Data ( /ˈdeɪtə/ DAY-tə, /ˈdætə/ DA-tə, or /ˈdɑːtə/ DAH-tə) are values of qualitative or quantitative variables, belonging to a set of items. Data in computing (or data processing) are often represented by a combination of items organized in rows and multiple variables organized in columns. Data are typically the results of measurements and can be visualised using graphs or images. Data as an abstract concept can be viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and then knowledge are derived. Raw data, i.e., unprocessed data, refers to a collection of numbers, characters and is a relative term; data processing commonly occurs by stages, and the "processed data" from one stage may be considered the "raw data" of the next. Field data refers to raw data collected in an uncontrolled in situ environment. Experimental data refers to data generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording.
The word data is the plural of datum, neuter past participle of the Latin dare, "to give", hence "something given". In discussions of problems in geometry, mathematics, engineering, and so on, the terms givens and data are used interchangeably. Such usage is the origin of data as a concept in computer science or data processing: data are numbers, words, images, etc., accepted as they stand.
There'll be blood on his hands
There is hate in his eyes
An innocent boy
Like the prophecy told
The enforcer of the gods
Why did the gods
Want the dark god to die
It was Loki's fault
That Baldur was dead
But they were blinded by their rage
Bridge:
He walked through the shadows
He lived in the dark
Awaiting his destiny
Woven by Norns
Refrain:
God of the dark - where are you now
God of the dark - be afraid
Wali is our vengeance
And your death
He can see in darkness
Feel his breath
God of the dark - god of the dark
God of the dark - god of the dark
God of the dark - god of the dark
God of the dark - god of the dark
The gods sent the messanger
To the black world of Hel
To beg the queen of death
To set Baldur free
On a condition
She would agree
The whole should cry
To set Baldur free
But the giant has refused
[So] the light god must stay
So wild hate filled the gods
Bridge
Refrain
