I Fight My Own Battles

Find Raven on Spotify

Fractured Legends is a post-hardcore journey through worlds on the edge of chaos, following heroes, monsters, and lost souls as they face impossible battles. From reanimated warriors confronting their past, to mechanical champions clashing with endless armies, to dragons igniting hope in lands consumed by darkness, each track explores courage, defiance, and the relentless fight for redemption. With raw emotion and unyielding intensity, the album weaves together tales of sacrifice, rebellion, and the burdens carried by those who dare to stand against fate.

Across shattered kingdoms and towering fortresses, Fractured Legends captures the collision of ambition and destiny, isolation and resolve, fear and resilience. Whether soaring on wings of fire, wielding power beyond comprehension, or guarding forgotten realms, every song channels the tension of epic conflict and the fragile humanity that fuels it. This is a collection where hope burns brightest amid devastation, and where every legend, fractured or whole, leaves an indelible mark on the world.

Bald Mountain

Metal Album Version.  Vocals and music generated by AI but I 100% write my own songs, handle all composition, production and post production for my music.  By around the end of October-November of this year(2025) I will be getting the equipment I need to record my own quality vocals and then voice clone them and have AI train my vocal clone.  If that is successful my plan is to voice swap my cloned vocals with the AI vocals on some or all of my tracks listed as 'Album Version'

Doubt Me(Metal Album Test)

Tear me open

[Intro]
Can’t breathe… can’t scream…
This loss is a weight breaking every seam.
I’m suffocating… suffocating from the loss.

[Verse 1]
Empty halls in my head, echoes of pain,
Every step I take drags through the rain.
Memories choke me, hands around my throat,
I’m drowning in sorrow but I’m still afloat.
Every name carved deep, scars on my soul,
They took the light and left me a hole.
I fight for a breath, but it’s fire and frost,
I’m suffocating, suffocating from the loss.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear feels like glass in my veins,
Every night’s a war I can’t explain.
They’re gone, but the weight’s still here,
Their shadows feed on my fear.

[Chorus]
I’m suffocating from the loss!
It’s tearing my lungs, it’s breaking the cross!
I scream but the air won’t fill my chest,
Grief is a predator, I’m its guest.
I’m suffocating from the loss!
Bleeding my soul at any cost!

[Verse 2]
Silence is screaming, it claws at my mind,
I’m running but trauma’s close behind.
I taste the dirt, I taste the pain,
A grave built inside me that calls my name.
But even in shadows, my fists still clench,
I roar through the blood, I crawl from the trench.
This grief won’t crush me, I’ll tear through its jaws,
Even suffocating, I’ll rewrite the laws.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear feels like glass in my veins,
Every night’s a war I can’t explain.
They’re gone, but the weight’s still here,
Their shadows feed on my fear.

[Chorus]
I’m suffocating from the loss!
It’s tearing my lungs, it’s breaking the cross!
I scream but the air won’t fill my chest,
Grief is a predator, I’m its guest.
I’m suffocating from the loss!
Bleeding my soul at any cost!

[Bridge]
Loss like chains around my throat!
Loss like fire burning my hope!
But I will not fall, I will not fade,
Even suffocating, I’ll carve my own blade!

[Final Chorus]
I’m suffocating from the loss!
But I’m still here, I won’t be tossed!
Pain is my weapon, grief is my spark,
I’ll claw my way out of this endless dark!
I’m suffocating from the loss!
But I’ll rise again, no matter the cost!

[Outro]
I can’t breathe… but I’m alive.
Suffocating from the loss…
But I survive.

I won’t break

Epic reincarnation ballad blending orchestral drama & folk roots. Across three lifetimes — 1066, 1566 and 2025 — two souls fight destiny, war, duty and death just to return to each other. A love that survives oceans, centuries and the grave itself. “The One I Always Find” is an anthem for anyone who believes the right souls never lose each other.

THE ONE I ALWAYS FIND

[Verse 1 - 1066]
As swords were drawn and blood was spilled
My fate was sealed upon that field.
I fought for king and country proud
Our marching cries rose strong and loud
Then in that  moment, I did fall -
A Heathen struck , I heard the call
And then our eyes in fire did meet
You struck him down, fell at my feet
Your brother slain, he fell and cried
You saw a truth, deep in my eyes

[Pre-chorus - 1066]
From that day our hearts Entwined
Two thousand nights, our love divine
Then Heathens came, that fated  day
They tore my world, stole you away
I begged the Gods to help me through
Those raging seas
 I'd come for you!

[Chorus 1]
For there is nothing that I wouldn't do
No raging sea, nor battle could keep me from you
By the divine, I promise you -
That nothing and no one will tear me from you
So now I honour the vow that I made
To hold you again, I'll fight till the end of days
And should I fall before your eyes
I'll find you in death, where our souls are aligned

[Verse 2 - 1066]
The storm did rage, on through the night
But in the dawn, I cried (I can see a light)
Upon the shore there was a glow
The thunder struck, and down my boat did go
Now broken and cold, upon the shore
I opened my eyes -
You stood before me once more
And as I died, there in your arms
You whispered to me, (this is not our final dance)
(It's  not our final dance)

[instrumental]

[Bridge - 1566]
After five hundred years, I see you again
Our love still burns,  a fire that's  in my head
The times have changed, no war this time
But duty called and our love is denied

[instrumental]

[Pre-chorus - 2025] 
And now today, I stand alone
I fear a love, that’s yet to be known
Yet in my soul, I  feel you near
When will the Gods, bring you here

[Chorus 2]
For there is nothing that I wouldn't do
No raging sea, nor battle could keep me from you
By the divine, I promise you -
That nothing and no one will tear me from you
So now I honour the vow that I made
To hold you again, I'll fight till the end of days
And should I fall before your eyes
I'll find you in death, where our souls are aligned

[instrumental]

[Verse 3 -2025]
Five hundred years, since we last did meet
I sit in a café in a London Street
Then a bell on the door did ring
I looked up - saw your face - and our eyes did meet
As you walked by, your arm brushed mine.
And then our fire, then re-alights

[instrumental]

[Bridge 2 - 2025]
You sat and spoke to me for a while
But hours passed, - we couldn’t hide
For we both knew that on that day
We’d met before, but couldn’t place
The time, the year, the world, the life - 
You looked away in silent strife
Then  softly said, (it's time to leave, but it’s not our last dance, I do believe)
Then with those words, it flashed in my mind
The day I died,  and Astra cried!

[Chorus 3]
For there is nothing that I wouldn't do
No raging sea, nor battle could keep me from you
By the divine, I promise you -
That nothing and no one will tear me from you
So now I honour the vow that I made
To hold you again, I'll fight till the end of days
And should I fall before your eyes
I'll find you in death, where our souls are truly alive

[instrumental]

[Outro]
Across the years, our lives entwined
Forever bound, forever tied
A love so raw, a love so pure
My kindred soul
Forevermore

The One I Always Find

About

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRMpYn3DaExz7nilHD0_DMTQvKzAScuXxLZdVw0/?igsh=OHV3anV6MTZzaTR0

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.
