The term caliphate, "dominion of a caliph ('successor')" (from the Arabic خلافة or khilāfa, Turkish: Hilafet), refers to the first system of government established in Islam and represented the leaders unity of the Muslim Ummah (community)[clarification needed]. In theory, it is an aristocratic–constitutional republic (the Constitution being the Constitution of Medina), which means that the head of state, the Caliph, and other officials are representatives of the people and of Islam and must govern according to constitutional and religious law, or Sharia. In its early days, it resembled elements of direct democracy (see shura) and an elective monarchy.
It was initially led by Muhammad's disciples as a continuation of the leaders and religious system the prophet established, known as the 'Rashidun caliphates'. A "caliphate" is also a state which implements such a governmental system.
Sunni Islam stipulates that the head of state, the caliph, should be selected by Shura – elected by Muslims or their representatives. Followers of Shia Islam believe the caliph should be an imam chosen by God from the Ahl al-Bayt (Muhammad's purified progeny). After the Rashidun period until 1924, caliphates, sometimes two at a single time, real and illusory, were ruled by dynasties. The first dynasty was the Umayyad. This was followed by the Abbasid, the Fatimid (not recognized by others outside Fatimid domain), and finally the Ottoman Dynasty.
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and light
Dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went into a laundry to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "I got no money", he said, "That ain't necessary"
We set out that night for the cold in the North
I gave him my blanket and he gave me his word
I said, "Where are we goin'?", he said "We'd be back by the fourth"
I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard"
I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
How she told me that one day we would meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can't remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids, all embedded in ice
He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on
I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had
When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly
When I took up his offer I musta been mad
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
She said, "Where ya been?", I said, "No place special"
She said, "You look different", I said, "Well, I guess"
She said, "You been gone", I said,"That's only natural"
She said, "You gonna stay", I said, "If you want me to, yes"
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain

His time there so long
His fingers trace the endless walls he knew so well
And there the breaths were short and hard and thick with salt
And in this place he always knew he'd awake alone
Hands clutch in panic
In this place we built of sand homes that caved
The walls were weak with salty tears
Through the cracks in these walls he saw the sun
The sun dripped through the cracks and died
Shadows managed to betray
Like liquid was the sadness
Until into the light he stepped
In this truth he knew himself to be
From sinking sands he stepped into lights embrace
Come down on me, my sweet angel
Poison milk from that withering breast
Come down on me, my sweet angel
Poison milk from that withering breast
Your mask is drifting
See what writhes beneath
Porcelain grin is cracking, incest to uncoil
Your laugh spreads yawning, black hole formation
Drown and the first real breath takes hold
Washed in a chill so peaceful, sink further
Hold his hand and crush it
The depth of the chasm is infinite
Discover bliss and serenity in drowning
This is mosquito control I'm on the
stinging end your tounge is spilling pins
a vector of the secret disease your voice
like a rusted plane in a rusted sky your
beak pierces me in the back of my neck your
skin erupts my skin into a rash this is
mosquito control I'm on the stinging end
I'm on the stinging end
Mosquito control life under the swatter
(never turn your back, never close your eyes)
Pulling wings tight strip to paralyze mosquito
control breed in stagnant warmth
Mating of the swarm mating of the filth
(blodd for breeds dripping poisoned mouths)
Thin the swarm population controlling stingers
suck you sry digging needle deep
Leaving poison itch digging mosquito control
population control exterminate the swarm on
wings and needles
Suck me dry Bleed me dry
Love flows fears no window minds time oceanic
Dissolve me
His own light, now it's gone
The thirst came on
And it come on in waves
He would dream of cells swollen with water
Blank memory washed away, swallowed whole through eyes and teeth
I can't see eyes swelled with stings stings
I can't breathe lungs filled with the bitter
