weapons are often modified variants of those used by infantry, and so utilise the same kinds of ammunition.
Countermeasures[link]
1: Composite armour in the turret
2: Third generation Kontakt-5 ERA
3: Shtora-1 countermeasures suite.
See also: Anti-tank warfare
The measure of a tank's protection is the combination of its ability to avoid detection, to avoid being hit by enemy fire, its resistance to the effects of enemy fire, and its capacity to sustain damage whilst still completing its objective, or at least protecting its crew. In common with most unit types, tanks are subject to additional hazards in wooded and urban combat environments which largely negate the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower and mobility, limit the crew's detection capabilities and can restrict turret traverse. Despite these disadvantages, tanks retain high survivability against previous-generation rocket-propelled grenades in all combat environments by virtue of their armour.
However, as effective and advanced as armour plating has become, tank survivability against newer-generation (1980s) tandem-warhead anti-tank missiles is a concern for military planners.[52] For example, the RPG-29 is able to penetrate the frontal hull armour of the Challenger II[53][54] and also managed to damage a M1 Abrams.[55]
Avoiding detection[link]
Further information: Military deception
A tank avoids detection using the doctrine of CCD: camouflage (looks the same as the surroundings), concealment (cannot be seen) and deception (looks like something else).
Working against efforts to avoid detection is the fact that a tank is a large metallic object with a distinctive, angular silhouette that emits copious heat and noise. Consequently, it is difficult to effectively camouflage a hull-up tank in the absence of some form of cover or concealment (e.g., woods). The tank becomes easier to detect when moving (typically, whenever it is in use) due to the large, distinctive auditory, vibration and thermal signature of its power plant. Tank tracks and dust clouds also betray past or present tank movement. Switched-off tanks are vulnerable to infra-red detection due to differences between the thermal conductivity and therefore heat dissipation of the metallic tank and its surroundings. At close range the tank can be detected even when powered down and fully concealed due to the column of warmer air above the tank and the smell of diesel.
Thermal blankets slow the rate of heat emission and camouflage nets use a mix of materials with differing thermal properties to operate in the infra-red as well as the visible spectrum. Camouflage attempts to break up the distinctive appearance and silhouette of a tank. Adopting a turret-down or hull-down position reduces the visible silhouette of a tank as well as providing the added protection of a position in defilade
The Russian Nakidka camouflage kit was designed to reduce the Optical, Thermal, Infrared, and Radar signatures of a tank, so that acquisition of the tank would be difficult. According to Nii Stali, the designers of Nakidka, Nakidka would reduce the probabilities of detection via "visual and near-IR bands by 30%, the thermal band by 2-3 fold, radar band by 6 fold, and radar-thermal band to near-background levels.[56] "
Armour[link]
Main article: Vehicle armour
To effectively protect the tank and its crew, tank armour must counter a wide variety of antitank threats. Protection against kinetic energy penetrators and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shells fired by other tanks is of primary importance, but tank armour also aims to protect against infantry antitank missiles, ATGMs, antitank mines, bombs, direct artillery hits, and (less often) nuclear, biological and chemical threats, any of which could disable or destroy a tank or its crew.
Steel armour plate was the earliest type of armour. The Germans pioneered the use of face hardened steel during World War II and the Soviets also achieved improved protection with sloped armour technology. World War II developments also spelled the eventual doom of homogeneous steel armour with the development of shaped-charge warheads, exemplified by the Panzerfaust and bazooka infantry weapons which were lethally effective, despite some early success with spaced armour. Magnetic mines led to the development of anti-magnetic paste and paint.
British tank researchers took the next step with the development of Chobham armour, or more generally composite armour, incorporating ceramics and plastics in a resin matrix between steel plates, which provided good protection against HEAT weapons. Squash head warheads led to anti-spall armour linings, and KEPs led to the inclusion of exotic materials like a matrix of depleted uranium into a composite armour configuration.
Reactive armour consists of small explosive-filled metal boxes that detonate when hit by the metallic jet projected by an exploding HEAT warhead, causing their metal plates to disrupt it. Tandem warheads defeat reactive armour by causing the armour to detonate prematurely. Modern Reactive armour protects itself from Tandem warheads by having a thicker front metal plate to prevent the precursor charge from detonating the explosive in the reactive armour. Reactive armours can also reduce the penetrative abilities of kinetic energy penetrators by deforming the penetrator with the metal plates on the Reactive armour, thereby reducing its effectiveness against the main armour of the tank.
