A nation may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history. In this definition, a nation has no physical borders. However, it can also refer to people who share a common territory and government (for example the inhabitants of a sovereign state) irrespective of their ethnic make-up. In international relations, nation can refer to a country or sovereign state. The word nation can more specifically refer to people of North American Indians, such as the Cherokee Nation that prefer this term over the contested term tribe.
According to Joseph Stalin writing in 1913 in Marxism and the National Question: "a nation is not a racial or tribal, but a historically constituted community of people;" "a nation is not a casual or ephemeral conglomeration, but a stable community of people;" "a common language is one of the characteristic features of a nation;" "a nation is formed only as a result of lengthy and systematic intercourse, as a result of people living together generation after generation;" "a common territory is one of the characteristic features of a nation;" "a common economic life, economic cohesion, is one of the characteristic features of a nation;" "a common psychological make-up, which manifests itself in a common culture, is one of the characteristic features of a nation;" "A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture." According to Stalin, this would exclude Jews as they have no common territory.

I don't need no evidence
I've got my self confidence
So you don't have to say a word
You don't need to judge this girl
Come down you, you old teacher
and I´ll give, I´ll give you a lecture
Come down you, you old leader
Come and look what you've done
To my nation
Let's call it self defence
A call for happy ending
But each side steps and says
je regrette rien
don't say It
don't say you don´t regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
you could be my sister my brother and I
won't let you go
Don't say you don't regret a thing
Don't say you don't regret a thing
But each side steps and said
je regrette rien
Don't say It
je ne regrette rien.
Born in an haunted nation
since when was War a passion
Born with a fighting rebound on them
Now look what it's done
Done to our nations, lets say it
Let say it...
don't say you don´t regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
you could be my sister my brother and I won't let you go
But each side steps and said
je regrette rien
Don't say it
Je ne regrette rien rien...
Just in time for a decade of heresy.
A nation born on pain and disbelief.
We are a permanant structure.
One nation over god.
Hunger struck a beaten down to the ground.
Find the strength tp pull them down.
Mistreated ashamed and bound.
Find the strength to pull them down.
Your structures your cross fucking belong to us.
When 7 trumpets sound,
Find the strength to pull them down.
Crawling at a rapid rate we will pull this monster down.
Showing a brand new way,
State by state well change today.
Become a part of this, become a soilder.
Nation rise up and show them.
Go forth, go strong, go quickly.
Get it done, get back to us.
We need you all right now.
With stregnth in numbers we can never fall down.
I can remember when I felt like I belonged to nothing.
I remember when I felt like I belonged to nothing.
And no one would notice if I were here or not,
To be stronger but just to stay alive and well if you wanna make history.
Stay home do, Do nothing.
All around us and in between
Politics like cancer
Information in extremes
Never find the answers
Events unfolded
Set the stage
We know they have us
In every way
They held a grudge
For way too long
I feel that danger
Coming on
I have grave expectations
For this strange situation
I signed my letter of resignation
For the stealing of a nation
Cut your losses
Get the votes
Come fall, they'll change
Every single quote
Heavy ammunition
Targets in sight
Inhuman nature
Fills me with fright
Do your life justice
I'm inside you
It's my time
It's time for you to go away
I'm inside you
Israfel:
"Gabriel please help me, please"
Gabriel:
"I cannot help you now, you have chosen the dark path"
Djinn:
Why do I see things wrong with everything?
There is no hope or chance for changing
I need to stay clear from the animals
Swine that fill city streets with sharpened teeth
Pleasing their appetites like parasites
Lost with the soulless people I don't want to be
Break - Break down the walls of Babylon
Now - Clean out this lawless malodor
No use for clarity in an age of insanity
I need to end all things unclean
How has this come to pass? I ask myself
Why is my heart so heavy?
Why don't I learn the first time?
They keep us running in circles
And I missed the meaning of the message
Now I am filled with hate for all and everyone
Break - Break down the walls of Babylon
Now - Clean out this lawless malodor
No use for clarity in an age of insanity
I need to end all things unclean
I missed the meaning of the message
Am I the savior of nothing?
What was a vision of beauty has faltered
I can't believe this destruction
Show me the lives you intend to save
Follow my knife
Follow my light
Know that for you I will lay down my life
Know truth.
Witan:
"My people, we are plagued by a new wave of vermin.
And emerging evil who claim to be good
They also claim to be of the people for the people of
the Empire Of Light
They are nothing more than your common criminals
Vigilantes who are destroying the very fabric of our
nation
As such a union has been forged with our friends of the
Eidolon Republic
This bond has brought promise of protection and safety
for our people in a time of darkness and uncertainty
We are grateful and we pledge our undying allegiance
And now all who threaten our way of life, our freedom.
Will perish"
Break - Break down the walls of Babylon
Now - Clean out this lawless malodor