venom the nest is collapsing upon itself
This isnt over in fact it's just begun hive
desgtruction imminet cover your face and run
Lies are flling fall from wings the walls are
seething seething with disease. The drone is
deafening from the malcontent swarm lies from
wings are falling blood in rivers runs lied
from wings fall hive destruction
Drawn in
Kneeling, scraping, praying
Her lips glisten
Anticipate
Glisten
Fall into
The burning noise and sting
Her jaws dripping
Sockets glowing
Glisten
That reach hasn't reached me
Her machine has reached me
(She's) Waiting for me to give in
Waiting for me to cease
Hive been fed
Fill my soul
One way in
Fill my soul, fill my soul
I been high
Still can't see
Devastated
Come find
Pleasuring arm
Tempted to bleed
Hollowing
Dares my soul
I been high
Still can't see
Devastated
Come find
Our inventions split their cocoon
And the whir of wings was deafening
Rain down and bring
A gentle time
[partial word version]
Minus
It's the minus times
Minus times
Bitter serum and sting rays
Breathe in water through the punctured throat
Scars like rope
Cold to the touch
Crash is the wish
Shards in our eyes
Hands around the throat
Caffeine in my veins
Coals from your mouth
Blisters on your tongue
The divine mother stumbles
Cancer wrapped around her heart
The eyes of gods kept
Infect fingers pry open the clearest cages
Sickness has been made
Father and sons
Stoic fire
Sisters tears protect
There is no fear
The eyes of god kept
Measures have been taken
Wipe clean my face
Rip clear my heart
Death must seem so distant
That reach has not reached me:
Instrumental
A towering emission
Admit the truth
Become the signal
Collapse the veins
Crush the heart
Snap the tendons
Dissolve the bones
Flood the brain
Burn the skin
Pierce the lungs
Collapse the body
Stars now beneath our feet
We've known the terror and still not stopped
Swarm down and forgive me
Rain down and forgive us
[partial word version]
Doors to fire
Camoflagued by fire
Shine to earth
Remit
Remit the signal
The flood is coming down
I can't hold it back
I can't see her
I can't even breathe
Even breathe
Breathe
The individual
Will drifts into spave
And the signal
Fills it's void
Void
Black hole
The eyes of greater size
Than all the oceans
Do you ever get that feeling that you're sinking
I do
[remix by Justin K. Broadrick]
The flood is coming down
I can't stop it
I can't hold it back
I can't see her
I can't even breathe
Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare
On the edge with eyes rolled back in the waves we calling him
As he teetered on the edge
The waves were calling him
He had seen it, felt it's might, bent under
Washing away
He thinks of you
Everything slows
Lights flashing through
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
This is what he'd always known
The promise of greater beyond the water's final horizon
Swarm relocation reload and bein I can't go on
And the water takes hold
Fills his lungs and crushes his body
Dust floats through sun in water
As you draw close
Fall to me
He sees like his never seen before
I will carry you
True and Free
And the water carries him away
Now that you are here
You'll swim with me
Soon he ceases to be at all
I am clutching you
True
He sees like he's never seen before
He is light in water
( .... all in all in, all in a day .... )
( ... a day it changes everything ...)
In this secret way
He knew you first
And from those lips, a seed
Your mouth dropped open
Darkness fell out
Kept close in skin
Kept close in blood
And in he was
And from those lips, a seed
This is the gift he recieved
Twisted roots kept warm
Rape she was and ready for the death
Alguién buscas que te haga felíz
tu casa cuide cuando no estes aqui
te pones cursi y me miras a mi
te pones triste cuando vuelvo a decir
que
No, no soy yo
No, no soy yo
Que flores traiga a tu despertar
que deje todo cuando me has de llamar
ser tu trapecio y tu red cuando caes
ser tu esclavo y también tu auto car
Que me disfrace de payaso también
tu vino, tu pan, tu metro y tu tren
darme la espalda y que te suplique ven
que sea tu amante y tu gato también
Te necesito junto a mí
te necesito y no estas aquí
te necesito para vivir
tenecesito para reir
Yo te quiero frente a mi
yo quiero tus manos sentir
yo quiero tus labios mojar
yo quiero tu cuerpo tocar
Deseo ver tus ojos
por mi puerta asomar
deseo tus pies descalzos
por micama pasar
te deseo mujer
pues te das sin condiciones
y no exiges más
Te deseo junto a mi
Recuerdo tus palabras de consuelo
cuando todo iva mal
recuerdo tantas noches de intimidad
recuerdo tus ojos al llorar
cuando me tuve que marchar
te deseo junto a mi
Yo te quiero junto a mi
Sigue, sigue blanca estrella
siempre te hallaré más bella
sin dejar ninguna huella
vuelas
Hoy vengo con mi dolor
ya núnca astro del amor
me amara con todo el corazón
corazón.