Grenade launchers which can rapidly deploy a smoke screen, which are opaque to Infrared light, to hide it from the thermal viewer of another tank. The modern Shtora "soft-kill" countermeasure system provides additional protection by interfering with enemy targeting and fire-control systems and jamming of SACLOS guided ATGMs.
Active protection system[link]
The latest generation of protective measures for tanks are active protection systems, particularly "hard-kill". The Soviet Drozd, the Russian Arena, the Israeli TROPHY and Iron Fist, Polish ERAWA (on PT-91), and the American Quick Kill systems show the potential to dramatically improve protection for tanks against missiles, RPGs and potentially KEP attacks, but concerns regarding a danger zone for nearby dismounted troops remain. As for 2011, only the Israeli Trophy active protection system, installed on the Merkava Mk4, has been combat-proven, as it successfully intercepted RPG rocket and various anti-tank missiles during operational missions on the Gaza Strip border.
Mobility[link]
The mobility of a tank is described by its battlefield or tactical mobility, its operational mobility, and its strategic mobility. Tactical mobility can be broken down firstly into agility, describing the tank's acceleration, braking, speed and rate of turn on various terrain, and secondly obstacle clearance: the tank's ability to travel over vertical obstacles like low walls or trenches or through water. Operational mobility is a function of manoeuvre range; but also of size and weight, and the resulting limitations on options for manoeuvre.
Strategic mobility[link]
Strategic mobility is the ability of the tanks of an armed force to arrive in a timely, cost effective, and synchronized fashion. For good strategic mobility transportability by air is important, which means that weight and volume must be kept within the designated transport aircraft capabilities.
Nations often stockpile enough tanks to respond to any threat without having to make more tanks as many sophisticated designs can only be produced at a relatively low rate. The US Military for instance keeps 6000 MBTs in storage.[57]
Tactical mobility[link]
Tank agility is a function of the weight of the tank due to its inertia while manoeuvring and its ground pressure, the power output of the installed power plant and the tank transmission and track design. In addition, rough terrain effectively limits the tank's speed through the stress it puts on the suspension and the crew. A breakthrough in this area was achieved during World War II when improved suspension systems were developed that allowed better cross-country performance and limited firing on the move. Systems like the earlier Christie or later torsion-bar suspension developed by Ferdinand Porsche dramatically improved the tank's cross-country performance and overall mobility.[58]
Tanks are highly mobile and able to travel over most types of terrain due to their continuous tracks and advanced suspension. The tracks disperse the weight of the vehicle over a large area, resulting in less ground pressure. A tank can travel at approximately 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph) across flat terrain and up to 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) on roads, but due to the mechanical strain this places on the vehicle and the logistical strain on fuel delivery and tank maintenance, these must be considered "burst" speeds that invite mechanical failure of engine and transmission systems. Consequently, wheeled tank transporters and rail infrastructure is used wherever possible for long-distance tank transport. The limitations of long-range tank mobility can be viewed in sharp contrast to that of wheeled armoured fighting vehicles. The majority of blitzkrieg operations were conducted at the pedestrian pace of 5 kilometres per hour (3.1 mph), and that was only achieved on the roads of France.[59]
In the absence of combat engineers, most tanks are limited to fording rivers. The typical fording depth for MBTs is approximately 1 metre (3.3 ft), being limited by the height of the engine air intake and driver's position. Modern tanks such as the Russian T-90 and the German Leopard I and Leopard II tanks can ford to a depth of 3 to 4 metres when properly prepared and equipped with a snorkel to supply air for the crew and engine. Tank crews usually have a negative reaction towards deep fording but it adds considerable scope for surprise and tactical flexibility in water crossing operations by opening new and unexpected avenues of attack.
