Reinbern
Reinbern (-1013/15) was the only bishop of the short-lived Diocese of Kolberg) (1000-~1007).
Reinbern was born in the Hassegau area of the medieval Duchy of Saxony. When Holy Roman Emperor Otto III met with his friend, the Polish duke Boleslaw I in the Congress of Gniezno (Gnesen), the Archbishopric of Gniezno was founded. One of Gniezno's subordinated bishoprics was the Diocese of Kołobrzeg., Its purpose was to advance the Christianization of the pagan Pomeranians that shortly before had been subdued by the Poles. Reinbern was made bishop. It is documented that he "baptized" the Baltic Sea by spilling Holy Oil and Holy Water into the sea. He also demolished shrines of pagan gods in Pomerania. Yet, after his bishopric was driven out during a pagan uprising, he returned to Boleslaw's court. In 1009, he accompanied Boleslaw to the marriage arranged between Boleslaw's daughter and Sviatopolk, prince of Turov (Turaŭ) in the Kievan Rus', where an internal Kievian crisis involving Boleslaw's daughter led to the arrest of Reinbern by prince Vladimir. Soon afterwards, he died imprisoned in 1012.

Listen Through The Noise
by: RainburnProgrammed to move
On the paths that they've defined
Swinging to the tired groove
Played in common time
If you're in luck
There's a purpose you might find
Don't stand aside
As life passes by
Listen through the noise in your mind
Can you hear the screams
Of suspended dreams?
Listen to the voice in your mind
Light changes hue
Don't want to be left behind
Someone to join you in the queue
Before you run out of time
And tell yourself
The road ahead is fine
Don't stand aside
As life passes by
Listen through the noise in your mind
Can you hear the screams
Of suspended dreams?
Listen to the voice in your mind
Hey! There's been a mistake
These words don't rhyme no more
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
Chasing Atlantis
How could we not foresee
Life would come to this?
Don't stand aside
As life passes by
Listen through the noise in your mind
Can you hear the screams
Of suspended dreams?
Listen to the voice in your mind
Don't stand aside
As life passes by
