The Great Northern War (1700–21) was a conflict in which a coalition led by the Tsardom of Russia successfully contested the supremacy of the Swedish Empire in northern Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The initial leaders of the anti-Swedish alliance were Peter I the Great of Russia, Frederick IV of Denmark–Norway and August II the Strong of Saxe-Poland-Lithuania. Frederik IV and August II were forced out of the alliance in 1700 and 1706 respectively, but re-joined it in 1709. George I of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) joined the coalition in 1714 for Hanover and in 1717 for Britain, and Frederick William I of Brandenburg-Prussia joined it in 1715.
Charles XII led the Swedish army. On the Swedish side were Holstein-Gottorp, several Polish and Lithuanian magnates under Stanisław Leszczyński (1704–10) and cossacks under the Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Mazepa (1708–10). The Ottoman Empire temporarily hosted Charles XII of Sweden and intervened against Peter I.

Peter the Great, Peter I or Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич Рома́нов, Пётр I, Pyotr I, or Пётр Вели́кий, Pyotr Velikiy) (9 June [O.S. 30 May] 1672 – 8 February [O.S. 28 January] 1725) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 7 May [O.S. 27 April] 1682 until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his half-brother. In numerous successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. According to historian James Cracraft, he led a cultural revolution that replaced the traditionalist and medieval social and political system with a modern, scientific, Europe-oriented, and rationalist system.
Watch out cause we're trouble shooting
On the weekend
We try to connect but don't hold your breath
Cause we can
Love you a little
Gets you through
To the middle
It's a sound that you learn to hate
We try to get to you but don't be late
Cause we'll...
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
1-2-3 is how you get to sleep
But don't forget your mother
While you count your sheep
Cause she'll
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Pick'n up the pieces from the night
Into the day is how we
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
If the summer will be easier
To finally let me go
Let me go
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Let me go
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
Was I dreaming...
Was I awake...
Or did you come home
Today...
For the rest of my life...
A little pity...
For the rest of our lives...
A little pitty...
Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I come round
I'll come around
See you when you're down..
This is a mistake...
Long roads never cast the long burning embers
Of your heart
When the sun rose the surface,
It removed the reflection of you
Long roads don't mean anything to me now
They're gone...
And done...
Into the sun...
For now...
Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I'll come round...
I'll come around
See you when you're down...
We owe it all the the sun and the heart
For now it gets al little bit harder
So turn it up
Turn it up
Till the clock is done and left
Till it's left behind me
It's just like staring into the sun
It's just like...
We owe it all to the sun
And our hearts for now
They get a little bit harder
But if you change your mind
And wave goodbye to us
And them...
You were stepping on my hands
But if you change your mind will then...
Its Just like staring into the sun
It's just like
It's just like...
All we want is a lonely house
A lonely bed
To call our own
A lonely bed
To call our own
Fallen through
Reach behind me
See if you remember me
Come with me to that place where
We remember what to be
Follow me
To that place where
When you're lost
You finally see
Keep in mind as you remember
All the answers you walked right through
Quietly...
We'll keep traveling
We'll forget all that we need
Later on when you find me
We can sleep
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees
You were a doctor of medicine
She was a nurse with no direction
Oooh we are babies
It was a snake in the grass
Too bad you knew
It wouldn't last
Oooh we are babies
We are babies
Oooh oooh we are babies
Oooh oooh we are babies
Let us forget your existence
The day met, I will forget
On the other side of vacant life
Faces pass through
And we never saw what we saw
Ever again
The meters are too slow to know
To know
Our final thoughts
How far they got
And the simple things that we erase
With names that take their place
And we never saw what we saw
Ever again
Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
Everything you've ever seen is gone
(do do do do do...
Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
Everything you've ever seen is
Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
The most beautiful things you've ever seen
Here is a song for the only one
That you know that you never know
You're still looking for
The softest things you never quite see
But you know they are true
So let them carry you
They're there for you
And everything you do...
Spot on a satellite
Is bleeding you today
You don't wonder why
Will this thing get off
The ground and let you go
Home
Home...
