Miriam (Hebrew: מִרְיָם, Modern Miryam Tiberian Miryām ; Arabic: مريم (Maryam); see Miriam (given name)) was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the daughter of Amram and Jochebed. She appears first in the Book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible.
At her mother Jochebed's request, Miriam hid her baby brother Moses by the side of a river to evade the Pharaoh’s order that newborn Hebrew boys be killed. She watched as the Pharaoh’s daughter discovered the infant and decided to adopt him. Miriam then suggested that the princess take on a nurse for the child, and suggested Jochebed; as a result, Moses was raised to be familiar with his background as a Hebrew. (Exodus 2:1-10)
Miriam is called a prophetess, and is traditionally believed to have sung a brief victory song after Pharaoh’s army was drowned in the Red Sea (Exodus 15:20-21).
“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
Horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.”
It is considered by many that this poetic couplet is one of the oldest parts of the Biblical account.

Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You little idiot! If you die, what will Sylvie have died for?
Largo: Dead, eh? Or rather, I imagine it would be more exact to say it has ceased functioning. It IS a machine after all.::Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You bastard!::[fires railgun]::Largo: [catching the spike] Is this all your anger amounts to?
Largo: Human beings... how vulgar. For the crime of injuring me, a god, I demand, as atonement, death!
Lisa Vanette: Do you know about the Knight Sabers?::Sylia Stingray: Uh-huh, I've heard about them.::Lisa Vanette: Why do you suppose they fight boomers? I hear they take their clients for lots of money, but... I wonder... if they're supposed to be the good guys.::Sylia Stingray: What do you think?::Lisa Vanette: I don't know... But fighting boomers means taking on Genom, doesn't it? For a mere four people to take on such a large corporation is just... well... Genom makes a lot of things that make wars possible. But they also make boomers that are useful to society. And if the Knight Sabers actually defeated Genom, the world woudl come to a halt. What I want to know is, just what are the Knight Sabers trying to accomplish?::Sylia Stingray: Well... what do you think would happen if Genom were to take over the world?::Lisa Vanette: I guess the cities would be wall-to-wall boomers.::Sylia Stingray: In which case, there'd be no place for we humans, right? For every good thing Genom does for the world, it also does something bad. I don't think the Knight Sabers could keep fighting if they only did nice, clean jobs. The development of boomers for military applications also led to boomers that were useful to society. I think the world would be thrown into chaos if this balance wasn't carefully mantained. Maybe the Knight Sabers are a part of that balance. To continue such activities would require a great deal of money, too... or so I would imagine.
Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You'd better work out, or you won't be able to fit in your suit.::Nene Romanova: Ha! I contribute to the Knight Sabers with my good looks and amazing brain. I never want to be such an ape woman like you are. Besides, if you really are as hot as you say you are then how come I had to give you a speeding ticket?
Leon McNichol: One of these days, I'll uncover the truth about you.::Brian J. Mason: Be careful what you say, little puppy.::Leon McNichol: Even a little puppy can nibble an sleazebag like you to death!

