MELECHESH - Illumination: The Face of Shamash (w/lyrics) video free download
The song Illumination: The Face of Shamash from Melechesh their new album: ''The Epigenesis''
Melechesh is a black metal band that originated in Jerusalem. Ashmedi started the band as a solo project in 1993. In the following year, guitarist Moloch and drummer Lord Curse were added to the line-up. The band's goal was to create a type of black metal incorporating extensive Middle Eastern influences mainly based on Mesopotamian/Sumerian and occult themes (both musically and lyrically); the band invented the title "Mesopotamian metal" to best describe their type of metal. The band started their career in Jerusalem (and Bethlehem) and operated from there between 1993--1998; however, they have resided mainly in Amsterdam since 1998 for several personal, professional and demographic reasons.
LYRICS:
Wings from letters
Carry me beyond the white
Here I am standing
Burning winds fill my lungs
My eyes are open
My palm is read
Prophets propel me, propel me to the zone
They enter my mind, LIGHT!
These are Sumer's chosen ones
Angst from enlightenment
Face of the Sun will guide me
Shamash, carry me beyond the white
This is the will of fate
Dead trees are you
Position the fingers forward (whispers)

Not an easy question. It comes from within. We all have it. It's just recognizing the path. The symbols. When taking on an organic form they are subject to rules. As you were.11 years ago

Were they tall and cone-shaped, rising to a point with four strange appendages, all of which can extend and recede at will to any distance up to about ten feet. Two terminate in claws, the clicking of which act as a method of communication, a third in four red "trumpets," and the fourth, a yellowish globe featuring three eyes around the central circumference, flower-like ears on top and tentacles on the underside?12 years ago

Dude, you know the truth. Your the first person i've seen that may know about what they actually look like. Ive seen one myself. Only one, and i dont know if it was just a single individual or a race of beings that look that way. But since you say they are immortal i have to ask the question, and PLEASE answer me on this. I dont get a chance to talk to many people about this subject, mostly because no one really believes me. What do they look like? these immortals? Can you describe them?12 years ago
