Hardegg is a town in the district of Hollabrunn in Lower Austria, Austria. It is situated in the Waldviertel region on the river Thaya, directly on the border with the Czech Republic. The Thaya valley is protected as a national park, adjacent to the Podyjí National Park on the Czech shore.
Since 1975 the municipality comprises the Katastralgemeinden of Hardegg, Felling, Heufurth, Mallersbach, Merkersdorf, Niederfladnitz, Pleissing, Riegersburg, Umlauf (unpopulated, is entirely located within the Thayatal national park and comprises a mere 12 fishermen's huts), and Waschbach. As Hardegg proper has only 78 inhabitants, it is often referred to as Austria's smallest town.
Hardegg Castle in the March of Austria was first mentioned in an 1145 deed, it was acquired by the Counts of Plain about 1187. Hardegg itself is first documented as a town in 1290. Located on the border with the Kingdom of Bohemia, the area was devastated during the Hussite Wars in 1425. In 1483 Hardegg was bequeathed to the Habsburg archdukes of Austria.
Your reason i can't see
No solution no happy ending
In this world we hold so dear
There's to much, too much fear
If we build a new
We build on trust
But we're the fools to believe
The reward we receive
Disappears in the blink of an eye
(Chorus)
Is there no love left in the world?
Oh the tangled web we weave
Conscience is non existing
To be raped of all, only tears to fall
Only to be scared, no mercy to be spared
(Chorus)
Shameless world, at a loss for words
Show pity for the theif
What possesses torment
Who allows it to be
Who could have a heart, and tear apart
Something sacred to the soul
It's all bittersweet, the sincere are in the cold
With time we all can change
