Bretwalda (also brytenwalda and bretenanwealda) is an Old English word, the first record of which comes from the late 9th century Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is given to some of the rulers of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms from the 5th century onwards who had achieved overlordship of some or all of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It is unclear whether the word dates back to the 5th century and was used by the kings themselves, or whether it is a later, 9th-century, invention. The term bretwalda also appears in a charter of Æthelstan.
The rulers of Mercia were generally the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kings from the mid-7th to the early 9th centuries, but are not accorded the title of bretwalda by the Chronicle, which is generally thought to be because of the anti-Mercian bias of the Chroniclers. The Annals of Wales continued to recognise the kings of Northumbria as 'Kings of the Saxons' until the death of Osred I of Northumbria in 716.
Ritual not a sin
Evolution
Spawned decay
Bow to thou
On your knees
Retribution
Does exist
Dif.
Conquer me
You'll survive
Terrorizing
I will crush
Rotting life
Engless vision
At dawn they rise
Out of hell
To torture me...
Drained of life...
Tragedy...
Unholy...
Demonized...
Torture...
Leave me now...
To suffocate...
End is near or is it
The beginning of time
I've been lured unto
The gates of hell
Unprotected
Your guts I rip
The land I rule
Binded by the mark
Thrown into
Pit of fire
Blood I drool
Biting on decay
At dawn they live
Non-existing
Coming back from
The darkness
Crawling through
A spawned illusion
In the night of the dark sky
They rise...
Unregret
Gathered around
The carcass
Slowly death
No release for you
