Oman (i/oʊˈmɑːn/ oh-MAAN; Arabic: عمان ʻUmān pronounced [ˈuːmaːn]), officially the Sultanate of Oman (Arabic: سلطنة عُمان Salṭanat ʻUmān), is an Arab country in the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Holding a strategically important position at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the nation is bordered by the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west, and Yemen to the southwest, and shares marine borders with Iran and Pakistan. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. The Madha and Musandam exclaves are surrounded by the UAE on their land borders, with the Strait of Hormuz (which it shares with Iran) and Gulf of Oman forming Musandam's coastal boundaries.
From the late 17th century, the Omani Sultanate was a powerful empire, vying with Portugal and Britain for influence in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. At its peak in the 19th century, Omani influence or control extended across the Strait of Hormuz to modern-day Iran and Pakistan, and as far south as Zanzibar (today part of Tanzania, also former capital). As its power declined in the 20th century, the sultanate came under the influence of the United Kingdom. Historically, Muscat was the principal trading port of the Persian Gulf region. Muscat was also among the most important trading ports of the Indian Ocean. Oman's official religion is Islam.

The death that was created by the hands of humankind
I know most of the answers
While I can’t give any meaning I’m going astray
Ýn a perishing world
I cannot wake up from my nightmares
Inside the meaningless abyss
While loosing my existence
I’m hitting myself into the ground
Now I’m one of them
The secret is once found out
In the place where darkness
never ends I’m despairingly
Struggling while my nightmares
Are making me loose my
Existence trying to wake up
Despairingly my eyes
Are covered in red
Now I’m taking pleasure
From your pain
When their souls
Are perishing in
My emptiness
In my nightmares
From they will
Never wake up
Now I’m one of them
