Westphalia or Westfalia (German: Westfalen pronounced [vɛstˈfaːlən], Westphalian: Wäästfaln) is a region in Germany, centred on the cities of Arnsberg, Bielefeld, Dortmund, Minden and Münster.
Westphalia is roughly the region in between the rivers Rhine and Weser, located both north and south of the Ruhr River. There is no exact definition of borders can be given, because the name "Westphalia" was applied to several different entities in history. For this reason specifications of area and population differ greatly. They range between 16,000 and 22,000 km2 (6,200 and 8,500 sq mi) in land area, and between 4.3 million and 8 million inhabitants. There is, however, a general consensus that Münster as well as Bielefeld and Dortmund are part of Westphalia. In principle the term "Westphalia" contrasts with the much less used term "Eastphalia", which is very roughly the area of modern Saxony-Anhalt.
A linguistic definition of Westphalia (see Westphalian language) includes the former Prussian Province of Westphalia (except Siegen-Wittgenstein), Lippe, the region around Osnabrück and the greater area of the Emsland. Present-day common use, however, often restricts the notion to the present part of North Rhine-Westphalia.
In the morning, sunlight shining
The face in the mirror knows the crime
Voices cry from the darkness
A broken promise one more time
You say you believe in love
And still you run
You only believe in God when you come undone
So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall
When you're all alone by yourself
He said he's tried everything he could
A fool's illusion one more lie
There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of a concrete world
Tears are runnin' tonight
You say you believe in love
And still you run
You only believe in God when you come undone
So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall, (easy to fall)
When you're all alone by yourself
Words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
