Sclaveni
The Sclaveni was used to describe the southwestern branch of Slavic peoples that the Byzantine Empire came into contact with, and especially the South Slavs in the Balkans. It was widely used during the early Middle Ages, until separate tribal affiliations emerged in the 8th and 9th century.
Terminology
The Byzantines broadly grouped the numerous Slav tribes living in proximity with the Eastern Roman Empire into two groups: the Sklavenoi and the Antes. The Late Roman historians, Jordanes and Procopius both locate the Sklavenoi in the lower Danube (modern Wallachia and Moldavia), although Sklavi subsequently in Latin sources in connection to events in Lombard Italy. Whilst there were many Sklaveni, the Antes were a specific ethnicon who had a foedus with the Byzantine Empire, and were probably located in Scythia Minor.
The derived Greek term Sklavinia(i) (Ancient Greek: Σκλαβινίαι, Latin: Sclaviniae) was used for the Slav settlements (area, territory) which were initially out of Byzantine control and independent. The term may be interpreted as "Slav lands" in Byzantium.
Skyway Avenue
She said let's change our luck
This night is all we've got
Drive fast until we crash
This dead end life
Sweet dreams that won't come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick walls keep closing in
Let's make a run tonight
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go
'Cause if you jump, I will jump too
We will fall together from the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
She said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff
They will remember this
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edge
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Never let you go
'Cause if you jump, I will jump too
We will fall together from the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
Where are your guts to fly
Soaring through, through the night
And if you take that last step I'll follow you
Leave the edge and fly, we're finally alive
'Cause if you jump, I will jump too
We will fall together from the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
So what's left to prove
