Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards.
The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, for example in web services.
Many application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed for software developers to use to process XML data, and several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages.
As of 2009[update], hundreds of XML-based languages have been developed, including RSS, Atom, SOAP, and XHTML. XML-based formats have become the default for many office-productivity tools, including Microsoft Office (Office Open XML), OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice (OpenDocument), and Apple's iWork. XML has also been employed as the base language for communication protocols, such as XMPP.
The Basics ( /ˈbæzɪtʃ/ BAZZ-ich) are a three-piece band from Melbourne, Australia, formed by Wally De Backer and Kris Schroeder in 2002. Their style has been described as anything from 'indie-pop' to 'rock'n'roll' to 'pop-rock', though their records show they span a wide range of genres, including reggae, ska, country, and electro-pop. They are "recognised as one of Australia's hardest-working bands".
With close to 1000 shows in their ten-year career, their live performances are well-known for their sense of humour and energy.
The Basics were formed after Kris met Wally at a party in Melbourne. The event was to see off the young aspiring producer, who was about to depart for Los Angeles, and together with a number of musician friends, the two jammed on some blues-rock standards. Later that night, they bonded over a mutual love of The Beatles, 70s and 80s cartoon theme songs and old Sierra adventure games.
Initially, they played around Melbourne as an acoustic guitar/drums combo, starting at The Opposition in Frankston and the House of Fools in Footscray, where in late 2002 they met Michael Hubbard and later invited him to join them on electric guitar. Though lacking any real experience with the instrument, Kris willingly purchased his first bass guitar, and the trio was born. During this time, the group start performing songs with more complicated three-part harmony.
Underneath the world built by reason
Lay the foundations of a different
Perception
Putting light on a brand new horizon
Remodeling our own
Life's conception
Opening views of another dimension
Revealing a home of
Outstanding proportions
Radiating from one's own reflection
Energy's
Nucleus height density concentration
Feeling incomplete before the meeting
While the rest of me wants to gather
Sociability, sensibility
Clear out charm of world illusions
Philanthropy to felicity, so why can't we live with one another
Dissolved,
Diluted, restored and regrouped
Waiting for crystallization
Reunion of
Different principles
Leading to cohesion and different conclusions
Fundamental
And perennial
The law of movement intersideral
One small
Step, one giant step,
Independent and connected
Thought-
Omnipotence giving the access
To your own soul, to other galaxies
At
Your own depth, reality
Subject to hazard
Susceptibility
Emotionally, physically
Bound and tied
Understanding before standing
Always digging your views a
Little deeper
Vision and dream accorded with one another
Giving an answer to all you wonder
Sun on your soul is significant to your
Own environment
See through the night
With an open mind
Catch up whit the light, your way you'll find
Feeling
Incomplete before the meeting
While the rest of me wants to gather
Sociability, sensibility
Clear out charm of world illusions
Philanthropy
To felicity, so why can't we live with one another
Dissolved, diluted,
Restored and regrouped
Waiting for crystallization
Reunion of different
Principles leading to cohesion and different conclusions
Two alone in a sack of skin
Playing the role of slave master of war
That is my lot
Separated but still united
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh
That is my hell
Penitent rebel
Riding the ether or groveling in the mud
I know how little is the value of that which has a price
Rebellion!
Instinct is not the path of man
Rebellion!
Renunciation is not the divine way
Two alone in a sack of skin
Playing the role of slave master of war
That is my lot
Separated but still united
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh
Captured and tortured
I don`t want this, I want to leave
How can one go when one has already arrived?
Flight is an illusion
And even triumph is bitter
When only the battle is counted
I know how little is the value of that which has a price
Rebellion!
Instinct is not the path of man
Rebellion!
Renunciation is not the divine way
On the road, in the air
Across the sea, across the land
Going
Everywhere, meeting everyone
Around the globe, around your head
Across
Your soul, all through your brain
Meeting everyone, going everywhere...