Amphibious tanks are specially designed or adapted for water operations, but they are rare in modern armies, being replaced by purpose-built amphibious assault vehicles or armoured personnel carriers in amphibious assaults. Advances such as the EFA mobile bridge and MT-55 scissors bridge have also reduced the impediment to tank advance that rivers posed in World War II.[60]
The tank's power plant supplies kinetic energy to move the tank, and electric power via a generator to components such as the turret rotation motors and the tank's electronic systems. The tank power plant has evolved from predominantly petrol and adapted large-displacement aeronautical or automotive engines during World Wars I and II, through diesel engines to advanced multi-fuel diesel engines, and powerful (per unit weight) but fuel-hungry gas turbines in the T-80 and M1 Abrams.
Tank power output in context:
| Vehicle | Power output | Power/weight |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-sized car: Toyota Camry 2.4L | 158 horsepower (118 kW) | 106 hp/tonne |
| Sports car: Lamborghini Murciélago 6.5L | 632 horsepower (471 kW) | 383 hp/tonne |
| Racing car: Formula One car 3.0L | 950 horsepower (710 kW) | 2100 hp/tonne |
| Main battle tank: Leopard 2, M1 Abrams | 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) | 24.2, 24.5 hp/tonne |
| Locomotive: SNCF Class T 2000 | 2,581 horsepower (1,925 kW) | 11.5 hp/tonne |
Crew[link]
Most modern tanks most often have four crew members, this being reduced to three depending if an autoloader is installed, these are the:-
- Commander-The commander is responsible for commanding the tank, most often in conjunction with other tanks and supporting infantry, the commander is provided with all round vision devices rather than the limited ones of the driver and gunner
- Driver-the driver drives the tank, the driver often also serves as the tanks day to day mechanic
- Gunner-the gunner is responsible for laying the gun
- Loader-the loader loads the gun, with a round appropriate to the target, in tanks with autoloaders this position is omitted.
However historically crew numbers varied from just two to a dozen, for example pre WW-II French tanks were noted for having a two man crew, in which the overworked commander had to load and fire the gun in addition to commanding the tank. First World War tanks were developed with immature technologies, in addition to the crew needed to man the multiple guns and machine guns up to four crewmen where needed to drive the tank-the driver who acted as the vehicle commander and who manned the brakes, he would drive through orders to his gearsmen, a co-driver to operate the gearbox and throttle, two gearsmen one on each track who would steer by setting one side or the other to idle allowing the track on the otherside to slew the tank to one side.
With World War II the multi turreted tanks proved impracticable, and as the single turret on a low hull design became standard, crews became standardised around a crew of four or five. In those tanks with a fifth crew member he was most often seated in the hull next to the driver and operated the hull machine gun in addition to acting as a co-driver or radio operator.
Well designed crew stations, giving proper considerations to comfort and ergonomics, are an important factor in the combat effectiveness of a tank, as it limits fatigue and speeds up individual actions.
Command, control and communications[link]
Commanding and coordinating tanks in the field has always been subject to particular problems, particularly in the area of communications, but in modern armies these problems have been partially alleviated by networked, integrated systems that enable communications and contribute to enhanced situational awareness.
Early[link]
Armoured bulkheads, engine noise, intervening terrain, dust and smoke, and the need to operate "buttoned up" are severe detriments to communication and lead to a sense of isolation for small tank units, individual vehicles, and tank crewmen. Radios were not then portable or robust enough to be mounted in a tank, although Morse Code transmitters were installed in some Mark IVs at Cambrai as messaging vehicles.[61] Attaching a field telephone to the rear would became a practice only during the next war. During World War I when these failed or were unavailable, situation reports were sent back to headquarters by some crews releasing carrier pigeons through loopholes or hatches[62] and communications between vehicles was accomplished using hand signals, handheld semaphore flags which continued in use in the Red Army/Soviet Army through the Second and Cold wars, or by foot or horse mounted messengers.[63]
Modern[link]
See also: Military communications and C4ISTAR
On the modern battlefield an intercom mounted in the crew helmet provides internal communications and a link to the radio network, and on some tanks an external intercom on the rear of the tank provides communication with co-operating infantry. Radio networks employ radio voice procedure to minimise confusion and "chatter".
A recent development in AFV equipment and doctrine is the increased integration of information from the fire control system, laser rangefinder, Global Positioning System and terrain information via hardened military specification electronics and a battlefield network to display all known information on enemy targets and friendly units on a monitor in the tank. The sensor data can be sourced from nearby tanks, planes, UAVs or, in the future infantry (such as the US Future Force Warrior project). This improves the tank commander's situational awareness and ability to navigate the battlefield and select and engage targets. In addition to easing the reporting burden by automatically logging all orders and actions, orders are sent via the network with text and graphical overlays. This is known as Network-centric warfare by the US, Network Enabled Capability (UK) or Digital Army Battle Management System צי"ד (Israel).
