Sikyátki
Sikyátki is an archeological site and former Hopi village spanning 40,000 to 60,000 square metres (430,000 to 650,000 sq ft) on the eastern side of First Mesa, in what is now Navajo County in the U.S. state of Arizona. The village was inhabited by Kokop clan of the Hopi from the 14th to the 17th century. Jesse Walter Fewkes led a Smithsonian Institution funded excavation of the site in 1895. During the excavations many well-preserved ceramic sherds were found. The designs on the sherds inspired the artist Nampeyo; sparking the Sikyátki revival in polychrome pottery.
Sikyátki, which means "Yellow House" in the Hopi language, according to oral tradition was burned and its population exterminated by the neighboring village of Wálpi. The dispute erupted into violence when a villager from Sikyátki cut off the head of a sister of a man from Wálpi who had offended him.

Barcelona
by: PsychoticaHello senora tell me how you've been
Is the western world still beneath your feet
Did you need me in your darkest hour
Was it you I heard screaming in your sleep
Tell me senora was he true to you
Did he leave you sleeping on a bed of nails
And did the wolves start to circle in the shadows around
Waiting for your weakest part to fail
Did you show them how to fly, the barcelona sky
While Mozart plays for you
A haunting lullaby
No need to rectify
The music plays for you
While Barcelona cries
Tell me senora have you found your peace
Is there silence in your hacienda now
And did you need me in your darkest hour