Doesn't it make you feel good...
Doesn't it make you feel good...
Doesn't it make you feel good
To know that some things
Drink to the sun
We write to millions
You kill everyone
Around you
Save yourself from...
From the ground you break
And the lives you take
I lock the door
Spinning the dust...
In a room
Still like the sun around you
Don't like the space of
All our space of
If you're looking out your window
And you say you're gone
And you're staring at the ceiling
And where we're from
Remember when you wake up
Don't forget, turn out the light
Cause i'm looking out my window for you every night oh
Did you have a thought
Did you remember what
And if we go sailing down the old oh front
If you're looking out your window
When you ride away
And you're staring at the ceiling
To try and get away
You told us to decide what we want today, but i don't know oh
Did you have a thought oh
Did you remember what
And if we go sailing down the old oh front
Ooooo...
Did you have a thought oh
Did you remember what
And if we go sailing down the old oh front
Did you have a thought
Did you remember what
Did you write a letter
Step on the tracks
Feel you're alive
It's not any worse
Closer in time
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
You'll be here some time
(tears are in your eyes) -?
Bending backwards to look behind
Pushing forward, killing in time
You thought it would change in time
You thought it would change your mind
You thought you'd be first in line
You thought it would change your life
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
You'll be here some time
(tears are in your eyes) -?
You'll be better off not wasting your time
A sentimental heart is always last
In line
A sentimental heart is always last
In line
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
The end begins just as it starts
And leaves me wondering what we left behind
Told me not to talk but please explain
My thoughts that float around my mind
So take a step back will you
Be alright, feel alright?
And now
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it won't steal
Up ahead I see it, I can find it but I feel alive
Followed me inside of a place
I felt like things would still be alright
And now
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it can steal
All this time when I talk it's not real
It's not real, not real, not real, it's not real
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it won't steal
All this time when I walk I won't feel, I won't feel
All this time when I talk it's not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, not real
Take all your medicine
It's gonna make you well
You'll have to run till it's over
I'm sure you'll be able to tell
You'll know it's over
For the rest of your life
You're gonna be high
Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
They'll be sneaking up behind you again
Talk to the doctor
He said you're well for home
Take all your medicine
Be sure you're never alone
You'll know it's over
For the rest of your life
You're gonna be high...
Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
They'll be sneaking up behind you again
Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
Transform our hearts
Into melody
And remove the parts
Then the tragedy
And I’ll build a wall underneath the sea
To look over your shoulder
Look over your shoulder
Look over your shoulder just to see
All your enemies
Watching you watching me
(it’s the weight of the world that we’re on to, it’s the weight of the world. It’s the weight of the world that we’re on to, it’s the weight of the world.)
we’ve left our hands
with no escape
and our hearts are tied
tied to his me
and if we let them go
will we break
mmm… mmm…
(chorus)
it’s the weight of the world that we’re onto, it’s the weight of the world that we’re standing on
it’s the weight of the world that we’re onto, it’s the weight of the world that we’re standing on… standing on, I’m not standing on
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
don’t slow down
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
don’t slow down
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
come on with your fingers
don’t slow down
Always beneath the way, always a watch
It's in the fire beneath as we walk through water
Sound covering now, they said, old wind man
He's coming now but you won't see him out now
Out now
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
We could just fall to pieces into the air
On the day of all the souls, now we cannot see
We're waiting on a sale, now we cannot please
We're waist down in mayhem
Waist down in mayhem, please
Even when you walk alone, you still cannot see
Even when you stand alone, you still cannot see
A way out, you're sounding out
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
We could just fall to pieces into the air
And all this time we'll always be
Standing, just standing
In time we'll never know
Why we're standing, we're standing
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
The end begins just as it starts
And leaves me wondering what we left behind
Told me not to talk but please explain
My thoughts that float around my mind
So take a step back will you
Be alright, feel alright?