Etymology[link]
The word tank was first applied to the British "landships" in 1915, before they entered service, to keep their nature secret. Several explanations of the precise origin of the term have been suggested, including:
- It arose in British factories making the hulls of the first battle tanks: workmen and possible spies were to be given the impression they were constructing mobile water tanks for the British Army, thus keeping the production of a fighting vehicle secret.[22]
- The term was first used in a secret report on the new motorised weapon presented to Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, by British Army Lt.-Col. Ernest Swinton.[64]
- Winston Churchill's biography states, "To disguise the device, drawings were marked "water carriers for Russia." When it was pointed out this might be shortened to "WCs for Russia," the drawings were relabelled "water tanks for Russia." Eventually the weapon was just called a tank.[65] (In fact, the prototype was referred to as a water-carrier for Mesopotamia [see below]. The Russian connection is that some of the first production Tanks were labelled in Russian "With Care to Petrograd," as a further security measure.)
In his autobiography, Albert Stern (founder member of the Landships Committee, later head of the Mechanical Warfare Supply Department) says that on or shortly after October 20, 1915, "Mr. Macnamara then suggested, for secrecy's sake, to change the title of the Landships Committee. Mr. d'Eyncourt agreed that it was very desirable to retain secrecy by all means, and proposed to refer to the vessel as a "Water Carrier." In Government offices, committees and departments are always known by their initials. For this reason I, as Secretary, considered the proposed title totally unsuitable.* In our search for a synonymous term, we changed the word "Water Carrier" to "Tank," and became the "Tank Supply" or "T.S." Committee. That is how these weapons came to be called "Tanks," and the name has now been adopted by all countries in the world."[66] Swinton states, "Since the 24th December, 1915, the Tank has always been known as such; and there has been no confusion as to its nomenclature."[67] His Notes on the Employment of Tanks, in which he uses the word throughout, was published in January 1916.
(* The initials W.C. are a British abbreviation for a water closet; in other words, a toilet. Unfortunately, later in the War a number of Mk IV Tanks were fitted with grapnels to remove barbed wire. They were designated "Wire Cutters" and had the large letters "W.C." painted on their rear armour.)
Stern says, "we changed the word." Lt.-Col. Swinton also claims that it was his suggestion at that meeting.[68] However, in July 1918 the following explanation was published in Popular Science Monthly: "Because a fellow of the Royal Historical Society has unintentionally misled the British public as to the origin of the famous "tanks," Sir William Tritton, who designed and built them, has published the real story of their name ... Since it was obviously inadvisable to herald "Little Willie's" reason for existence to the world he was known as the "Instructional Demonstration Unit." "Little Willie's" hull was called in the shop orders a "water carrier for Mesopotamia;" no one knew that the hull was intended to be mounted on a truck. Naturally, the water carrier began to be called a "tank." So the name came to be used by managers and foremen of the shop, until now it has a place in the army vocabulary and will probably be so known in history for all time." It may be that d'Eyncourt was aware of this practice and therefore suggested the name to the Landships Committee. In any event, the word was in use by members of the Committee several months before production orders had been placed.[69]
By "all countries in the world," Stern is not entirely correct. The word "tank" was adopted in most languages, including Russian. Some countries, however, use different names. In France, in 1917 the second nation to employ tanks, the use of an English term was rejected and they are known as chars d'assaut ("assault vehicles") or simply chars. In Germany, tanks are usually referred to as "Panzer" (lit. "armour"), a shortened form of the full term "Panzerkampfwagen", literally "armoured fighting vehicle". In the Arab world, tanks are called Dabbāba (after a type of siege engine). In Italian, a tank is a "carro armato" (lit. "armed wagon"), without reference to its armour. The Scandinavian countries use the term stridsvogn (Norway) or stridsvagn (Sweden) ("chariot", lit. "battle wagon"). Polish name czołg is derived from verb czołgać się meaning "to crawl" depicting the way of machine's movement and its speed.