Tu cruzas por el cielo
yo cruzo por este suelo
tu luz necesito
tanto como a ella
Has escuchado el canto
de mi pasión
alumbra el llanto
que brota del corazón
corazón
Dulce y cariñosa
en otro sus ojos fijó
tendrá su boca amorosa
y olvidará nuestra rosa.
guiame estrella
dime estrella
donde esta ella
Has dejado en agonia
a mi alma ilusionada
donde estas que ya no
escucho de tus labios
el murmullo de enamorada
Ven que quiero
satisfecho
estrecharte
contra mi pecho
sigue, sigue
blanca estrella
sigue y hallaras
la más bella
dime
dime donde esta
ella
Saber donde estas
y cómo estas quisiera
si te acordaras hoy de mi
fuiste el primer amor
mi vida entera
ya nunca podré
olvidarme de ti
Debo hacerte
una confeción sincera
yo sigo esperandote
como ayer
Tan pequeña es
tan frágil es
sin ti, lo sé
yo ya no puedo vivir
Cada noche sueño que tu estas conmigo
y vuelvo a sentir
tu voz y tu piel
Siento que no encontraré
una mujer como tu otra vez
frágil como tu
Ambos estamos tristes al anochecer
anque los dos estemos juntos
nada creo que sea igual
por dentro estamos lejos, lo ves
a gran distancia de aquí
no quiero lastimarte
no quiero verte llorar
porque rosas con espinas son
como cada noche su final
como un pájaro canta
esa triste canción
rosas con espinas son
Escuché esa canción en el radio
y escuche al locutor hablar
cuando algo viene facil se va
pero quiero amarte lo sabes
como nunca lo he podido hacer
sé que voy a extrañarte ahora
tengo que partir porque sé que
rosas con espinas son
como cada noche su final
como un pájaro canta
esa triste canción
rosas con espinas son
Y aunque no pueda comprender
puedo sentir todavia el dolor
nada más puedo decir porque ahora
porque ahora me iré
Rosas con espinas son
Preguntas donde estoy
dime a dode voy
cuando no hay nada que hacer
dices que estoy loco
que me patina el coco
que hago todo al revez
Solitario, solitario
pero tengo Rock n' Roll
solitario
Siempre canto solo
pero estoy contento
sin dinero a mis pies
todo lo que tengo
es porque trabajo
nada del cielo cayó
Solitario, solitario
pero tengo Rock n' Roll
Solitario
Quieres que me adapte
quieres que me arrastre
y hacerte así felíz
prefiero morir
morirme ya de viejo
antes de ceder a tí
Que rico tiempo, solitario
escuchando buen Rock
Zep, Doors, Aerosmith,
Z.Z. Top, Who
Solitario, solitario
solitario, solitario
Si tu te vas
si tu te vas
te llevas mi vida
todo termina
si tu te vas
Abrazame más
abrazame más
toma mis manos
mira mis ojos
abrazame más
Si ahora te vas
y no lo puedo evitar
que la vida siga igual
no lo puedo imaginar
si ahora te vas
cuando pregunten por ti
que voy a decir
mentiras piadosas
respuestas tontas
si preguntan por ti
Adios pronto partirá
el autobus que te llevará
ya no te tendré
cuando no estes
para comer
ni al atardecer
ni al anochecer
ni al amanecer
Tu ausencia será
tu ausencia será
mi gran soledad
mi triste despertar
tu ausencia será
Te recordaré
te recordaré
cuando el viento sople
cuando todo lo olvide
te recordaré
Our Skin Worn Thin
Our Bones Exposed
Life Reduced to Ticks
From Forest Caves and azure Skies
We Chrashed upon this Earth
The Years, they passed and so did we
It is here
That vice indulged
Bleeds the living
Of their trust
And now the
Chosen children play
Never to
Lay rest
Hand of the host
Extended from his fingers
Dangles scented flesh
Bodies offered spun
From infant minds
Perfect in their
Empty conception
To be devoured
By my lustful heart
I am commanded
"do as thou wilt"
Through the halls I am lead
Following I am lead
"writhe and gnaw each other's flesh"
He lies uncovered
This ancient man
Of bristle and bone
Hoary and unwashed
His lonely soul
Fills the room
Our reverie
Lays broken on the floor
Cast him out into the throngs
Now our blood
Travels though the
veins of our
history
It bursts forth them
Boiling black
clouds from the wrists of kings
The shadow
Lengthens as
time draws on its tendrils
Creep into mythic cracks
blending with the light of day
We see it
Now Before us
But even so we cannot
Read the lies between the lines
Bring them nothing
They have
Made it's way
Always Object
Always Subject
Can You see Us Are we there?
