Stryków [ˈstrɨkuf] is a town in central Poland, in Łódź Voivodeship, in Zgierz County. It has 3,552 inhabitants (2012).
The first mention of Strykow was in 1387. Strykow was a village situated on the route from Zgierz to Lowicz. Strykow received city rights in 1394 from King Wladyslaw Jagiello, at the request of the heir of the town founder, Strykowskiego Deresława. In the middle of the eighteenth century, the city had 45 artisans (13 clothiers, 5 merchants and shopkeepers, and 5 others) and was a local center of commerce and crafts. It was also a center of aristocratic wealth.
In 1744 the town received the privilege of organizing eight fairs a year. Strykow belonged to medium-sized cities. Textile manufacturing was attempted by the then owner Felix Czarnecki but without success. The town economy remained centered on crafts and agriculture. Contemporary activities have left traces of the old town in the form of an existing semi-circular square in the city center.

In a savourin' senses' worns
Lovin' the love of death
you can take me away
with no life to nowhere
In my dark waitin' hell
In the land of the night-shades
you can change my desires
and my dark Fairy-Tales
Now I'm goin' to bounds
of the reason of my life
and its starry of falls
dreamin' my soothsaying'...
Down, now I'm fallin' in your mind...
Callin', callin' vision in your head,
It's so hard to be strong
and standin' in your place
Call your faith..!

In my dark waitin' hell
In the land of the starquake...
you can make all the Spells...
to reach your Lightnin' Tales
Now I'm walkin' across
through the river of passion...
ravin' down in your head
your prayers
Down, now I'm fallin' in your mind...
Callin', callin' vision in your head, It's so hard to be strong
and standin' in your place again...
Call your faith!
Callin', callin' vision in your mind,
It's so hard to be strong