Blessed are the travelers, those who belong nowhere...
On the road again
Traveling further than my thoughts can go...
On the road again
Searching,
Finding
Forgetting, remembering
How it goes...
Different cultures,
Different traditions
Different languages, different approaches
Of the
World...
World within our eyes, confronted by the outside...
On the road
Again
Far - of destination, constant vacation...
On the road again
Searching, finding
Forgetting, remembering
How it goes...
Introspective
Trip
Initiative voyages
All along...
On the road, in the air
Across the
Sea, across the land
Going everywhere, meeting everyone
Around the globe,
Around your head
Across your soul, all through your brain
Meeting
Everyone, going everywhere...

narration:
Tired and submissive
Lying down on the black altar
She waits passive and anguished
A frost silence glides into the assembly
priest reflection:
Only my invocation resounds in the heads of the followers
priest with the crowd:
- Glory to you Ounis
- Praise be to Ounis
the priest:
- So her blood may quench your thirst
- So her meat may appease your hunger
- For you we'll eat the red crown
- For you we'll lick the green crown
priest with the crowd:
- Glory to you Ounis
- Praise be to Ounis
narration:
The blade penetrates deeply in the young flesh
All together copulate with the bloody wounds
the priest:
Here's the theatre of our dreams
- This is the beauty of absurdity
priest with the crowd:
Born from the depth of my brain
Born in the night of the times
Born by the nothingness
Born by bloody massacres
Born by massive executions
Born by millions of deaths
Ancestral prediction
Medieval prophecy
Secular institution
In eternal blasphemy
Morbid metal
Born by malefic oaths
Born by secret conspirations
Born by infame rituals
Morbid metal
I am the envoy of the son of the dawn
A slave to the star of the morning
I am here to prepare the coming of our lord
[Instrumental]
Tonight, she takes her time
Slowly, she lays down
Open her legs, as we spread our wings
Across the timeless space
She will remind the Queen of the world
'Till her newborn child grows
Giving her understanding
Of her reason, reason to be
She dances with herself
"Unconscious of her beauty
No one told her
Never heard about purity
No one touched her"
And I sing this song
For all the dead promises
All the fallen souls
And those who laughed at them
And I sing this song
To all the bleeding hearts
My ode to the night
Awaiting the sun
Instrumental
Diamonds drops covering your breasts
Diamonds drop covering your sex
Rain to river, sparkling matter
Flowing, falling
Rain to river, always
Richer
Holding, expanding
Moving on, dancing 'round
Carried by the
Wind of change
In the cadence of romace bringing you another chance
Moving on, dancing 'round
Carried by the wind of change
On and on life goes on, 'till somebody new will come...
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
The sound of galaxies playing the music of our lives
The notes we strike
Reasoned in time and space
Silent symphony waiting to be heard
Musical
Aura holding unseen worlds...
The sound of galaxies playing the music of our lives
The numbers we
Married, equations formulas
A mute language of the universe
Mathematical
Resonance the thought of matter...
Instrumental
Reversed time climb up the side of mystery
holding tight the key to nowhereland the long time promise
at the beginning
the origin
aren't we supposed to be bound
aren't we prepared to re-cloned
the universe we imagine
the memory we left behind
the time we drain the time we kill
what's the need for a better life tell me
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who stay
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who pray here
spend a day to wonder
have a night to remember
beyond the pain that each day gives
rising the joy that you perceive
through blurry thoughts you do conceive
a strong passion that won't deceive
the force you own needs no shelter
nowhere should be the place that you fear
nowhere should be the place that you fear
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who stay
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who pray here
Instrumental
You're the links that you move
You shine from the light that you shed...
No limits
Landing in the air
Traveling upstairs
Staying on the surface
Living on my own trace
Paint the night with fluo rays
Give the colours
Of our days
Feel the beat's rhythmic sound
Hear the music to which we're
Bound
The move of your mouth
Speak the language of my will
Rope formed
By the notes sealing the dance of our sex
Pictures flashing in our minds
There we search and here we find
And we glow and we shine
We feel good,
We feel fine...
