Zabibe

Zabibe (also transliterated Zabibi, Zabiba, Zabibah) was a queen of Qedar who reigned for five years between 738 and 733 BC. She was a vassal of Tiglath-Pileser III, king of Assyria, and is mentioned in the Annals of Tiglath-Pileser III among a list of monarchs who paid tribute to the king in 738 BC. The title accorded her is queen of the Aribi (Arabs). Israel Eph'al argues that, until the time of Assurbanipal, the title "queen of the Arabs" in Assyrian manuscripts was a general one accorded to leaders of the nomadic tribes of the Syrian desert. So, he infers that Zabibe would have been properly titled "queen of the Qidri" (Qedarites). Zabībah is an ancient Arabic name, likely derived from zabīb, meaning "raisin". She was succeeded by another queen, Samsi, who also reigned for five years.

    Seed

    by: Xp8

    Within each seed there is a flower
    Within each death a new power
    A new life a new beginning
    When you lose I'm winning
    Lost and found, no admission
    Closeness means submission
    You had reasons, I had dreams.
    We live with demons, or so it seems.
    Within each seed there is a flower
    Within each death a new power
    A new life a new beginning
    When you lose I'm winning
    Lost and found violent mind
    Remote control drives you blind
    Be my chaos overdrive
    Technology, is a sacrifice
    Within each seed there is a flower
    Within each death a new power
    A new life a new beginning
    When you lose I'm winning
    Within each death big or small
    Someone gives and I take it all
    So submit you know it's right
    Sexuality pay the price
    A driven storm kills your genes
    No resurrection so it seems
    Be my chaos overdrive
