Al-Damun
Al-Damun (Arabic: الدامون, Dâmûn) was a Palestinian Arab village located 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) from the city of Acre that was depopulated during 1948 Arab-Israeli war. In 1945, the village had 1,310 inhabitants, most of whom were Muslim, while the remainder were Christians. The village bordered the al-Na'amin River, which it used as a source of irrigation and drinking water from installed wells.
History
Excavations at the site has shown pot sherds dating from the Late Bronze Age, up to and including Early Islamic, Crusader, Mamluk and Ottoman times.
Al-Damun is mentioned in early Arab and Persian sources since the 11th century CE. Local tradition identified the village as containing the tomb of the prophet Dhul-Kifl, who is mentioned in the Qur'an twice. Despite Islamic tradition claiming the tomb to be in Al Kifl near Najaf or Kifl Hares near Nablus, Nasir Khusraw believed it to be al-Damun when he visited the region in 1047. He writes "I reached a small cave, which is in Damun where I performed the ziyarat too, for it is said to be the tomb of Dhul-Kifl, peace be upon him."

Out Here All Night
by: DamoneSummer's coming too fast
Winter's been here too long
If we keep wasting our days
Pretty soon they'll be gone
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is all right
We can be happy too
If you look out for me
The way I looked out for you
People take what they need
Then they tell you, "Get lost"
Kindly leading you on
While they're ripping you off
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is all right
We can be happy too
If you look out for me
The way I looked out for you
If I sounded insecure
It's because I wasn't sure
You were really there
I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is all right
We can be happy too
If you look out for me
The way I looked out for you
You can stand there all night
You can stand there all day
You can do what you like
It doesn't matter to me