Pleasure in pain
Disire of mortification
To achieve the extreme
To know the ultimate
To be a slave for a moment
The body offered up to cruelty
To the lash which whips on the skin
Which slashes the flesh, lacerates the back
To feel the blood, thich and warm
Flow over my wounds
Flagellation ...
To thrust aside the limits
To say "yes" to death
Without fear, without remorse
To give up oneself to torture
Punishment and reward
The whip is ambiguous
It distills vice
In a perverse refinement
So it's now the moment
We were all waiting for
So that is the reason
We're all gathered here
All those years looking at the sky
For a sign
All those eyes gleaming in the night
To lead the way
Remember the gate you got in
Do not forget the place you came from
Soul's migration
To the land of milk and honey
Trust your visions
Exodus
Exit - the world
Enter - the desert
Don't look back to your burning house
Don't need it anymore Ñcause we're going home
Mercury flows around the desert sand
As astral blood runs into God's veins
Remember the gate you got in
Do not forget the place you came from
Exodus
Exit - the world
Enter - the desert
Don't look back to your burning house
Don't need it anymore Ñcause we're going home
Mercury flows around the desert sand
Prisoner of my dreams
Slave to my illusions
Paralysed by the anguish of a new day
Tormented by the desire of glory
The thirst for power
I'm refuging into the pentagram
Where I fear nobody
I dominate my enemies
I lead my friends
All belongs to me, body and soul
Prisoner of my dreams
Slave to my illusions
Paralysed by the anguish of a new day
Tormented by the desire of glory
The thirst for power
I'm retreating into the pentagram
Where I become possessor of your lives
Dictator of your thoughts
Master of your acts
The pentagram is my invincible weapon...
Bodies consecrated to the earth
Spirit to the light...
Life can't be infinite
Only pain is eternal
Cry for the ruined time
You've lost to understand,
The meaning of life will stay a mystery
But you now have the answers about death
Instrumental
Instrumental
Life, where suffering is the only satisfaction
Sadness of my nights without sleep
Anguish to be alone against all
Ritual of blood, where a human being
Gives his life for mine
Spills his blood for mine
Now I will be them and they will be mine
And we'll be one above your god
Blood ritual / Purification by the blood
Blood ritual / Total consecration
My spirit has dived into the infernal storm of evil
My soul is forever tormented
Take advantage of this jouvencal fluid
Deliver your soul from claws of ignorance
- Death is the only way to escape the misery of life
- Death is the only way to reach the supreme power
The caress of he blade on his skin
Is waking up my old cruel dreams
Look the so coveted liquid going out of his body
Look the sacred fluid spilling out of his wounds
Let your mind be impregnated
Oh purificator fire, that burns in me
Rekindle my courage, gife me your force
Blow, northerly wind, come, wind of death
Storms, hurricanes, be at my side
By water, by air, by fire, by earth
Oh purificator water, essence of life
Mirror of time, drown the lies
Earth, mother's man
Dissembowelled by your sons
From your blood of fire
Will rise the chaos
By water, by air
Here or there, above or below
it's always the same force which prevails
One must be unreal and surreal
to rise above the fear of isolation
one must accept exclusion
becoming stronger to face fate
Day after day
stone after stone
from disillusion to disillusion
defeat to defeat
escaping death for another death
I've built a temple within myself
where on my knees I wait the day
Born under Saturn
déchirer les cieux
Born under Saturn
sur terre rappeler Dieu
There is but a little time and the road is still long
become who you are, deny who you know...
