Gurzil
Gurzil or Agurzil was a war deity of the ancient Berbers.
In Berber mythology, Gurzil was a bull-shaped war god who became identified with the son of Amun (Ammon). He was taken by the Berbers to their battles against the Romans.
In the 6th century, Corippus mentioned that Iarna -- chief of the Berber tribe known as the Laguatans (or Luwata as they were later known to the Arabs) -- took his god "Gurzil" into battle against the Byzantines. Iarna was a Moorish ruler and a high priest of Gurzil. After the Moors where defeated he fled with the "sacred image" of Gurzil, but was caught and killed and the image destroyed. Gurzil was later taken by the Berber queen Dihya (Kahina) into her battles against the Arab Muslims.
There was among the ruins of Ghirza in Libya a temple, which may have been dedicated to Gurzil, and the name of the town itself may even be related to his name.

SALLY

Moves from place to place
Sally moves from place to place.
You never really know her or what she says.
Because perfection has it's own ways,
Perfection has it's own ways.
Sally moves from place to place.
You never really know her that's what she says.
Because perfection has it's own ways,
Cause perfection never ever stays.
You've never really told her just what you want.
You let the reasons fly above your head
Well she hides her problems under the bed.
Let's go out, show me directions
Don't you hide your intentions
I look out to the rainbow
Just stop pulling my elbow
I know you're just inventing
that's why, that's why i'm faking
I know, I see it in you
That's why, that's why I continue
We're these lies, we're these lies.
Running together, moving like the flies.
We're these lies, we're these lies.
Running together, moving like the flies.
I know all this is boring,
I know you're just ignoring.
