A vassal or feudatory is a person who has entered into a mutual obligation to a lord or monarch in the context of the feudal system in medieval Europe. The obligations often included military support and mutual protection, in exchange for certain privileges, usually including the grant of land held as a fiefdom. The term can be applied to similar arrangements in other feudal societies. In contrast, a fidelity, or fidelitas, was a sworn loyalty, subject to the king.
In a fully developed vassalage, the lord and the vassal would undertake a commendation ceremony composed of two parts, the homage and the fealty, including the use of Christian sacraments to show its importance. According to Eginhard's brief description, the commendatio made to Pippin the Younger in 757 by Tassillo, Duke of Bavaria, involved the relics of Saints Denis, Rusticus, and Éleuthère, Saint Martin, and Saint Germain, which had apparently been assembled at Compiègne for the event. Such refinements were not included from the outset, however.
Theatre of Tragedy was a Norwegian band from Stavanger, active between 1993 and 2010. They are best known for their earlier albums, which influenced the gothic metal genre.
Theatre of Tragedy was founded on 2 October 1993. Drummer Hein Frode Hansen had recently quit his former band Phobia and started looking for a new musical project to play in. A friend of his told Hein that a band called Suffering Grief was looking for a new drummer, and after contacting them, he joined the band. At the time, Suffering Grief was composed of vocalist Raymond István Rohonyi and guitarists Pål Bjåstad and Tommy Lindal. No bassist had joined the band yet, but Eirik T. Saltrø had agreed to play with them in live concerts.
After finding a rehearsal place, the band decided to work upon a couple of piano arrangements composed by Lorentz Aspen. The vocals, at the time, were mostly entirely composed by raw death grunts.
After composing their first song, "Lament of the Perishing Roses", the band changed its name to La Reine Noir and then to Theatre of Tragedy. They subsequently invited singer Liv Kristine Espenæs to do female vocals for one song, but quickly invited her to join the band permanently.
Telah Ku Jalani Hidup Bersamamu
Setauku Ini Akan Bahagia
Ternyata Aku Telah Salah Menilaimu
Sebenarnya Dirimu Yang Tak Bisa Mencintaiku
Kau Memintaku
Kau Paksa Aku
Untuk Akhiri Ikatan Ini
Untuk Melepasmu
Sebenarnya Dirimu Yang Tak Bisa Mencintaiku
Kau Memintaku
Kau Paksa Aku
Untuk Akhiri Ikatan Ini
Untuk Melepasmu
Begitu berat melangkah
Melihat kau bersamanya
Adakah aku yg salah
Atau hanya helah saja
Ku masih mencintai diri kamu
Walau kau menjauh
Ku rindu
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Hoo..Hooh
Biarpun kau tidak mahu
Menerima kasih daku
Ku kan setia bersamamu
Sehingga ke akhir waktu
Ku tetap menyayangi diri kamu
Biar kau berlalu
Ku rindu
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna engkau mahakarya
Kau takkan dapat aku lupakan
Kerna kau lah punca cinta kita
Mengajarkan ku erti bahagia
Temanilahku semula
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Hoo..Hooh
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Dengarlah pesanan daku
