The Kingdom of Ormus (also known as Ohrmuzd, Hormuz, and Ohrmazd; Portuguese Ormuz) was a 10th to 17th century kingdom located within the Persian Gulf and extending as far as the Strait of Hormuz. The Kingdom was established by Arab princes in the 10th century who in 1262 came under the suzerainty of Persia, before becoming a client state of the Portuguese Empire.
The kingdom received its name from the fortified port city which served as its capital. It was one of the most important ports in the Middle East at the time as it controlled seaway trading routes through the Persian Gulf to India and East Africa. This port was probably located on Hormuz Island[citation needed], which is located near the modern city of Bandar-e Abbas.
The name of the port, the island, and the kingdom is Iranian and ultimately derives from that of the Zoroastrian deity, Ahura Mazda, which becomes Ohrmazd in Pahlavi, Hirmiz in Manichaean Middle Persian, and Hormoz in New-Persian.
The Strait of Hormuz (Arabic: مضيق هرمز - Madīq Hurmuz, Persian: تنگه هرمز - Tangeh-ye Hormoz,) is a narrow, strategically important waterway between the Gulf of Oman in the southeast and the Persian Gulf in the southwest. On the north coast is Iran and on the south coast is the United Arab Emirates and Musandam, an exclave of Oman.
Welcome to, my dark empire
Is full of things, even twisted
You will find, a world without queen
It could be cold, but is part of me
With my blood, I´ll show all this
Come to see, if you like you can stay
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking
Come to see, you will find everything
Just feel the pain, is like the one that you bring
We can create, a world full of peace
It could be dark, but you like that
Here is no time, is all for us
Is full of hate, to help us to keep on moving
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking.
In the dark
Shine the light
Just open your mind
You could find (all you want)
If we trust
We can be
We can live
We can die together
Come to this
Is my life
But could be
Our life
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
