Genghis Khan (/ˈɡɛŋɡɪs ˈkɑːn/ or /ˈdʒɛŋɡɪs ˈkɑːn/,Mongol: [tʃiŋɡɪs xaːŋ] ( listen); 1162? – August 1227), born Temujin, was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death.
He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These included raids or invasions of the Kara-Khitan Khanate, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in Khwarezmia. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China.
Before Genghis Khan died, he assigned Ögedei Khan as his successor and split his empire into khanates among his sons and grandsons. He died in 1227 after defeating the Western Xia. He was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Mongolia at an unknown location. His descendants went on to stretch the Mongol Empire across most of Eurasia by conquering or creating vassal states out of all of modern-day China, Korea, the Caucasus, Central Asian countries, and substantial portions of modern Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Many of these invasions resulted in the large-scale slaughter of local populations, which have given Genghis Khan and his empire a fearsome reputation in local histories.
when i called last night i wasn't high
no, i had not been drinking
when i saw a sight i can't deny
now made me do some thinking.
imagine my surprise:
ooh i nearly dozed off on my pillow.
had to rub my eyes:
ooh i saw the whole thing from my window
and it seems so, i don't know
no i don't know if it's true.
and it seems so, i don't know
no i don't know what to do.
when somebody sees to sky open wide
and rides the solar system,
if he saw themoonlight pass him by
what would you think about him?
imagine my surprise:
all my life i've been so ordinary.
had to rub my eyes:
ooh my mind was just a little blurry.
and it seems so, i don't know
no i don't know if it's true.
and it seems so, i don't know
no i don't know what to do.
was it something in the sky,
or something in my eyes?
now, i don't know.
something that i've seen,
or was it a dream?
man, i don't know.
when i tell the world my trouble plight
now, do you think they'll listen?
or is this the kind of tripe people like
to put on television?
imagine my surprise:
all my life i look out of my window.
had to rub my eyes:
ooh i saw the whole thing from my pillow.
oh doctor, it seems so, i don't know
no i don't know if it's true.
and it seems so, i don't know
