Sometimes waterfalls can be calm, serene. Sometimes they can be chaotic. And sometimes they can be both.

I HAVENT EVEN LISTENED TO IT SO ITS PROBABLY MIXED BADLY

Sailing the Seven Metal Seas

As the sail catches wind, we are pulled on course, the black ocean water crashing down upon us.

Will we ever make it to land and see our loved ones again?

Or will we perish on these seas, our souls doomed to roam the ocean for eternity?

Swiss Sonderbund War of 1847

The Sonderbund war (German:Sonderbundkrieg) of November 1847 was a civil war in Switzerland. It ensued after the Sonderbund (meaning "separate alliance", in German) was created in 1845 in Switzerland as a league among seven Catholic and Conservative cantons, in order to protect their interests against a centralization of power.

The member cantons were Lucerne, Fribourg, Valais, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and Zug. Some liberal Catholic cantons such as Ticino and Solothurn did not participate.

This alliance was concluded after the Radical Party had taken power in Switzerland and had, thanks to the majority of cantons, taken measures against the Catholic Church such as the closure of monasteries and convents in Aargau in 1841,[1] and the seizure of their properties. When Lucerne, in retaliation, recalled the Jesuits the same year, groups of armed Radicals ("Freischler") invaded the canton. This caused a revolt, mostly because rural cantons were strongholds of ultramontanism.

The Sonderbund was in violation of the Federal Treaty of 1815, 6 of which expressly forbade such separate alliances, and the Radical majority in the Tagsatzung decided to dissolve the Sonderbund on October 21, 1847. The confederate army was raised against the members of the Sonderbund. The army was composed of soldiers of all the other cantons except Neuchel and Appenzell Innerrhoden (which had stayed neutral).

General Guillaume-Henri Dufour led the federal army of 100,000 and defeated the Sonderbund under Johann-Ulrich von Salis-Soglio in a campaign that lasted only from November 3 to November 29, and claimed fewer than a hundred victims. He ordered his troops to spare the injured, anticipating the formation of the Red Cross in which he participated a few years later.

Major actions were fought at Freiburg, Geltwil, Lunnern, Luzern, and finally at Gisikon, Meierskappel and Schfheim, after which Luzern capitulated on 24 November.

In 1848, a new Swiss Federal Constitution ended the almost-complete independence of the cantons and transformed Switzerland into a federal state. The Jesuits were banished from Switzerland. This ban was lifted on 20 May 1973, when 54.9% of the population and 16.5 cantons out of 22 accepted a referendum modifying the Constitution.

memories flood him
as night sets in
eyes are burning
stomach turning
vengeful feelings
anger seething
don't ever say
god has his way

lives with one regret
that they ever met
she was still so young
lives had just begun
he turns to depart
leaving half his heart

you are about to witness
the end of an era
for when you step forth
through the blood soaked sea of despair
your soul will scream in agony
as Satan's cock tears you apart!

WELCOME TO HELL
POPULATION: YOU
what's that? you were supposed to go to heaven?
my dear boy, there is no heaven!
there is only what you have made of your time on earth!
sitting in front of your computer
playing with your weiner
gee, you probably should have thought that one out a bit more, eh?

you tried to live a good life?
you tried to help those in need?
LIAR
you sat on your ass and played VIDEO GAMES
What's worse
you sat on your ass and made video game music REMIXES
all the while the world was left to rot and fester from the inside out

what could you have done with your life to make the world a better place?
what contribution could you have made?
You know that girl you fell in love with but who never returned the feeling?
That's because you NEVER TRIED TO IMPRESS HER
YOU NEVER TRIED TO WIN HER HEART
Instead she married that jerk who used to beat you up in third grade
And had three children named Billy, Samantha, and Tim!

And as you grew older you filled with nothing but regret
For a worthless life spent wasted, gone forever
No one will remember
No one will care
Your name dies with you
And it will be as if you had never lived at all
The soul
The human soul
YOUR HUMAN SOUL
The greatest mystical object of all

IT BEGAN IN 2029

The moon had been colonized by humans
Lunar bases were established all over the face of the surface

But one nearby crater held a secret....

Dinosaurs had not perished on the earth as believed by man,
but instead, knowing the impending ice age would mean
certain doom to them, decided to join efforts in the creation
of SASA (Saurus Aeronautics and Space Administration) to
migrate to... the MOON!

Unfortunately they were all pretty retarded and didn't realize IT'S FUCKING FREEZING BALLS ON THE FUCKING MOON so almost all of them died out.

Those that didn't, used the space technology for more interesting purposes.

LASERS WERE FASHIONED
WAR WAS DECLARED
THE HUMANS HAD INVADED
THEY MUST BE ERRADICATED
