Texas /ˈtɛksəs/ (Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is a state in the United States of America. It is the second most populous and second largest state by area in the US. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with Mexico to the south and borders the states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2) and a growing population of over 27.5 million residents (July 2015).
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
Texas is a state of the United States of America, formerly the Republic of Texas.

I'm starting a new quest
Because my knowledge is not enough
I must leave you here alone
But I surely will return
It's only for a year
I'll be waiting here for you
You are always in my heart
And I'll love you for all time
My brother is informed
He'll keep an eye on you
His heart is strong and pure
And his sword will protect you
With him I have no fear
But it doesn't comfort me
My heart belongs to you
For you I'll save my tears
... don't take this farewell so hard [2x]
When the evil will awake
Don't make a fatal mistake
You can't defeat them all
Send me a sign to come
I'll reach you everywhere
My heart will find the way
But now it's time to go
For the last time I feel you
