Hetman
Hetman is a political title, historically assigned to military commanders. It was the title of the second-highest military commander (after the monarch) in 15th- to 18th-century Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which together, from 1569 to 1795, comprised the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, or Rzeczpospolita. For much of the history of the Principality of Moldavia, the Hetman (Rmn. hatman) was the second in rank in the army after the ruling prince (who held the position of Voivode). Hetman was also the highest military office in Ukraine's Hetmanates, the Zaporizhian Host (1649–1764) and Ukrainian State (1918). The title (гетьман) was used by Ukraine's Cossacks from the 16th century, and by the Czechs (hejtman) in Bohemia from the Hussite Wars (15th century) on. Hejtman is today the term for the elected governor of a Czech region (kraj).
Etymology
One theory derives the word from the Old High German Hauptmann, with Haupt meaning "head" and Mann—"man". Hauptmann was a common military title during medieval times, literally meaning "captain" but functionally corresponding rather to today's "general". Moreover, it has been suggested that the Czech language may have served as an intermediary.

The Test Of Time
by: HittmanDon't burn your bridges down again
You'll have no way to get back home
The long and endless road is far behind you
And hearts of ice they melt alone
The hidden message heard between the lines
Is only there to waste your time
The questions' answers are right inside you
Just be prepared to lead the way
CHORUS:
The lights are guiding you and the illusions' fading
And with time running out, will you last the test of time?
Too many dreamers write an empty page
When they make the history of the world
But then our leaders try tp steal the rough drafts
So they know what's next to do
The empty threats we hear may never come
It seems just like they're said in fun
The questions' answer is right inside me
Just look around, I'm on my way