Day after day
stone after stone
from disillusion to disillusion
defeat to defeat
escaping death for another death
I've built a temple within myself
where on my knees I wait the day
Born under Saturn
déchirer les cieux
Born under Saturn
In the darkness of an endless night
At the dawn of eternal life
In the coldness of a land without sun
Our spirits dive in the world of silence
Farther into infinity
Beyond the nothingness
Atrocious vision of death
Indescribable horror of darkness
Desolation of absolute emptyness
Unbearable sensation of impotence
We're dazzled by total obscurity of the parallel world
Our senses are numb for our longest journey
- Master speak, we're listening!
- Father order, we'll obey!
We're all one
I've chosen the dark, I've chosen the night
I've lost hope of loving a day of life
The shades of night belong to me
I am at one with hell
Dead inside, I watch the time pass
I wait the coming of my day
My journeys are always within me
There where is found teh bottomless pit
Where, there in I plunge, always a little deeper
There, in that other world where only unity is harmony
Sheltered from the regard and rules of men
Ther colour is absent, light is black
Enemies of the sun, the phantoms of the shadows
Have taught me to delight in horror
Faces without eyes, and silent lips
Float in the immensity of empty space
A sweet melancholy fills my heart
Life as a whole seems absurd
Silence is so pure, so profound that it intoxicates
The emptiness, annihilates all
Instrumental
Each blashemy is another stone to the edifice
of your glory
I want to be the rock on which you'll build
your church
Am I the son you've been waiting for?
Am I the chosen one?
To be your Messiah on earth
And to sit at your left in hell
I've always ignored the doubt
Answers are in the questions
Show me the way to the bophomet's throne ...
Guide my hand, light my path
My mouth will speak with your words,
I'll make statements with your orders
I'll be the supreme insult
Which will forevermore soil teh image of god
I'll be your revenge, I'll be your victory
Guide my hand, light my path
Show me the way,
You know my friend
I've been walking on a really strange path lately
I'm so glad you were not there
to see my fall, to see me passing on
My wound so deep
my veins opened wide
letting flow my distress
letting flow my requests
Listen my friend
as no one wanted to hear I'm telling you now
So weak was my hope
so cold the world around
so strong the calls
my pain invited echoes to my pain
Anguish
coiled in the gut like a starving worm
Fallen, between...
I slide down the hole at the center of my soul
I've given up, I've given up, larvae rots
Low and high
Slow motion
We reason at the sound of a big band traveling
In time
Overwhelmed by all we've seen
Wealthy, healthy
Ready...
Above
As below
Surrounding a view
Above as below
The world is unreal...
Sweet
Violence
Rough tenderness
An ode to movement
Endless, uncontrolled
Caresses
Overwhelmed by all we've seen
Overwhelmed by all we've been
Wealthy, healthy
Ready...
Above as below
Surrounding a view
Above as
Below
The world is unreal...

[the priest:]
- Everything's ready
- Go and get me fresh meat
- We're thirsty for sacred beverage
- Hurry up! I can't wait anymore
[the assembly:]
- Here she is the promised virgin!
[narration:]
Her nude body plays with the unstable shadows
Her long hair hides half her breasts, she rises her head
Her eyes are shining with the gleam of the torches
[the priest:]
- Look deep in my eyes, you little bitch
- Look at your death, she smiles at you
[priest reflection:]
Death opens her arms to you
You tremble and your body is wet
You haven't to be scared, you'll be saved
You'll suffer, you'll die, you'll be free
[the priest:]
I wish to hear her weep
I wish to hear her cry
I wish to hear her yell
Of disgust... of fear... of pain
[the priest with the crowd:]
We gonna take care of you...
Instrumental
Stand in war or rest in peace...
Rage...rage
Got some rage to exorcise
Rage...rage
Got some rage to exorcise
No turning back and no way out
Nobody leaves without fight
Time is always a bit early
Victory precedes the Victor
The virtual war...for a concrete peace
Put...put your soldiers on the line
And you wish will be divine
Stand... stand and walk above the rest
No one but you can be the best
The virtual war...for a concrete peace
Rage...rage
Got some rage to exorcise
So much to see so much to hear
So much to give so much to get
Life is never more than you know
But it's sometimes more than you see
Something has to be cleaned
Before you bring your own dirt...Yeah!
