Bahá’í Tunes

A song telling the story of the martyrdom of the Bab which is one of the key Bahá’í Holy Days.  The lyrics were written by Duane Varan but the musical composition, vocals and instruments were AI-facilitated. 

The lyrics are as follows:

When the Bab - was in His cell
Sharing His final words from the citadel
But the guards dragged Him away
Seven hundred fifty soldiers prepared to do the deed
It was a public execution that would proceed
So They suspended the Prisoner against a barrack wall
And placed a young follower across his chest

[chorus]
The assembled masses saw the greatest miracle that's ever been
As the bullets flew from the guns the soldiers clutched
And when the smoke finally cleared they were shocked to see an amazing scene
The Bab had vanished and the youth was untouched

[verse]
They searched high and low trying to find the Bab
They were surprised to find Him back in His cell
With His mission now complete He said they could do their deed
Finishing His final guidance and His last farewell
And so they resuspended the youth and the Bab
But the soldiers now refused to do their job
So a new regiment executed the final plan

[bridge]
And with His earthly mission done 
The Bab’s message was there for everyone

[chorus]
The assembled masses saw the greatest miracle that's ever been
As the bullets flew from the guns the soldiers clutched
And when the smoke finally cleared they were shocked to see an amazing scene
The Bab had vanished and the youth was untouched
The Bab had vanished and the youth was untouched
