The ankle joint is formed where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle, or talocrural joint, is a synovial hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower limb with the proximal end of the talus bone in the foot. The articulation between the tibia and the talus bears more weight than between the smaller fibula and the talus.
The term ankle is used to describe structures in the region of the ankle joint proper.
The word ankle or ancle is common, in various forms, to Germanic languages, probably connected in origin with the Latin "angulus", or Greek "αγκυλος", meaning bent.
It has been suggested that dexterous control of toes has been lost in favour of a more precise voluntary control of the ankle joint.
The boney architecture of the ankle consists of three bones: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. The articular surface of the tibia is referred to as the plafond. The medial malleolus is a boney process extending distally off the medial tibia. The distal-most aspect of the fibula is called the lateral malleolus. Together, the malleoli, along with their supporting ligaments, stabilize the talus underneath the tibia. The boney arch formed by the tibial plafond and the two malleoli is referred to as the ankle "mortise." The joint surface of all bones in the ankle are covered with articular cartilage.
Even now in heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Does our ruin benefit to earth?
Does it help the grass to grow?
The sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you'd passed through this night?
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Where you're going you're not coming back from
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
This great evil
Where's it come from?
Had still the end of the world?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known
Run, run, run
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Are you righteous?
Kind?
Does your confidence lie in this?
Are you loved by all?
Do you imagine your suffering will be any less
because you loved goodness and truth?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