Something has to be cleaned
Before you bring your own dirt...Destroy!
Rage...rage
Got some rage to exorcise
Rage...rage
Got some rage to exorcise
No turning back and no way out
Nobody leaves without fight
Time is always a bit early
Victory precedes the Victor
Silent screams sucking space out of a deserted place
Armies of wingless angels come crashing down
God's firework may entertain one side of his race
But surely those who die, are too, sons of his own
Bravery turns to slavery
War is the queen of inversion
Lion's heart to hyena's horde
Eagle's pride to vulture's prey
A blast lifts you in the air
Enter the Valkyrie's new ride
Thunder and lightning across your sky
Now join the Valkyrie's new ride...ride!
It takes more than a shout for a tyrant to get down
Face on the ground, dragged through the mud
He's still haunting the heart of Babylon
Bravery turns to slavery
War is the queen of inversion
Lion's heart to hyena's horde
Eagle's pride to vulture's prey
A blast lifts you in the air
Enter the Valkyrie's new ride
Thunder and lightning across your sky
Now join the Valkyrie's new ride...ride!...fly high!
(2x)
Action not reflection
Questioning ain't obeying
Questioning ain't obeying
A blast lifts you in the air
Enter the Valkyrie's new ride
Thunder and lightning across your sky
All that you've never seen now you can feel
All that has yet never been now is for real
What was behind is now right in front of me
I'm looking further than my eyes can see
All that you've never seen now you can feel
All that has yet never been now is for real
Where the will is strong there'll always be a way
The dream goes on forever and a day
Soul invictus - soul invictus
The Universe's pulsing right under my skin
I'm standing higher where the air is thin
No longer holding in we let it out
No more silent screams now we can shout
Where the will is strong there'll always be a way
The dream goes on forever and a day
Soul invictus - soul invictus
What was behind is now right in front of me
But I'm looking further than my eyes can see
Souls is growing - stretching endlessly
Why so many would have to pay
For just one man to stand his way?
Why so often no one denies
Primacy of one over others?
Is there not enough self-conciousness
In everyone to make him real?
Haven't we all inside of us
What makes a man worth being one?
How I wish that I could take you by the hand
Lead you through blurry views
And give you access to your own self
Between a caesar and nothing
There are plenty of ways to be
Life is full of differences
And so should be society
Hope is a fuel we get for free
While fear demands security
So why are those two always used
As if they were power tools?
How I wish that I could take you by the hand
Lead you through blurry views
And give you access to your own self
Sleeping with eyes wide open
While someone else is getting in charge
To lead the way in his own way
How I wish that I could take you by the hand
Lead you through blurry views
And give you access to your own self
How I wish that I could take you by the hand
Lead you through blurry views
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck...
Hey!
Hi hey!
Here we go again, here we go again
O Fortuna, stay around me
Be my lover eternally
O Gloria, in ecstasy
As my hands read your body
O Maria, honestly
Would you betray your family for me
We'll be one with everything
I'll make sure you get there
Before I come, before I join
And we grab the stars, capture the universe
All different but yet so the same
It's always new, it's always fresh
You nail me down, I take the blame
For god my soul, for you my flesh
We'll be one with everything
I'll make sure you get there
Before I come, before I join
Clashes of thoughts, of desires and hopes
lift you up, straight to the top of the world
It's amazing how good things can be when it goes, when it flows
With fluidity of energy in constant availability
All that glitters all that matters beyond rivalries
Amplified universality, transcending dualities
Body chemistry, linked spiritually
Right in time every time, synchronized all along
Destiny, tomorrow is today
Destiny, without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders...
