Shutu

Shutu /ˈʃuːtuː/ or Sutu /ˈsuːtuː/ is the name given in ancient Akkadian language sources to certain nomadic groups of the Trans-Jordanian highlands, extending deep into Mesopotamia and Southern Iraq. Many scholars have speculated that "Shutu" may be a variant of the Egyptian phrase shasu.

An Egyptian execration text of the 17th century BCE refers to an "Ayyab" (possibly a variant form of the name Job) as king of the Shutu. Some scholars have tenuously identified the Shutu as the progenitors of the Moabites and Ammonites.

    Anthem No 1 ( Lady Of The Lake )

    by: Sweet

    Your are the queen
    I'm just a pawn
    In the chess game of life
    Send me to war
    A whisper to the king
    Of the favours you gave me
    I will take my chance
    On a crusade of love
    Be my Lady of the Lake
    Come love me before it's too late
    Be my Lady of the Lake
    For the angel with the sword of death won't wait
    The colours that I wear
    Show me just how much you care
    Lady
    My body is done
    My soul will return
    To the Lady of the Lake
    Dying came too soon
    Cry no more tears
    There's love after life
    A king and his queen everlasting light
    Be my Lady of the Lake
    Come love me before it's too late
    The colours that I wear
    Show me just how much you care
