Tarxien (Maltese: Ħal Tarxien) is a town in the South Eastern Region of Malta. Its population stood at 8583 in March 2014.
The town is most notable for the Tarxien Temples, a megalithic temple complex which is among the oldest freestanding structures on Earth. It forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The etymology of the village may be a corruption of Tirix, meaning a large stone, similar to those used for the village's noted temples. The village motto is Tyrii Genure Coloni ("The Phoenicians created me").
Tarxien's population stood at 7,724 villagers in December 2008, which increased to 8,583 by March 2014. When the summer comes, the heat drives most of the citizens of Ħal Tarxien to the seaside villages of Malta, often bringing down the population of the village to about two-thirds of what it is during the colder months.
The oldest temple here is said to date back to about 3600 BCE. The temples feature various statues and reliefs of animals, including goats (for which Malta is noted) and pigs. Most notable of the statues found in the Temples are about 2.5 m in height, and are said to represent a sort of Mother Goddess. There are several of these statues scattered around the various temples, and are thought to represent fertility. There was also one of three small baked clay figurines in the form of what is said to be a priest that was found here.

You saw my light start to fade when my heart turned
cold
You saw the fright in my eyes when they raped my soul
I always tried to be good, but was misunderstood
I always tried to be good, I tried the best I could
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me die, mm-hmm
You saw me die
Chorus: Tonite, tonite
And I cry for the damned tonite
All right, it’s all right
To see with the eyes of a child
Tonite, tonite
And I cry for the damned tonite
All right, it’s all right
To see with the eyes of a child
I burned the past, burned it down, left it all behind
Was born again from the ashes that were on the ground
I’m healing well, getting strong with every passing day
But it’s so hard when the world wants you to go away
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me die, mm-hmm
You saw me die
Chorus:
Rain pours from my eyes
Rain pours from my eyes
Rain pours from my eyes
Rain pours from my eyes
Chorus:
See the shine in the eyes of the ones like me
Feel the strength as we march towards our destinies
We always tried to be good, but were misunderstood
We always knew that we differed, but we’re just as good
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me cryin’, mm-hmm
You saw me die, mm-hmm