Step in, break through, take the stairs to the stars
Stretch out your life, make it big, make it large
Feed the space in-between, fill it up, make it real
Hell you feel you're alive, you affirm your own will
It's been good all along and the best is to come
No fear, no doubt but the driving force to go on
Air's dry, we're wet, ain't seen nothing yet
Silence cried as we met, dig, dig our own depth
Destiny without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders...
Clashes of thoughts, of desires and hopes

It's amazing how good things can be when it goes, when it flows

Further on a long distant flight
Faster to a dream out of sight
I follow my prayer to the target of your heart
Your picture is in my mind and your mind is on my side
Further I am on my way
The sky is brighter, the stars are closer
My empire is made of fire
With desire, I'm burning away
My speech is flowing, my thoughts are cristal clear
The nadir of the real, the zenith of one dream
THe universe recreated at the heart of my heart
A vision is revealed on the screen of my mind
Further I am on my way
The sky is brighter, the stars are closer
My empire is made of fire
With desire, I'm burning away
Further on a distant flight
Faster to a dream out of sight
We strip down our souls to see the beauty of our all
No need to an end but a start to a brand new start
Further I am on my way
The sky is brighter, the stars are closer
My empire is made of fire
All that we shared, wasn't a lie
We'll never have to say goodbye
The taste of eternity
Is wired to our memory
Reaching the end of a broken line - while the road is still fine
Longing to stay a little longer - when our time is over
Hey!
Forever at human scale is still not immortality
Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years
Yeah, living for a thousand years
No what we shared wasn't a lie
My love for you will never die
Dreaming away the unbearable - landing before the crash
When the word turns black and purple - memory is hard cash
Hey!
Forever at human scale is still not immortality
Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years
Suddenly the wind is blowing, fresh air is coming and we're moving away
Our grief's balanced with our joy, we sow on new soil, today is a new day
Are you with me?
Hey!
Forever at human scale is still not immortality
Breaking doors of heaven and hell and living for a thousand years
As the sun gains its whole brightness
As the earth vibrated on a higher level
Bridge from sky to earth will consolidate
Life will avoid all punishments
The earth will shine
The earth will radiate
The sky will no more
The moon will turn on
We'll discovered our other face
We'll enter the dark side
We'll travel every people's mind
We'll understand the one we all where once
The dark side...the dark side...
No one will ever be judged
No one will ever be punished
Rebel angels fly while other people walk
Worshippers and other losers, victims of ignorance and naivety
Will remain prisoner of their carnal form
Paramount to every new start,
past is the fuel we'll burn to go on
fire in the head and peace in the heart
cores of our souls are ready to take on
Ave! Gloria! With you all around the world
Ave! Fortuna! The gold is calling for gold
On...yeah! On an ever rising goal...
reinforcing our plan multiplying the links
self-improvement, sempiternal growth
money's magnet diamonds and platinum
paving our roads and cementing the chinks
Tantamount to the art of climbing,
life is a trek that takes us higher
Panoramic view of understanding
Coalescence of spirit and matter
Ave! Gloria! With you all around the world
Ave! Fortuna! The gold is calling for gold
Isn't more a bit less on a different scale
add a step to the top and the top you've known
will come the bottom of a brand new stair
now marching on...yeah!
On...yeah! on an ever rising goal...
reinforcing our plan multiplying the links
self-improvement, sempiternal growth
money's magnet diamonds and platinum

Welcome To The Kingdom of The Dead
Here's Your Promised Reward
Looks On You To Close Again
The Great Vagina Of The Earth
I love the dead before they're cold,
Their blueing flesh for me to hold.
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing.
I love the dead before they rise,
No farewells, no goodbyes.
I never even knew your now-rotting face.
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave.
I have other uses for you, Darling.
I love the dead,
I love the dead,
I love the dead
I love the dead,
I love the dead,
I love the dead.
I love the dead,
I love the dead,
I love the dead.
I love the dead,
I love the dead,
I love the dead. yes I do
I love the dead,
I love the dead,
