Babylonia was an ancient Akkadian-speaking Semitic state and cultural region based in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). A small Amorite-ruled state emerged in 1894 BC, which contained at this time the minor city of Babylon. Babylon greatly expanded during the reign of Hammurabi in the first half of the 18th century BC, becoming a major capital city. During the reign of Hammurabi and afterwards, Babylonia was called Mât Akkadî "the country of Akkad" in Akkadian.
It was often involved in rivalry with its older fellow Akkadian state of Assyria in northern Mesopotamia. Babylonia briefly became the major power in the region after Hammurabi (fl. c. 1792 – 1752 BC middle chronology, or c. 1696 – 1654 BC, short chronology) created a short-lived empire, succeeding the earlier Akkadian Empire, Neo-Sumerian Empire, and Old Assyrian Empire; however, the Babylonian empire rapidly fell apart after the death of Hammurabi. The Akkadian Empire fell to the Babylonian Empire later on.

You say "I love but I'm not in love"
You wear your life like overtight gloves
You try to conceal the discomfort you're feeling
Oh, I can feel you
Oh, now your soul is soaring
In your eyes
In your smile
In your face
Something uncertain
In your words
In your moves
In your ways
Something undefined
Something
Something
Something
In your eyes
In your smile
I can find the ethereal connection
You say "I love but I'm not in love"
Among the eagles you fly like a dove
There's something waiting to bloom in your arms
Oh, I can feel it
Oh, now you soul is showing
You're falling
You're rising
