EVERYONE SAYS SHE’LL BE GONE BY TONIGHT
BUT I KNOW SHE’LL BE BACK BY TOMORROW
A GHOST A FAKE THEY ALL TELL ME TAKE A BREAK
BECAUSE SHE NEVER APPEARED ON THE PHOTO

I GUESS I’M IN LOVE WITH THE INVISIBLE
IT’S ALLWAYS BEEN SO AS FAR AS I RECALL
NO NEED TO BE REAL TO HAVE ME FALL
AS LONG AS THE THRILL SAYS IT ALL

NOBODY KNOWS IF SHE’S EVER BEEN HERE
BUT I KNOW SHE’LL BE BACK BY TOMORROW

I GUESS I’M IN LOVE WITH THE INVISIBLE
IT’S ALLWAYS BEEN SO AS FAR AS I RECALL
NO NEED TO BE REAL TO LOSE CONTROL
AS LONG AS I FEEL BODY OR SOUL

NOBODY KNOWS WHEN I’M GONE WHERE SHE GOES
BUT I KNOW SHE’LL BE BACK BY TOMORROW

Spoken Words

There are no heroes
just Heroin killing kids

Holding you at gun point
just for another hit

People killing people
even after death

Spoon fed with voilence
eating human flesh

Fighting a war
while getting high

Only after the carnage
you understand why

There is no faith
everything shatters and breaks

My childhood consumed
we are all doomed

You all being played
just another cog

So many slayed
manipulated for WAR

No moral codes
just plain " Fuck it "

Following orders
while Politicians fill their pockets

Creating the problems
so they can work on a solution

Fake News bullshit
corrupting and pollution

Big foreign countries
hiding behind the scenes

Never even mentioned
never ever seen.

War Child II [Explicit Content]

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome Asteroids (The Original Was Better). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements. 
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Cast of Characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), and composition

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass 

Llanpsych - Fluffer for the keyboardist and keygrip

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – saz, shakuhachi, and synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — cymbals and Chinese percussion

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — traditional gourd-body sitar and mastering.

  Josh had the idea for doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and tie it to the idea it may cease to exist as a living musical tradition sooner than later. Everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 

  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, learned a basic traditional Palestinian drum pattern, in a very authentic fashion. He laid it down, along with an Arabic sounding modal melody line portrayed by the quanun, which is a kind of zither. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.

  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 

  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.

  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you recognize the magic and the humanity of millions of Palestinian people who are suffering unimaginably right now. But most of all, we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )

We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )

Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )

Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )

What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )

Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )

Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )

All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )

Hold me tight

Beneath the Bodhi Tree

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

Prove pure path
The right eight show way
Good vision
Good thought
Good speech
Good day
Good livelyhood
Effort
Mindfulness and action
Weaved wisdom concentrated
Content has traction

To Dukkha debonair
Satisfied with real
Ruse rooted Samudaya
You suffer thirst by feel
Nirvana, be known
Nirodha find light
From Mārga
Our eight fold path meant right

Born beneath the Bodhi tree
Cyclic Samsāra sits
Transcience for fear food free
Karmic Dharma fits
Not torn with our time
Minded body synced
Not shocked
Transcendence through rhyme
Be harmonic miner clocked

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

I don't quite believe in reincarnation of a single spirit although the discovery of DNA in a way sheds a bit of light on it being possible at least in potential code as traits that are passed on. They are either honed and retained or lost through long term positive or negative behavior and discernment of honest or dishonest action from our beings. Epigenetics looks to be starting to show that nurture, particulariy early in life actually enables and disables chemical signals in our genes. This has been shown in rats by a mother that licks her offspring vs a mother that doesn't and the different effects on those baby rats growing up and those scientists believe that translates to humans although they can't stick us in labs to prove it yet. So it looks like nurture may end up holding more influence then early geneticists told us and less is set in stone then we had previously thought. Epigenetics is a young science so it's difficult to make a solid reality from is so far but it does appear to have huge relevancy with our tendencies throughout life and towards addiction and habits. 

Whether we have a spirit that inhabits a body and fully comes back I'm not sure we will ever know that but I guess elements of past spirits and all past life does exist in our code at some level.

