Arkaim (Russian: Аркаим) is an archaeological site situated in the Southern Urals steppe, 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) north-to-northwest of Amurskiy, and 2.3 km (1.4 mi) south-to-southeast of Alexandronvskiy, two villages in the Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, just to the north from the Kazakhstan border.
The site is generally dated to the 17th century BC. Earlier dates, up to the 20th century BC, have been proposed. It was a settlement of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture.
The site was discovered in 1987 by a team of Chelyabinsk scientists who were preparing the area to be flooded in order to create a reservoir, and examined in rescue excavations led by Gennadii Zdanovich. At first their findings were ignored by Soviet authorities, who planned to flood the site as they had flooded Sarkel earlier, but the attention attracted by news of the discovery forced the Soviet government to revoke its plans for flooding the area. It was designated a cultural reservation in 1991, and in May 2005 the site was visited by then-President Vladimir Putin.

I am an all powerful amazon warrior
Not just some sniveling girl
So no matter what I think I need
You know I can't possibly
Have a need in this world
Come and come for that sweet sweetness
I'll be your never ending vending machine
I could never need to be alone
Never need to be my own
As much as you need your queen
I know men are delicate
Origami creatures
Who need women to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
And I am tired of telling you why
And since when did this me me me
Become the be all and end all of me
Oh listen to you talk to me
Long time love has got to breathe, babe
You got to let it ebb and flow
If you want a ball to bounce
You gotta let it go
Just let it go
I know men are delicate
Origami creatures
Who need women to unfold them
Hold them when they cry
But I am tired of being your savior
These nights I just can't sleep
These walls are paper thin
I just can't take the heat
Something's trying to get in
Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
I ain't obeying no more
The way I'm bound to break
Took me down to my car
That's all that I can take
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to please you, trying to appease you
And ended up with ten thousand me's
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
I've been so many shapes
Since the day that I was born
From ugly duckling to a swan
And now a unicorn
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to compare, trying to ensnare you
Finally there was no one there
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
No, no, no
Oh how I miss the exchange
Of electricity
And now it feels so strange
To expose the real me
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
Just wanna behold myself
Well, I really mean it
I know I sold myself
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
The secret to love
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
I see you floating it constantly
You're making me feel like you and
I could be real
But then you're flipping the game
You walk away you turn your back baby
Stop treading on me
Baby
Coz I'm mystified
And you know I've tried
I just can't get through to you
What you gonna do
I don't know
What you gonna say
I ain't sure
Always the same
All the time
Every day
Played my mind
I can't keep wasting my time
On your game
Ain't no doubt about it
I've taken all that I can
I've given to you my all but you don't
Seem to respond
Baby
Oh I can't stand all this waiting
Cos my patience is fading pretty
Soon I'll be gone
Lets rectify it
You can't deny it
The way you feel for me
Tell me
I can't keep wasting my time on
Your game
No more
No more
No more wasted time
Playing your game
I've seen this all before
Time and time
No way
Coz I'm mystified
You know that I've tried
I just can't get through to you
I can't keep wasting my time on
Your game
No more
No more
No more wasted time
Playing your game
I've seen this all before
Time
Era como el camino que no tenía final
como la luz eterna de la luna o el sol
era el viento era brisa en mi camino
por qué no me dijo
se acabó el cariño
y no sigo más (Bis)
bendito Señor y ahora tengo que adorarla
y llevarla conmigo si vieran cómo estoy
otra pena estrena mi alma otra vez dolido
ya se le olvidó lo que prometió pero yo no olvido
vuelvo a ser aquel valiente soñador que quiere vivir
de su sueño alimentando su ilusión
es el mismo al fin
Por qué no me pudiste decir
por qué lo tuve yo que entender (Bis)
que ya no era la luz para mí
que otro camino había que emprender (Bis)
Aguas que van hacia el mar no regresen jamás
lleven mi dolor
cómo pudiste ignorar ese amor tan real
tan real como Dios
Yo, yo que tanto te quería mujer
tú, tú sabías que te adoraba y por qué (Bis)
El silencio que hoy dejas tú lo vas a vivir
igual que la montaña que sin río se quedó
un desierto sin oasis será tu vida
cuando crees termina
por siempre tu herida
vuelve a revivir (Bis)
Si eras como yo que tenía que golpear y golpear a la vida
era como yo con el mismo calor de dos vela' encendidas
sorprendido estoy qué hice esa pasión siendo tan divina
Ahora estoy como un valiente gladiador
luchando a vencer
él se juega su batalla y yo el amor
no quiero perder
Por qué no me pudiste decir
por qué lo tuve yo que entender (Bis)
que ya no era la luz para mí
que otro camino había que emprender (Bis)
Cómo quisiera atajar a las olas del mar
con mis manos por Dios
y en un instante lograr me vuelvas a adorar
y matar mi dolor
Yo que tanto te quería mujer
tú sabías que te adoraba y por qué (Bis)
When you are standing here with me
I can see everything in you
You are the light that feeds the soul oh yeah
Girl you are everything divine
In your love I will learn my wings to fly
In your heart I will make my home
Day or night I will come to you
Here's to our love
I do oh yeah oh girl I do
You are half that makes me whole
Girl you are marigolds in bloom
Baby you are the air I breathe oh yeah
Girl you are everything in me
In your love I will bring my dreams to life oh
From your heart I will never roam oh no
Until now my weakness is all I've known
But with your love
I am strong oh baby girl
I am stronger yeah
Oh yeah
Origami (or or or ori o or I ga mi)
Origami (or or or ori o or I)
You got a head full of paper, but baby nothing like origami
Shredded thoughts and make up won't make up for the missing piece of mind
I saw you look in the mirror, the scenery was suddenly boring
It's the end of an era
Forever is just a state of mind
You're last of your kind
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
You were blessed with precision so I took you to the beaches of Bali
It wasn't fate but decision, luck was choosing sides
Flip the page to a silver age
Life has treated you kindly
The price you pay is your vision
Collision is highly likely
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
