****LYRICS******

Angel eyes watching over me,
my heart stopped beating but you
wont let me be,
nothing to offer or so I thought,
you see value where others don't,
including me....

back as a kid life was good,
parents weren't rich
but they were honest folks,
taught me right from wrong,
how to be a good man,
fell apart, but just don't know when..
shell of a man of who I used to be,
shooting up in alleys just to feel free,
what I am running from, I just cant say,
evening turns to night, night turns to day....

I'm a husk, leave me where I lay,
Just a husk, let the elements wash
my sins away,
Just a husk,
don't you hear what I say!
Just a husk,
tonight is my dying day

So what's the answer, what's 
the remedy,
I'm a waste of air, a waste of being,
don't spend no more time brining me
back from beyond,
you'll get no thanks,
you'll get no reward...

Is It Dark Yet? (Ryan B Mix)

When Children Play
Racing down the streets in the sunlight.
We are just kids feeling good, playing our life.
We are out to play and we run around.
Chasing our friends while we shout so loud.
Emma is so cute, the boys in love with her.

„Hey, too close! Don't you throw the ball from there! 
Whoa, that was not fair! I won't play any more with you!
Why you are always so mean? Go away!
I play with someone else!“
Bye!

Michael likes to show his strength today.
Lucy is so pretty and she can play.
Marty looks so sad, oh no, what a day!
Finn is mad. I don't like him this way.
Snowball fight in the street, no one can beat me.
Rick's the best we all want him in our team.

„I am first, I run so fast! Joe is so sad, he's last!“
„Uhhh, shame in you you weren't fair!“
„Well, ohh, so sorry my friend!
Please let us be friends again. I really like you, my friend!
Could you too, like me the same?
Together we'll play very cool games“

We all want to play hide and seek.
But Mary always finds Nick too fast, ohh.
„ohhhoo, why I'm always last?
Whooo, I'm tired I go home.“

Tom is a liar, spins so many lies.
Lynn gets angry, is tired of his disguise.
Lars acts strong, but Nick and Lizz say no way.
The world is a game, but some don't wanna play.
He's angry and wants every one to obey.
But not all of us wanna follow what he says.

„Please let us be friends again. I really like you, my friend!
Could you too, like me the same?
Together we'll play very cool games“

The president tells his own stories.
He's the one who makes up what is true.
His minister obeys, always tells something new.
The world's his game, but some don't play.
He's upset now cause every one should obey.
But not all of us wanna follow what he says.

The president and his adviser can now no more get along,
spreading secrets and dirt, feeling very strong.
The president plays king, some don't wanna play.
The adviser admits he has gone too far, 
but most people now know where we are.
The president is angry: „All obey!“
But many are waiting eagerly for the day,
when the old king finally has gone away.

Here we go with the start of a new epic… This time we travel back to the days of Merlin and tell his tale, the tale of his life outside of King Arthur… The life you probably know very little about. So please sit back and enjoy as we tell his story over the next 6 songs. We begin with “The Great Sorcerer” himself.

1. The Great Sorcerer:

See that mist, where dragons live
How can someone see so many tomorrows?

In the shadows
Staff in his hand
Shapeshifting to beasts of earth
Creating myths of our once reigning kingdom
Creating myths of the weakness
And the greatness of men.

And we still hear
Look at all there’s to learn
Science, Science,
The only purity there is

Born at the wrong end of time
Living backwards from in front
We can’t forget he told our unparalleled King
Power of mind’s not enough,
Power of the body decides

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

Earthly, supernatural

Knowledge, the mastership to change fate
What a double-edged sword
Reveling in results of his power
Disregarding the harm

Teaching esoteric
Incantations and spells
To the Lady of the Lake
And in time you know he surrenders to her
He could protect fools from themselves
Couldn’t protect himself from himself.

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

We still mourn how easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

We still mourn how he easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

OK, since you guys are enjoying the guitar (or rather, the guitars) in "Do What You Like" 🎸(https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-you-like) so much, and since you were also curious to actually see the mess that created this sound, here you go! This is basically the “making of” the song, mainly based on a part that was later discarded, complete with a rather comical little sketch and Mary at some point asking Tom to switch to another effects chain (switch, switch! Well, that’s how she puts it!), plus a bunch of other nonsense we’re deeply ashamed of and really shouldn’t be releasing to the whole world ! Oh well… goodbye decency, and goodbye ears for you all (it’s all in English and the laughs are interplanetary… the only word in Italian is Tom’s “basta!” at the end, which means “enough!”)!😂
Oh, by the way, some of you asked about the effects chain we used. Well, maybe we’ll update this description later (time permitting, with our day jobs and three other songs in the making!), and reveal a bit more! Cheers!🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on September 24, 2025.
