Anthology of my English and French songs and intsrumentals

Benedict Francis

Probably my favourite track of mine. Re-produced the way I originally intended.

A Woman Like You

Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.

fire from the pumpkin’s teeth (Remastered)

Demon Slayer

Verse 1
They built their towers out of broken backs,
Fed the fire while they hid the facts.
We paved the roads, we wired the veins,
They took the gold and left the chains.

We wake at dawn to keep their lights on,
While they’re asleep in their tax-free dawn.
But the ground is shifting, the cracks run deep—
The hands that built won’t stay asleep.

Pre-Chorus
We are the rhythm they can’t contain,
The pulse in the power line, screaming in the rain.

Chorus
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the steel and the dust, from the sweat and the flame,
We rise as one—remember our name.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Verse 2
They sold the dream for a paper throne,
Left us fighting just to own a home.
But every paycheck, every night we grind,
We forge the blade they’ll feel in time.

They call us small, they call us weak,
But we’re the storm they’ll never see.
No lobby gold, no TV spin—
Just blood and truth beneath our skin.

Pre-Chorus
We are the rhythm they can’t contain,
The thunder beneath their private plane.

Chorus
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the steel and the dust, from the sweat and the flame,
We rise as one—remember our name.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Bridge (spoken, over quiet drums and feedback)
They thought we’d beg.
They thought we’d kneel.
But this time—
We bring the real.

(Drums explode back in)

Bridge (sung)
No kings, no crowns, no chains of gold,
No lies to buy what can’t be sold.
We built the dream, now we reclaim—
Our blood, our work, our name.

Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals)
We are the hands that built the empire,
Now we’re takin’ it back, set the world on fire.
From the streets to the stars, from the rust to the rain,
We rise as one—unchained.
The hands that built the empire—
Now we break the frame.

Outro (fading feedback, faint voice over static)
You can’t own the people forever.

The Hands That Built the Empire

Lyrics

Verse 1 

Dark suits
Tailored smiles
A thirst for greed
A taste for lies 

Power moves
Shaking hands 
Nations fall
By their command 

Pre Chorus

Hypnotised and pacified 
Paralysed and sacrificed 
An ancient conspiracy 


Chorus 

Reptilian  Eyeees (Wooah oh ohhhh)
Reptilian Eyeees (Got you hypnotised)

Reptilian  Eyeees (Yeah)
Reptilian Eyeees (Got no place to hide)


Verse 2 

Blue bloods
Masquerades
They walk amongst us
And feel no shame

Psychopathic
Narcissists 
They feed on fear
Will you resist 

Pre-Chorus

Compromised and satanised 
Sacrificed and demonised 
A twisted pathology 


Chorus 

Reptilian  Eyeees (Wooah oh ohhhh)
Reptilian Eyeees (Got you paralysed)

Reptilian  Eyeees (yeaah)
Reptilian Eyeees (Evil in disguise)

Bridge 

Reptilian Eyes got you hypnotised
Reptilian Eyes  got you paralysed
Reptilian Eyes evil in disguise

Rap Interlude

Wicked deeds for wicked times,  thats the mantra of the serpentine.  They feed on fear, they drink your tears its a sweet elixir for their kind. Wrathful and malicious, indignant and vicious, 
with honeyed words they'll sell you lies and with a vipers smile they'll  claim your life. Demons, archons,  jinn or devils, many names  playing one game, humanitys bane, the game of pain

Guitar Solo
Chorus 

Reptilian  Eyeees (Wooah oh ohhhh)
Reptilian Eyeees (Got you hypnotised)

Reptilian  Eyeees (yeah)
Reptilian Eyeees (Got no place to hide)

Pedal Fast!  (Alternative mix) - Justin Yorke

I’m a songwriter first and last - not a performer. My focus is on the craft of the song itself, which is why my music has such a wide range. I don’t have one sound; I write for other voices and a vast variety of genres.

You won't find my face on a stage or my voice on a mic. My tracks aren't about building my own brand; they’re about creating a mood or a story that comes fully to life through the right singer.