And now
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it won't steal
Up ahead I see it, I can find it but I feel alive
Followed me inside of a place
I felt like things would still be alright
And now
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it can steal
All this time when I talk it's not real
It's not real, not real, not real, it's not real
All this time when we walk we won't feel
But sometime in a box it won't steal
All this time when I walk I won't feel, I won't feel
All this time when I talk it's not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, it's not real
Not real, not real, not real, not real
It is really something
I'm confused
Saw it at my window
In a dream of you
When you whisper
I can hear
What you are thinking
Thinking my dear
This is a warning calling
Lift me up
It is really something
I'm confused
Saw it at my window
In a dream of you
When you whisper
I'm confused
Saw a sound
And it came up
From the ground
Lift me up
This is a warning calling
Beware of strength in numbers
They play better than one
A group of those who follow
Can never reach the sun
Be careful who you're thinking will save you in the end
Maybe we're all just waiting for one beautiful friend
The rising of all of this
Will not become the fall
A group of those who follow
Will never learn to walk
We see what we want to see
Maybe breathe lighter now
The group of those who follow
You'll never see us now
I don't remember
Remember your face
Stuck of the moments
Tied to my waist
If i could remember
Remember your name
Would you notice
Nothings the same
I don't remember
Remember you name
Please now forgive me
I'm not the one
They tried to destroy you
My only son
And i heard your voice
I heard you leave
They tried to destroy you
They cut off your feet
And i hope you notice
That I'm not the one
And i hope you notice
Tell you a secret, tell you a story
About someone inside, I sit around
Get you some glory
And don't forget to tack on a lie
And all those things
You tried to make you feel alive
And if you can't tell
Why those things make you blind
That may be why the sun sets high
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you get?
What do you see?
Tell me a secret, tell me a story
How about one, you can't hide behind
Pass it around, get me some glory
I won't forget to tack on a lie
And is it all those things that
We won't ever say
And is it all those things
We won't ever be
And is it all those things
We would pay not to see
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you get?
What do you see?
It's all the same with different words
A simple name you knew you were
The story goes I'm hiding, you're hiding
I'm hiding away
I should have left it all alone
I should have left it all alone
What do you want?
What do you need?
I should have left it all alone
What do you get?
What do you see?
I should have left it all alone
What do you want?
What do you see?
I should have left it all alone
What do you get?
What do you need?
Into the mountain
Into the sea
Into the graveyard
Into the leaves
We don't need our bodies
We don't need our minds
We don't need discoveries
Just leave them in the mines
When we wake up to see
That we're lost souls in need
And we're hollering defeat
Into the rapist
Into the heart
Into the killer
Into finish into start
We can't keep on dreaming
For how much we need
We can't keep on speaking
The words never leave
When we wake up to see
That we're lost souls in need
And we're hollering defeat
Without our minds, we'll build a trust
To carry all that sound into the dust
We want the ancient, we can't hold a key
We are collapsing onto our knees
When we wake up to see
That we're lost souls in need
And we're hollering defeat
Now that we've found our place here
Today, I will follow you anywhere
And I, saw a smile upon your face
And the wind still blows and that won't change
And the sun goes down but we remain here
Just like, just like, just like we always have.
Just like, just like, just like we always have.
All our friends have passed, away
And all our lines (?) have slept, for days
And we can walk into, the world
And the wind will blow and that won't change
And the sun goes down but we remain here
Just like, just like, just like we always have.
Always beneath the way, always a watch
It's in the fire beneath as we walk through water
Sound covering now, they said, old wind man
He's coming now but you won't see him out now
Out now
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
We could just fall to pieces into the air
On the day of all the souls, now we cannot see
We're waiting on a sale, now we cannot please
We're waist down in mayhem
Waist down in mayhem, please
Even when you walk alone, you still cannot see
Even when you stand alone, you still cannot see
A way out, you're sounding out
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
We could just fall to pieces into the air
And all this time we'll always be
Standing, just standing
In time we'll never know
Why we're standing, we're standing
It's way too bright in here
Can't be too light, can't feel our way around
It's way too near, it's way too hot in here
Can't feel our legs beneath
We could just fall to pieces into the air
