Bunder

A bunder is a unit of area in the Low Countries (Belgium and the Netherlands).

In the Netherlands, it was frequently used in the Achterhoek, Twente, and some parts of Drenthe to estimate areas of land, particularly in agriculture. Traditionally it had different values in different regions, but since the adoption of the metric system it has been defined to be equal to one hectare.

In Belgium, a bunder was used as unit of area in the part of the country historically belonging to the Holy Roman Empire (i.e. east of the Scheldt). In general, one bunder was 1/12 of a mansus. During the French occupation (1796–1815) the old measurement standards were accurately converted to the metric system. A general standard like the one in the Netherlands (1 bunder = 1 hectare) has never been adopted in Belgium.

    5 Minutes Alone

    by: Pantera

    I see you had your mind all made up you group of
    Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
    Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
    Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
    What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole.
    You've waged a war of nerves
    But you can't crush the kingdom
    Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
    You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give
    us...
    5 minutes alone.. Just give us, 5 minutes alone
    I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for
    A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter
    Rascist tool. -You can't burn me- I've spilled my guts
    In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where
    I've come. My past.
    You've waged a war of nerves
    But you can't crush the kingdom
    Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
    I bury your compensation. I ask you please just give
    us...
