Habiru
Habiru or Apiru (Egyptian: ˁpr.w) was the name given by various Sumerian, Egyptian, Akkadian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Ugaritic sources (dated, roughly, between 1800 BC and 1100 BC) to a group of people living as nomadic invaders in areas of the Fertile Crescent from Northeastern Mesopotamia and Iran to the borders of Egypt in Canaan. Depending on the source and epoch, these Habiru are variously described as nomadic or semi-nomadic, rebels, outlaws, raiders, mercenaries, and bowmen, servants, slaves, migrant laborers, etc. The Habiru are often identified as the early Hebrews.
The names Habiru and Apiru are used in Akkadian cuneiform texts. The corresponding name in the Egyptian script appears to be ʕpr.w, conventionally pronounced Apiru (the w representing the Egyptian plural suffix). In Mesopotamian records they are also identified by the Sumerian logogram SA.GAZ. The name Habiru was also found in the Amarna letters to Egyptian pharaohs, along with many names of Canaanite peoples written in Akkadian.

Welcome To The Horror Show
by: HibriaThey come out of nowhere
And push you outta control
Perplexed you feel
Your senses scream they're real
Obscuring thoughts are all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Paranoia is guiding your life
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Obsession is ruling your mind
Alone, there's no resort
Conspiring friends you can't trust
Trapped by your instincts
Nobody around to believe
Wide eyes are always all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Helpless you crawl
Insanity beast devours
Voices from within
Announcing the final hour
[Solo]
Corroding inside your brain,
Thoughts that won't give up
Devising anxiety, seducing your soul
Evidences so unreal, eyes and ears misled to feel betrayed
The nightmare now is on
