Austria (i/ˈɒstriə/ or /ˈɔːstriə/; German: Österreich [ˈøːstɐˌʁaɪç] ( listen)), officially the Republic of Austria (German: Republik Österreich (help·info)), is a landlocked country of roughly 8.47 million people in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,855 square kilometres (32,377 sq mi) and has a temperate and alpine climate. Austria's terrain is highly mountainous due to the presence of the Alps; only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft), and its highest point is 3,798 metres (12,461 ft). The majority of the population speak local Austro-Bavarian dialects of German as their native language, and German in its standard form is the country's official language. Other local official languages are Burgenland Croatian, Hungarian and Slovene.
The origins of modern-day Austria date back to the time of the Habsburg dynasty when the vast majority of the country was a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Austria became one of the great powers of Europe and, in response to the coronation of Napoleon I as the Emperor of the French, the Austrian Empire was officially proclaimed in 1804. In 1867, the Austrian Empire was reformed into Austria-Hungary.
I've been thinking 'bout what you have done to me
the damage is much deeper than you'll ever see
hit me like a hammer to my head
I wonder where you pushed the one you let
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
The only one who knows the truth,
man, that's him, me and you
My friends they listen to the things I say
they listen and hear more everyday
but I know they'd never understand it
because it was no accident you planned
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
The only one who knows the truth,
man, that's him, me and you
