No man's land is a term for land that is unoccupied or is under dispute between parties that leave it unoccupied due to fear or uncertainty. The term was originally used to define a contested territory or a dumping ground for refuse between fiefdoms. It is most commonly associated with the First World War to describe the area of land between two enemy trenches to which neither side wished to move openly or to seize due to fear of being attacked by the enemy in the process.
The Oxford English Dictionary contains a reference to the term dating back to 1320, and spelt nonesmanneslond, when the term was used to describe a disputed territory or one over which there was legal disagreement. The same term was later used as the name for the piece of land outside the north wall of London that was assigned as the place of execution. The term was applied to a little-used area on ships called the forecastle, a place where various ropes, tackle, block, and other supplies were stored.
The British Regular Army did not widely employ the term when they arrived in France in 1914. The terms used most frequently at the start of the war to describe the area between the trench lines included 'between the trenches' or 'between the lines'. The term 'no man's land' was first used in a military context by soldier and historian Ernest Swinton in his short story The Point of View. Swinton used the term in war correspondence on the Western Front, with specific mention of the terms with respect to the Race to the Sea in late 1914. The Anglo-German Christmas truce of 1914 brought the term into common use, and thereafter it appeared frequently in official communiqués, newspaper reports, and per personnel correspondences of the members of the British Expeditionary Force.
Diabolical - dominating the gentle sex
Systematically - destroying to forget
Twisted evil - nasty and rotten to the core
Avenger of those who are unable to adore
Disability - to share love and forgive
No facility - cause my memory like a sieve
Darker than black -my ego rules my sphere
Despair and fear - is my goddamned riotgear
Welcome!
Welcome to the mans land
Where your partners your archenemy
Welcome to the mans land
Where your tortured soul will find a decree
Bear all the soul torment the twisted fatal banshee
Only in no mans land the bitch will pay her final fee
Diabolical - my insane mind needs soulfood
Super critical - with yourself cause you've been screwed
A desperate creature which is trying to forget
In no mans land - there is no need to fuckin' fret
An avenger of those who are unable to adore
A wounded fighter that is still able to score
A unique individual should never close the door
No need to prostitute, to sell your lifestyle like a whore
An avenger of those who are unable to adore
There's no need to prostitute
