House of Hohenzollern
The House of Hohenzollern is a dynasty of former princes, electors, kings, and emperors of Hohenzollern, Brandenburg, Prussia, the German Empire, and Romania. The family arose in the area around the town of Hechingen in Swabia during the 11th century and took their name from Hohenzollern Castle. The first ancestor of the Hohenzollerns was mentioned in 1061.
The Hohenzollern family split into two branches, the Catholic Swabian branch and the Protestant Franconian branch, which later became the Brandenburg-Prussian branch. The Swabian branch ruled the principalities of Hohenzollern-Hechingen and Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen until 1849, and also ruled Romania from 1866 to 1947. Members of the Franconian branch became Margrave of Brandenburg in 1415 and Duke of Prussia in 1525.
The Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia were ruled in personal union after 1618 and were called Brandenburg-Prussia. The Kingdom of Prussia was created in 1701, eventually leading to the unification of Germany and the creation of the German Empire in 1871, with the Hohenzollerns as hereditary German Emperors and Kings of Prussia.

Barely Stay Inside Of My Own Skin
by: Ceili RainWell I can hardly stand the heightened state I'm in
Barely stay inside of my own skin
Can't believe the life I get to live
Can't conceive the joy I have to give
All because - because of You
Because You made me - made me new
I am not the frightened guy I've been
Barely stay inside of my own skin
Well I can hardly keep the pace and catch my breath
Barely tell my right foot from my left
Got a giant geyser in my heart
Blowin up but hopfully not apart
All because - because of You
Because You made me - chase the Truth
Not the timid guy I've always been
Barely stay inside of my own skin
Well I can see the dawn of brighter bold new days
See my troubles wilt and blow away
See us holdin' hands both black and white
See myself, attempting what is right
All because - because of You
Because You made me - wanna come through
Not the empty promise that I've been
Barely stay inside of my own skin
Jump, jump, jumpin' right out of
Jump, jumpin' out of my skin
