Qara Khitai
The Qara Khitai (alternatively spelled Kara Khitai, Mongolian: Хар Хятан, 1124–1218), also known as the Kara Khitan Khanate or Western Liao (traditional Chinese: 西遼; simplified Chinese: 西辽; pinyin: Xī Liáo), officially the Great Liao (traditional Chinese: 大遼; simplified Chinese: 大辽; pinyin: Dà Liáo), was a sinicized Khitan empire in Central Asia. The dynasty was founded by Yelü Dashi, who led the remnants of the Liao dynasty to Central Asia after fleeing from the Jurchen conquest of their homeland in the north and northeast of modern-day China. The empire was usurped by the Naimans under Kuchlug in 1211; traditional Chinese, Persian, and Arab sources considered the usurpation to be the end of the Qara Khitai rule. The empire was later taken by the Mongol Empire in 1218.

The Journey
by: KarkadanIt feels like a part of me
is falling asleep
And there will be
no chance for awakening
The ship of death awaits me to embark
An endless journey - the ascension of mine
I stand in front of the holy shrine
But I forever renounce Christ
I thought to leave - forever the light
when I had the never known wisdom
to cast a forgotten spell of sight
To open the hidden gate to freedom
of the ones who rest - forever in peace
I follow myself - to the ruins of pain
Where old wounds do open wide
Hurted by drops of blood - the red rain
of remembrance that will never remain
I imagine their souls - uneven in the dark
No chance for being released
as grave candles illuminate the grief
Believe in Me!
