Tower of Silence

A dakhma (Persian: دخمه), also known as a Tower of Silence, is a circular, raised structure built by Zoroastrians for excarnation–that is, the exposure of human dead bodies to the elements for decay in order to avert contamination of the soil with the corpses. Carrion birds, usually vultures and other scavengers, would typically consume the flesh and the skeletal remains would have been left in the pit.Zoroastrian exposure of the dead is first attested in the mid-5th century BCE Histories of Herodotus, but the use of towers is first documented in the early 9th century CE. The doctrinal rationale for exposure is to avoid contact with Earth, Water, or Fire, all three of which are considered sacred in the Zoroastrian religion.One of the earliest literary descrip… more »

Runnin' while the music's playin' in my head
Gotta get back to where I started
If I don't, in the Dark I'll tread
When did they gate it all off
Where is the bus and the venue
Where are all the people and you
I thought I had it all together
But I am so lost
Where are all my friends
Where's my enemies
Have they all been lost in this dark city
Runnin' the music's still playin' in my head
But I've become so jaded
How'd I end up here instead
Why am I on the outside
Where is the bus and the venue
Where are all the people and you
I started this with laughter
But the payoff's been loneliness
Where are all my friends
Where's my enemies
Have they all been lost in this dark city
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
I'm screamin' at the gate but I can't get in
Should I continue to pursue the dream
When there's no one here to hear me sing
Alone I run I'm done with Fear
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Where are all my friends
Where's my enemies
Have they all been lost in this dark city
Where are all my friends
Where's my enemies
Have they all been lost in this dark city
Where are all my friends
Where's my enemies
Have they all been lost in this dark city
