Horsens lies at the end of Horsens Fjord in eastern Jutland. The city is surrounded by typical moraine landscape with low hills and valleys created by glaciers during the last ice ages. Horsens is 50 km (31 mi) south of Aarhus and 30 km (19 mi) north of Vejle, and approximately 200 km (120 mi) from Copenhagen.
It is believed the name Horsens derives from the old Danish words hors (horse) and næs (naze, headland). From the 12th century the name Horsenes is known.
The earliest traces of a city are remains of a pagan burial site and houses dating back to the 10th century. In the 12th century, the kings Sweyn III and Valdemar I issued coins in the city. In the 13th century the city got its own legal code.
A whispered wind, a broken life
I'm everything you took in stride
Find a way to sidestep the bullet
Your time is up and the clock's still ticking
I am not waiting for anyone
I am not waiting for you
You think you're in control
But you're just rolling with the punches
And I see right through you
(I see right through you)
You think you're in control
But you're just rolling with the punches
And I see right through you
(Right through you)
So watch your back and understand me 'cause I believe
('cause I believe)
I'll try to make you see
This is bigger than you and me
Make you understand
This was not part of the plan
I'll try to make you see
This is bigger than you and me
Make you understand
This was not part of the plan
You think you're in control
But you're just rolling with the punches
And I see right through
(Right through you)
So watch your back and understand me 'cause I believe
('cause I believe)
So watch your back and understand me
'Cause I couldn't let it be
('cause I couldn't let it be)
Fight for a chance to have it all
(to have it all)
The world is waiting for you