Cuentan los viejos libros
que el hombre no vive 100 años
que el sufrimiento es su castigo
Y aunque Miriam aun no sabe andar
sus ojos ya reflejan toda la ira
de su verdad
Y al llegar a los seis Miriam no siente nada
cuando su padre olvida su condición
y se refugia en su almohada
Miriam no siente nada
Miriam no sabe decir no
Miriam esta asustada
pero que larga es la vida si es triste y el tiempo se para
y no hay ni un rincón dónde esconder al menos la cara
y no hay ni un hombro dónde poder reposar la cabeza
siempre te ahogas en el mismo mar de tristeza
Escribe unos versos pidiendo ayuda
pero que no los lee nadie
todos tratan de esconderse
y aunque ahora todos te llamen delincuente
seis atracos ya es bastante
yo me muero por verte
Ya no sientes placer
ningun hombre es suficiente
aunque yo quiera abrazarte
navegar contracorriente de tu sangre infectada
por una aguja que te comprende
que no te hace pensar en nada
y que te lleva hasta la muerte
Pero que larga es la vida si es triste y el tiempo se para
y no hay ni un rincón dónde esconder al menos la cara
y no hay ni un hombro dónde poder reposar la cabeza
siempre te ahogas en el mismo mar de tristezas
If here is where it all may end
Another place
That I have never seen
And now the time to start again
I realise
Tomorrow's where I've been
I stole across the sands of time
I'll never know
When life began to end
I've loved and lost, I crossed the line
No regrets
I'd do it all again
Chorus:
Forever my heart
Forever I dream
Forever my heart
Forever I am Zi ge la, zi ge la mandla
Dumela la lamandla weh
Zi ge la, zi ge la mandla
Dumela la lamandla weh
Hee yay
A vision of eternity
Like a dream
A fantasy of old
The keeper of my sanctity
Now it seems
The master of my soul
Chorus
Instrumental
Choruses out
miriam was kind of homely
kind of ugly in the face and hands
she had nice eyes
she had nice breasts and hands and feet but she was
small
and dark
and hurt
all over
she was buff from lifting things
secretly she played the tambourine
she had nice rhythm
she dreamed to play the drums but she was
poor
and overworked
and tired
miriam bussed to work each day
and hummed over cold soup at night
miriam worked for minimum wage
and hadn't had a boyfriend since that
drug addict fling
she had sold her television
saved her pennies for a weekly quart
of milk and lotto ticket
just in case her luck should change to
good
or slightly
less
than bad
miriam was kind of homely
kind of ugly in the face and hands
she had nice eyes
Look what Daddy bought her for her birthday
Well it's idling beside me at the light
And Sweet Sixteen is fussing in her rearview mirror
Making sure her hairdo looks alright
Well it's my favorite form of stoplight entertainment
Watch what happens when I try to make her smile
You can tell just by the way that she accelerates
She's trying to tell me that I'm not her style
Chorus
'Cause, She's Got Daddy's money
Daddy's Money
Daddy's Money holds her hand
She ain't got no back bone
But she's strong enough to stand
Daddy's money holds her hand
Well then I coast up right beside her at the next light
I can't help that there's amusement on my face
Because her car must cost twenty times what mine does
Now she's got to run the light to put me in my place
Chorus
Well I really didn't mean to hurt her feelings
There's a tender heart that hides behind the wealth.
Maybe if a baby gets too many shiny toys
She never finds the value in herself
Chorus
Curtain of black were inside the room
Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes
There was nothing bright in the entire mansion, no..no
Except for the candlelight...the light...and the fire that burned real slow
Oh Miriam...why did you have to go and die?
Curtains of black were inside the room
Abigail was not alone, there was someone else in here too
"Come closer my dear" said the shadow in the wheelchair
"Stand by the fireplace so I can better see your face"
Oh Miriam...why did you have to go and die?
The shadow could not believe the likeness in her face
It looked as if Miriam had come back from the grave
"I am Count De La Fey and you are"
"Abigail" she whispered and shirvered to the bone
"Can I.." he said "Can I call you Miriam?"
"Miriam or Abigail is fine
You can even call me Lucy for it is just a name"
He struggled out of the wheelchair
Since his fall many years ago
Now he could only walk by a cane, what a shame
"Don't move, stay where you are" and then he was ight behind her
Touching her lon black hair, he was breathing much harder now
Then he grabbed her head
In pain she screamed as he
Yanked out a lock of that beautiful hair, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
He quickly struggled across the floor to another cabinet
Behind the glass doors it said: "To My Beloved Dear"
It was then he started to comapre, and she saw the other hair
In his twisted mind she was back but why?
"I must retire my dear in order to prepare
You should do the same, tommorow an heir"
Miriam
That's such a pretty name
I'm gonna say it when
I'll make you cry
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
Now I'm not the jealous type
Never been the killing kind
But you know I know what you did
So don't put up a fight
Miriam
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice?
Miriam
Was it a game to you?
Was it a game to him?
Don't tell me lies
I know he said it's not your fault
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him for being too weak
Now I've saved the best for you
And I'm trying not to hurt you
'Cause you might not be that bad
But it takes a lot to make me go this mad
Oh Miriam
That's such a pretty name
And I'll keep saying it
Until you die
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
I take your life
