The Ancestral Puebloans were an ancient Native American culture that spanned the present-day Four Corners region of the United States, comprising southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. It is believed that the Ancestral Puebloans developed, at least in part, from the Oshara Tradition, who developed from the Picosa culture. They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses, larger structures to house clans, grand pueblos, and cliff-sited dwellings for defense. The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers. They held a distinct knowledge of celestial sciences that found form in their architecture. The Kiva, a congregational space that was used chiefly for ceremonial purposes, was an integral part of this ancient peoples community structure.
In contemporary times, the people and their archaeological culture were referred to as Anasazi for historical purposes, a name which was given them by the Navajo, who were not their descendants. Reflecting historic traditions, the term was used to mean "ancestors of enemies," and contemporary Puebloans do not want this term used.
The Anasazi or Ancient Pueblo Peoples were an ancient Native American culture in what is now the Southwestern United States.

Game over, I'€™m an old soul into this land
With my back against the wall
I could dig but I do not dare
Let the show begins, this life ain'€™t real
I must burn the evidence
Lost and found, there'€™s a whole world within my mind
Chaos in my eyes, have to try but I do not care (I do not dare)
Let the hunt begins, this time it'€™s real
Hope I survive '€˜till the end
Mr twilight'€™s comin'€™
I wake up in my bed, where'€™s the light shinin'€™ over me
Almost touch the void, there'€™s a door leadin'€™out of here
If I cross the line and stand beside you
Will I find my way back home again
I break the mirror, am I conscious, maybe dead
Once again, addicted to the pills
Pull the trigger with this empty gun and fear the consequences
Am I cursed
Mr twilight runs through my head
I'€™m compromised, I'€™m scarred to die
I feel my heartbeat through my hands are tied
I scream out loud, the monster is breathing
I feed him everydays and nights
Will I find my life back home again
Mr twilight'€™s comin'€™
Running, mr twilight runs through my head
Seeking, everybody seeks revenge again
Burning, mr twilight burns out my brain
Turning, I can'€™t reach the turning point again
But I can stop the game, you cannot stop this game
Mr twilight is not a game, no way
Running, mr twilight runs through my head
Seeking, everybody seeks revenge again
Burning, mr twilight burns out my brain
Turning, I can'€™t reach the turning point again
I have to stop this game
You can'€™t stop this game, there'€™s no shame
I entertain you, slave to the machine
A new era has come back in the dark
I robbed your mind, I'€™ll dig your body
