Udine listen (help·info) (Friulian: Udin, Slovene: Videm, German: Weiden, Latin: Utinum) is a city and comune in northeastern Italy, in the middle of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, between the Adriatic sea and the Alps (Alpi Carniche), less than 40 km from the Slovenian border. Its population was 100,032 in 2012, and that of its urban area was 176,000.
Udine is the historical capital of Friuli. The area has been inhabited since the Neolithic age, and was later, most likely, settled by Illyrians.
Based on an old Hungarian legend, Attila (?–453), the great hun emperor built a hill there, when besieging Aquileia, because he needed a winter quarters billet: he instructed his soldiers to bring soil in their helmet and shield, because, the landscape was too flat, without any hill. He established the town there, and built a square-shape tower.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the area increased in importance after the decline of Aquileia and afterwards of Cividale also. In 983 AD Udine is mentioned for the first time, with the donation of the Utinum castle by emperor Otto II to the Patriarchs of Aquileia, then the main feudal lords of the region. In 1223, with the foundation of the market, the city became finally the most important in the area for economy and trades, and also became the Patriarch's seat.
Dear mother I am lost and the damage has been done.
I’m in love with my old century fix and this needle can’t be wrong,
But I wonder?
Where do we go from here because we’re never coming home?
The sequel to this nightmare lasts forever, forever.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
I’m not scared at all, so let’s walk away.
I’m not scared at all, so now walk away.
Dear mother now beyond the grave you’re the soul that wants me.
Front row with a cigarette, you’re the ghost that haunts me,
But I wonder?
I’m too fucked up to come home,
I swear this heart was made of stone,
I won’t pretend that everything’s alright when it’s not.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
I’m not scared at all, so let’s walk away.
I’m not scared at all, so now walk away.
Wake me now drive faster, make me now a disaster,
Take me now live after and walk away.2x
Can you design living through hell and back again?
It’s the life that’s killing you walk away friend.
Can you design living through hell and back again?
It’s the life that’s killing you walk away WALK AWAY!!!
One last goodnight, with this painted picture in our minds the voice inside that sings tonight.
