Auch (French pronunciation: [ɔʃ]; Gascon: Aush [awʃ]) is a commune in southwestern France. Located in the region of Midi-Pyrénées, it is the capital of the Gers department. Auch is the historical capital of Gascony.
Auch is a very ancient town. The name of Auch comes from the Aquitanian tribe that inhabited the area at the time of the Roman conquest in the 50s BC. The name of this tribe, as recorded by the Romans, was Ausci (pronounced [awski] in Latin), singular Auscus. Aquitanians spoke a language related to the old Basque language, and a striking fact is that the name Ausci seems related to the native name of the modern Basques, who call themselves Euskal (pronounced [euskal] in Basque).[citation needed]
At the time of the Roman conquest, the native name of Auch, as recorded by the Romans, was Elimberris. Elimberris is itself a variant of Iliberri, where Ili- comes from the Iberian word iltir' or iltur (the "t" is mute) meaning town, city, oppidum, a frequent prefix in names of Iberian cities, and which was probably borrowed into Basque and also Aquitanian (cf. modern Basque hiri, meaning "town"). In modern Basque there is also the word berri which means "new", so Iliberri is often interpreted as meaning "new oppidum" (based on the fact that Aquitanian and old Basque are related). However, this interpretation should be taken with caution. In the south of Spain, near Granada, an area far away from the Basque homeland, there was an Iberian city whose name the Romans also recorded as Iliberi, and here it seems the name recorded by the Romans is the phonetic transcription of Iberian Ilbirir, which comes from the Iberian stem ilbi- (meaning unknown), and not at all from an hypothetical il(t)i- (town) and Basque berri.

Genres: Crime,Buildings burning, blazing in the night
Searchlight sweeping, lazer beams of light
Desolation, smoke has filled the sky
Siren wailing, who can hear my cry?
So the darkness leaves me never
And the grinding wheels are turning ever
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I was young I was the golden son,
People said I was the chosen one
And I knew I must walk like a man
Never fail, and do the best I can
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
I believe that God is love, and that's enough (I believe that God is love)
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, (I will stand or I'll fall)
When I face that verdict today (It's really not the End of the World)
