Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, Hemu Vikramaditya, Raja Vikramaditya or simply Hemu (Hindi: सम्राट हेम चंद्र विक्रमादित्य) (1501–5 November 1556) was a Hindu emperor of India during the sixteenth century AD. This was one of the crucial periods in Indian history, when the Mughals and Afghans were desperately vying for power.
The son of a Hindu priest, who later became a food seller, and a vendor of saltpetre at Rewari, Hemu rose to become Chief of Army and Prime Minister of Adil Shah Suri of the Suri Dynasty. He fought Afghan rebels across North India from the Punjab to Bengal and the Mughal forces of Akbar and Humayun in Agra and Delhi, winning 22 battles continuously, without a single setback.
Hem Chandra acceded to the throne of Delhi on 7 October 1556, assuming the title of "Vikramaditya" that had been earlier adopted by many Hindu kings since the Vedic times. His Rajyabhishek (coronation) as Samrat was held at Purana Quila in Delhi. Hemu re-established the Hindu rule (albeit for a short duration) in North India, after over 350 years of Muslim rule. Some historians say that this rule was on the pattern of a strong Hindu state prevailing in South India for more than three centuries, known as 'Vijaynagar Empire'. Hemu struck coins bearing his title.
The girl who cried love, won't you come and play with me
You can be Cassandra, underneath the sword of Democles
We'll tear this baby apart wise like Solomon
run, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
She'll be the witness to the repose of Nevelen
Push the needle in
To the of canticles of ecstasy
Turn to page 43
And you'll know how I feel
Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope
Swear on your hearts grave im wrong
and love like your life's depending on it
cause it is!
We'll tear this baby apart, wise like Solomon
Turn to page forty three, and you'll know how I feel
Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in
Bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
hope
Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now
hope, hope
Scream me a dream
(Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now)
Scream me a dream
