In military architecture, an embrasure is the opening in a crenellation or battlement between the two raised solid portions or merlons, sometimes called a crenel or crenelle. In domestic architecture this refers to the outward splay of a window or arrow slit on the inside.
A loophole, arrow loop or arrow slit passes through a solid wall and was originally for use by archers. The purpose of embrasures is to allow weapons to be fired out from the fortification while the firer remains under cover. The splay of the wall on the inside provides room for the soldier and his equipment, and allows them to get as close to the wall face and arrow slit itself as possible. Excellent examples of deep embrasures with arrow slits are to be seen at Aigues-Mortes and Château de Coucy, both in France.
The etymology of embrasure expresses "widening".
The invention of the arrowslit is attributed to Archimedes during the siege of Syracuse in 214–212 BC.
From Polybius's (c. 200–118 BC) The Histories:

Elend - In The Embrasure Of Heaven Album - The Umbersun (1997) Paroles/Lyrics : [Troisième Leçon] I'll die without a whisper against you, my Lord. Roses her eyes on the weary veil of Dawn. We were lost in a sea of darkness. A darksom opalescent sky left us stranded Within the remnants of our dreams. Oblivion ensnared the azure in our visions. The Moon became as blood, And I wash its reflection in my own blood Which dyes purple stars to ivory rain. But we were lost in a sea of darkness. And we met her, Luvadea, The first born of Death. Plorans ploravit in nocte. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine. We drank the water of life from a sapphirian stream. An amethyst tear, Your thornless tear. The offspring of David is the bri...

Lo siento mucho, su sobre azul ya llegó
no llore tanto,la culpa es suya, usted bostezó.
Es una vergûenza para esta empresa
desocúpeme la mesa, ya no aguanto su torpeza.
Empresaurio... Empresaurio... firma el pacto luego.
Empresaurio... Empresaurio
Atención personal, el sistema cambiará...
desde hoy ya no pueden más pensar,
eso quita tiempo para laburar,
se aguantarán las ganas de orinar,
entrarán mas temprano, y mas tarde se irán.
Podría ser mi suegro, su casa mi hogar,
mas yo no lo merezco, su raza es sin igual.
Empresaurio... dale más, dame más, suda más, quiero más.
Empresauirio... firma el pacto luego.
Empresaurio... contratado estás.
Empresaurio...
No nos pague mas... Empresaurio,
empecé a tomar... Empresaurio.
Es usted muy bueno... si lo necesita tome mi dinero,
a usted le sirve más... usted lo invertirá.
Confío en su habilidad.
Desde tiempo atrás todo sigue igual
no creas que ha cambiado el sistema feudal,
el empresaurio es el dueño del feudo
y sus vasallos empleados.
Como abeja reina mi proyecto he de forjar,
para eso zanganos me van a trabajar.
A trabajar, trabajar... tu trabajo dá dignidad
A trabajar, trabajar... me gano el pan del día
A trabajar, trabajar... el puesto hay que cuidar
A trabajar, trabajar !