Are we there...
Can You see Me? We are watching
We are watching...
You are fading
In the Daylight... Fading...
Always upon you, Light never ceases
Lost from Yourself, Light never ceases
Thousands of Eyes, Gaze never ceases
If only I could
Clear my eyes
Then I might breathe once more
Then I might breathe again
Old sun and stars,
And oceans below me
Gathered scribes over
Jaggad shards, under foot
Old sun and stars,
And oceans below me
Gathered scribes over
Jaggad shards, under foot
To slash to the sound
How many sit on woe or peril?
How many walk on their own?
Into the truth
Let myself burn
Now it's written
He and I
Seek the silent
Halfway through
Beneath
Traveling in
The woven
Branches of
Another world
Got to hall ending
Step from the living trees
My trial now
Let come to pass
He and I
On a silent path
This is
The way we know
We go on
This is the hope
Woven branches
Falling
Take our weights
I see this
Down this way
A place
So it comes to pass
We go our separate ways
A solitary course
To a place of rest
Passing through the
Golden grey
This is the way
The only way
On a course
Bring them to
We four, bound by blood
Standing in the crossroads
On the underside of the world
Waiting our turn
Here we see
Coiled serpent
Black and baking
In the sun
Stone is flung
Serpent wakens
Arrow of poison
Pierces our hearts
Teeth sink into tender flesh
Lightning strikes, too fast to see
We seek succor for the stricken
Pleas met with spiteful laughs
Slow advance, not to stir the poison
Its course fast and merciless
Merciless, merciless
In vast halls, buried in hurried hordes
And still your voice is heard
Heard
And still we are shaken
Shaken
Your voice...Still here
And so you say unto all
"I am all, we are one
Go forth and bring them down"
War is waged, blood is spilled
Not in rivers, but in drops
Heaven's gate is in my hand
The great stone walls
Rise above our heads,
Cold and sad
Pale light, a dusty veil
The sun makes its way in
Destitute, weak
You're at my side again
Faithful guide unfailing,
Here we stand among the others
The living among the dead
Veins still flowing full
Lungs filled with white light
Push forward
Lifeless bodies swept aside
They are on us
Cast a net of armor
Over our heads
Hide our life
Lest it be lifted from us
We must leave this place
Of deathly decay
It's cold snowing
Blue light
Dusk settles
A fire burns with failing light
Against the growing darkness
Bending over the dying flames
You were with me then as always
Through the fluttering veil of frozen blue
A hooded figure cuts its path
To cleave the night in two
Pull its outer husk from its body
And the rest escapes
And there upon the ground
The remnants of our struggle
He is not mad
His thought is clearer than
The saner man
For in her he saw
Beauty overflowing
Through the tattered clothes
She was his queen
She is a queen
In dreams he
Wanders the dark
I've arrived city of lucid dreams
Before me a building
Looms caked in inky grime
The act unknown
Actor in sleep
Here I enter, and here I see
The circle and bones made in haste
Winds to anoint the faithful
Amorphous specter turns
From old to new
Rests in faith beside me
We wait for the quiet fire
To be born and there it is
Embodied by a boy
His voice small and grey
Whispers smoke to the chosen
Upon our heads he places crowns
Sewn with hiss and higher tones
The boy presses whispers into her
Wait for me dead
When light hits floor
When our cancer
Has swept her away
We are the sleepers
Black sun heralds new dawn
It's all we know
Black holes and static eyes
We are the sleepers
Swarm contained in her tower
We mesh our flesh and bone
With her mechanical mind
We are the sleepers
We are dead and reborn
