The Grass Remembers Nothing — Genghis Khan | Epic Heavy Metal

When he was nine his father was poisoned and the clan rode off with the herds, leaving his mother and five children alone on the open steppe three weeks before winter. They survived on roots and field mice. At thirteen he killed his own half-brother over stolen food. He went on to build the largest contiguous empire in history — not on blood alone, but by promoting shepherds over princes and putting loyalty above birth. He was buried in secret. Everyone who saw the funeral column was killed, then the men who killed them were killed, and a thousand horses were ridden over the ground. The grave has never been found. Original lyrics.
