The word dragoon originally meant mounted infantry, who were trained in horse riding as well as infantry fighting skills. However, usage altered over time and during the 18th century, dragoons evolved into conventional cavalry units. In most armies, "dragoons" came to signify ordinary medium cavalry.
Dragoon regiments were established in most European armies during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
The name is derived from a type of firearm (called a dragon) carried by dragoons of the French Army.
The title has been retained in modern times by a number of armoured or ceremonial mounted regiments.
The establishment of dragoons evolved from the practice of sometimes transporting infantry by horse when speed of movement was needed. In 1552 Prince Alexander of Parma mounted several companies of infantry on pack horses to achieve surprise. Another early instance was ordered by Louis of Nassau in 1572 during operations near Mons in Hainaut, when 500 infantry were transported this way. It is also suggested the first dragoons were raised by the Marshal de Brissac in 1600. According to old German literature, dragoons were invented by Count Ernst von Mansfeld, one of the greatest German military commanders, in the early 1620s. There are other instances of mounted infantry predating this. However Mansfeld, who had learned his profession in Hungary and the Netherlands, often used horses to make his foot troops more mobile, creating what was called an "armée volante" (French for flying army).
Anda por las calles un tipo marginado
Siente las miradas de odio al rededor
Vuelto vuelto en taches cadenas y metal
Feos le persiguen, es su maldición
Todo por vender, su alma al metal
Las horas cambiaron ya nada es igual
Pues una etiqueta que dice antisocial
Valla donde valla allí le perseguirá
Si eres metalero, con toda razón
Ese es tu energía y tu vocación
Metalero
Esa es tu verdad, contra todo el mundo
Nunca pararas
Metalero
Tu mundo matar, nadie te comprende
Por eso que mas da
Todo por sentir las cosas al revés
Y todo respeto, no te asusta ya
Cadenas de fuego, cadenas
Pero hoy metalean tu vida, tu cuerpo y tu soledad
Solo
Si eres metalero con toda razón
Esa es tu energía y tu vocación
Metalero
Esa es tu verdad, contra todo el mundo, nunca pararas
Metalero
Tu mundo matar, nadie te comprende, por eso que mas da
Todo por sentir las cosas al revés
Ya todo respeto no te asusta ya
Cadenas de fuego, cadenas
