Grammichele (Sicilian: Grammicheli, Greek: Echetle (meaning "plowshare"); Latin: Echetla, Ochula; Medieval: Occhiolà) is a town and comune in the province of Catania in Sicily, southern Italy. It is located at the feet of the Hyblaean Mountains, some 13 km from Caltagirone.
It was built in 1693, after the destruction by an earthquake of the old town of Occhialà. to the north; the latter, on account of the similarity of name, is generally identified with Echetla, a frontier city between Syracusan and Carthaginian territory in the time of Hiero II, which appears to have been originally a Sicel city in which Greek civilization prevailed from the 5th century onwards. On July 15, 1943, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division fought its first battle against German troops during the Battle of Sicily at Grammichele. The name of the town was later granted as a Battle Honour to three regiments of the Canadian Forces.
To the east of Grammichele a cave shrine of Demeter, with fine votive terracottas, has been discovered. Other sights include the Mother Church, dedicated to St. Michael, and the church of the Calvary.

Can’t sit still, all messed up. Gut’s on fire, can’t help wondering what’s going through her mind. She never really said much and now our time is passing us by.
So many years, still right back here and after all this time I’m back in this hole again, waiting around again, waiting for her.
Such good friends, real good times. God I wish she’d make up her mind cause It’s killing me, not knowing what it is we’re supposed to be, she wont talk to me.
I can’t let go until I know for sure if I’m just wasting all of my time with this, trying to cope with this is tearing me apart
I can’t shake these memories, and its messing up my head.
We don’t belong together, but I’ll still never forget her,
cause she’s haunting me with all the things she never said.
Cause I never got an answer and it’s following me around.
I don’t care what may be. Its alright, I don’t want to see all the reasons why we have to let this chance simply pass us by, still I cant deny.
I’ve known so long that its all wrong but I just can’t let go of the possibility. This opportunity is dragging me around.
I can’t let go until I know exactly how she feels about me but if I’m wrong, this has gone on too long, its time for this to end.
