Waxhaws
The Waxhaws is a geographical area on the border of North and South Carolina.
Geography
The Waxhaws region is in the Piedmont region of North and South Carolina, southwest of the Uwharrie Mountains. The region encompasses an area just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, to Lancaster, South Carolina; and from Monroe, North Carolina in the east to the Catawba River in the west. The region is generally forested and hilly, but not mountainous. One town in the region has taken on the name, but it is only one site in the region.
History
Originally known as "the Waxhaw Settlement", the area was named for its first inhabitants, the Waxhaw Tribe. The Waxhaw were almost annihilated by Eurasian infectious diseases, to which they had no immunity. Secondly, they were destroyed and dispersed by the Yamasee War of 1715, which nearly emptied the region of Native inhabitants.
About 1740 European immigrants, mostly Scots-Irish and German, began to settle the area. What is now called the Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church was built in 1752.

Larger Than Life
by: AxxisFeel the beat - hear the sound
Feeling so excited
Blazing eyes all around
Are watching me this night
Fade away reality
Feeling like a child
Another world that set me free
My heart is beating wild
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
You wanna see in my eyes
A hero, an idol for you
...I'm larger than life
All the towns I've seen
Many unknown places
Yellow, red, bland and white
All the foreign faces
Countries all around the world
Borders lost their meaning
Supersonic aeroplanes
We sat inside and dreaming
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
All that you see in my eyes
Am I really an idol
Am I - larger than life?
Blazing eyes!
All your looks let me live and survive
And you - you keep me alive.
You're dreaming and screaming
