Mattighofen is a town in the district of Braunau am Inn, part of the Innviertel region, in the Austrian state of Upper Austria.
Initially Mattighofen belonged to the stem duchy of Bavaria, that became a part of Francia. In 757 a Kaiserpfalz (palace) of the ruling Carolingian dynasty was documented here. On the Frankfurt synod of 1007 Emperor Henry II granted the Mattighofen estates to the newly created Bishopric of Bamberg. It was acquired by the House of Wittelsbach in the 16th century and affected by the War of the Bavarian Succession after which it passed to the Archduchy of Austria according to the 1779 Treaty of Teschen. Mattighofen received town privileges in 1986.
Mattighofen is the headquarters of the KTM brand, who produces Automobiles, Motorcycles and bicycles.

Lend me your children to borrow
I just need to send them away
Long eyes and tears of sorrow
I promise I'll keep them safe
So sorry it didn't work out
You believed the liar in me
My God, my love, my life
My world, my loss, my rage
Agnostic for the greater good
When the good things seem to be few and far between
Conscious loss of conscience
Packed the body on ice just to keep it numb
No feeling
Blame some things on the past
Threw away everything that I had
Unraveling for the last time
Stepping out of my skin cast in armor
The hate in me, feeling so empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow, hollow
Assembly of the militant
What are you in our game?
Eradicate the power's law
Hope's a thing of the past
[Incomprehensible]
The hammer falls
The hate in me, feeling so empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow
Wounded, having a loss of feeling
So dead my heart, my life has been ruined
Lost in an instant, saw red in my eyes
The hate in me, so consuming
The lives we swallow
To the front line, mirror's engaged
Scope's on me and leaves me hollow
Harvest children, harvest children
Harvest children, harvest children
Harvest children
My God, my love, my life