This has a lot more potential to bear fruit with our world of knowledge of course because we can actually teach ourselves what other humans think and have thought and what they did with their lives and make our own version of those truths based on our unique life experience.

This track is paying homage to Buddha

Buddha, as far as I am aware is one of the rare old teachers who said go find yourself and the power is inside you and around us. We generally escape the reality of ourselves with desires and indulgence in materialism but have the ability to find our true spiritual selves with discipline and an honest lifestyle. His main realisation was, we suffer, like it or not and his teachings allow us to not amplify that suffering with cravings or self harm but become one with it via a balanced approach  ⚖️  Re-living or re experiencing feelings from the difficult parts of our lives so they don't become a controlling factor in how we react to any situation seems to be central to finding that zen place where we can respond rationally to any situation no matter how trivial or significant. The reason I mention epigenetics and early life is a few scholars seem to allude to a lot of our problematic traits and strengths being born from trauma or solid nurture early in life and are not something we would usually medically consider when contemplating our own shadow searching for that oneness in ourselves...

So in that light I think rebirthing thought in our heads may actually be quite important to deal with any grief from our experience so it doesn't manifest itself as physical ailment from the hidden stress it causes us.

Beneath the Bodhi Tree

OH BABY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
WE HARDLY SAID HELLO AND NOW WE SAY GOODBYE 
I DID’NT FIND THE WORDS WE DID’NT HAVE THE TIME
AND NOW YOU GOT THE NERVE TO COME AND DRAW THE LINE

JUST TELL ME WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

FIRST COMES THE KISSING
NEXT COMES THE FUSSING
LAST COMES THE MISSING PART
FIRST COMES THE KISSING
NEXT COMES THE FUSSING
LAST COMES THE MISSING PART

OH BABY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
WE HARDLY KNOW HOW TO WALK STILL WE TRY TO FLY
I DID’NT HAVE THE NERVE TO REALLY SPEAK MY HEART
AND NOW WE’RE ON THE EDGE OF YOU AND I APART
OH BABY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

FIRST COMES THE KISSING
NEXT COMES THE FUSSING

SHARE (lyrics)

I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT I FORGOT
BUT IT SURE SEEMS TO BE A LOT
WHAT WAS THAT FILM ALL ABOUT
YOUR NAME, MY ROLE, THE PLOT

I HEARD YOU FOOTSTEPS IN THE HALL
O WHAT A BALL   
BUT THAT’S WHEN I BUMPED INTO A HOLE
A DEEP BLACK HOLE

CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT I FORGOT
AND SHINE MY MEMORIES ON TOP
A BLURRY HAZE IS ALL I GOT
O WHAT A FLOP

COULD I BE WHERE I AM NOT

WHEN YOU FORGET WHAT YOU FORGOT
YOU’RE IN A TROUBLE OF SOME SORT
SHOULD YOU BE WHERE YOU ARE NOT
DID YOU EVER HIT THE JACKPOT

IT SEEMS I’VE SEEN MY FACE BEFORE
OH WHAT A SORE 
SO NO MORE BOOZIN AND NO MORE 
WAKING UP ON THE FLOOR

COULD I BE WHERE YOU ARE NOT ?
COULD IT BE THAT I AM NOT ?


CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I FORGOT (Lyrics)

NO KEY NO DOOR
NO STAIRCASE TO NO FLOOR
LIFE SETTLES DOWN TO A DULL ROAR
I DON’T HAVE A HOME ANYMORE

CHILDHOOD LONG GONE
OLD AGE JUST BEGUN
SWEET MEMORIES WALKING ME ALONG
I DON’T HAVE A PLACE TO STAY AND NOWHERE TO RUN

I DON’T HAVE A HOME I DON’T HAVE A HOME
NO HOME NO MORE

NO WALLPAPER ON NO WALLS
NO ONE TO ANSWER NO CALLS
WELCOME TO THE CLUB OF THE WANDERING SOULS
HAUNTING EMPTY BEACHES AND CROWDED SHOPPING MALLS
 
I DON’T HAVE A HOME
ANYMORE

CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I FORGOT (Lyrics)
