The organization of the empire by Hammurabi, with Babylon as its capital, placed it in a position from which it was never dislodged dur ing the remaining history of Babylonia. This resulted in the closing of the political history of the Sumerians. The seat of power was then transferred permanently from the southern states. The city evidently played a very unimportant part in the political history of Babylonia of the early period, for besides these references it is almost unknown until the time of Hammurabi, when its rise brought about a new epoch in the history of Babylonia. In the time of Dungi we learn that the place was sacked. That monarch laid the foundations of the temple of Annnit, and also those of the temple of Amal. The earliest mention of Babylon is in the time of Sargon I, about 2700 BC. This, he writes, was surrounded by a moat or rampart 300 ft. He says that the city was a great square, 42 miles in circuit. Herodotus, the Greek historian, has given us a picture of Babylon in his day. It was also called Su-anna (which is of uncertain meaning) and Uru-azagga, "the holy city." Ka-ding'irra, which also means "gate of god," was another form of the name in Sumerian. The name in Sumerian ideographs was written Din-tir, which means "life of the forest," and yet ancient etymologists explained it as meaning "place of the seat of life" (shubat balaTe). This name they considered came from the' root, balal, "to confound" ( Genesis 11:9). I put in brackets the changes to the song in the live version.Babylon was the Greek name of the city written in the cuneiform script of the Babylonians, bab-ili, which means in Semitic, "the gate of god." The Hebrews called the country, as well as the city, Babhel. I noticed some differences between the live version of the song and the recorded version. I wanna be the one that shoots the truth of my death [Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing Hallucinating, chasing, changing, bracing You can take a lighter to the shadows and forget I'm almost positive these are the correct lyrics. I wanna be the one that should've said "You do not dare" Where you were going, you are on your own Well you lost your girlfriend, she was not knowing and yeah, that one verse is really hard to understand so if anyone else knows wtf she is saying i'd like to know for sure! Reason: and some of the words can be heard other waya, even i hear different words sometimes (like 'ripples' for instance). and yeah, that one verse is really hard to understand so if anyone else knows wtf she is saying i'd like to know for sure! You wanna be the one that shoots that truth i'm not dead Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing, bracing You befriended the harsh way it ended now sleep tight Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing, breaking Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you although if you listen closely you can tell that it's not really close to what is listed here. even watching so many live videos i have no idea what she is singing during that part. with that in mind, there's almost an entire verse - second to last one - that i cannot interpret. it is definitely hard to get the correct lyrics just by listening to this track because martina's accent and vocal style. These lyrics are pretty close but there are some errors here, as i see (hear) it. I wanna be the one that should've said, "You do not dare" You befriended the harsh way it ended, now sleep tight Where you were going, you were on your own Well, you lost your girlfriend, she was not knowing Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in? Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you? You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget Now you know it's over, rolling off her shoulder
