Year 15 (XV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Caesar and Flaccus (or, less frequently, year 768 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 15 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
The September Massacres were a wave of mob violence which overtook Paris in late summer 1792, during the French Revolution. By the time it had subsided, half the prison population of Paris had been executed: some 1,200 trapped prisoners, including many women and young boys. Sporadic violence, in particular against the Roman Catholic Church, would continue throughout France for nearly a decade to come.
The political situation in Paris on the eve of the September Massacres was dire. No individual or organized body could truly claim exclusive sovereignty. The monarchy and short-lived Constitution of 1791 had been overthrown with the bloody journée of 10 August 1792, in which the Tuileries Palace was stormed by the mob and the royal family fled for their lives. The Legislative Assembly had been left impotent after a large number of deputies had fled, and its successor, the National Convention, had not yet met. To further complicate this matter, the insurrectionary Paris commune established 9 August 1792 incorporated some of the most radical revolutionary elements, including the sans-culottes, and briefly contended for the role of de facto government of France. Lacking a sovereign power, the Parisians' fear, hatred, and prejudice proved to be the seeds of the September Massacres[citation needed].
You'll always walk alone
I never said I'm tired of talking
I simply had enough talking to you
It's never been my time so I can't wait another minute
I'm sick of standing in line while you're telling the world the truth
truth
You'll always walk alone
So please come home
'cuz everybody else
Is praying for themselves
When everything is said you're just another stranger now
I think you're beautiful playing the savior
That's why I'm saving you from the world
It's gonna eat you alive
Save the thinking about it for later
Why should the winner surround be the lonely ass kind of girl
You'll always walk alone
So please come home
'cuz everybody else
Is praying for themselves
When everything is said you're just another stranger now
Walk alone
So please come home
'cuz everybody else
Is praying for themselves
When everything is said you're just another stranger now
I put my sanity on the table
I'm breaking all of your golden rules
Because I know I'm gonna lose it
If I end up losing you
You'll always walk alone
So please come home
'cuz everybody else
Is praying for themselves
