Tipi

A tipi (also tepee or teepee) is a conical tent, traditionally made of animal skins upon wooden poles. A tipi is distinguished from other conical tents by the smoke flaps at the top of the structure. Historically, the tipi was designed and largely used by Indigenous people of the Plains in the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies of North America. Tipi lodges are still in use by these peoples, though now primarily for ceremonial purposes.

Tipis are stereotypically and incorrectly associated with all Native Americans in the United States and Aboriginal people in Canada, despite their usage being unique to the peoples of the Plains. Native American tribes and First Nation band governments from other regions have used other types of dwellings. The tipi is durable, provides warmth and comfort in winter, is cool in the heat of summer, and is dry during heavy rains. Tipis can be disassembled and packed away quickly when people need to relocate and can be reconstructed quickly upon settling in a new area. Historically, this portability was important to Plains Indians with their at times nomadic lifestyle.

    Eden

    by: Die Happy

    There's war in the heavens
    Rebellion on high
    the son of the morning
    Descends from a black sky
    Severed and broken
    His wings burned to dust
    His coverings of diamonds and gold
    In a moment in time dissolve to rust
    Thunder and lightning
    Shatter the night
    The dragon of darkness
    Appears cursed by the keeper of the light
    The dark is chosen
    The scroll has been sealed
    Hidden in verses of prophets
    His face is revealed
    Songs of glory
    Shout across the land
    I can take you there
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Down through the ages
    The story's been told
    The daughter of wisdom
    Beguiled by the serpent of old
    Born into sin in a valley of thorns
    Torn from enchantment and
    Tossed into the eye of the storm
    Heaven's garden
    Made by God for man
    This is paradise
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Glory to glory
    Sin after sin
    The rider of death
    Pushes on to the place where
    The battle must begin
    Songs of glory
    Shout across the land
    This is paradise
    Won't you take my hand
    Heaven's garden
    Made by God for man
    This is paradise
    Child of mine, take my hand
    Oh, take my hand
