The Apennines or Apennine Mountains (/ˈæpənaɪn/; Greek: Ἀπέννινα Ὄρη, Latin: Appenninus or Apenninus Mons—a singular used in the plural;Italian: Appennini) are a mountain range consisting of parallel smaller chains extending c. 1,200 km (750 mi) along the length of peninsular Italy. In the northwest they join with the Ligurian Alps at Altare. In the southwest they end at Reggio di Calabria, the coastal city at the tip of the peninsula. Since about 2000 the Ministry of the Environment of Italy, following the recommendations of the Apennines Park of Europe Project, has been defining the Apennines System to include the mountains of north Sicily, for a total distance of 1,500 kilometres (930 mi). The system forms an arc enclosing the east side of the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas.
The etymology most frequently repeated, because of its semantic appropriateness, is that it derives from the Celtic Penn, "mountain, summit":A-penn-inus, which could have been assigned during the Celtic domination of north Italy in the 4th century BC or before. The name originally applied to the north Apennines. However, historical linguists have never found a derivation with which they are universally comfortable. Wilhelm Deecke said:"...its etymology is doubtful but some derive it from the Ligurian-Celtish Pen or Ben, which means mountain peak."
Dishearthened mind is holy shepherd
That leads human rase across deserted time
Depens upon denial and searching seed
Of silent days and restless nights
Your sickness obsecration
Guide you to the promised land
Mental slavery
Destroying the grail that has been won
In nightfall days invasion
Torments of hell are bleeding with disgrace
Never sensed deceit
And glory became the meaning of life
Which is cursed to satan
When your priest is sentenced to death
Never will it arise again
From embracing silence of hell
It is time for life and time for despair...
Restless sorrow of visions bells
Is a hunting beast for everyone
Who has sealed the sainted fate
Deadinside...religion create your slavery minds
Gravedust...relation discrown in the curse of time...
Restless sorrow of visions bells
Is a hunting beast for everyone
Who has sealed the tainted fate
Deadinside...religion create your slavery minds
