Aussie metal.

Lyrics:

Down in the town of Glenrowan, the coppers came to play,
But Ned and his mates had armour for the fray.
His father was a convict, Ned was a battler’s son,
Raised beneath the gums and burning sun.

With a tin-plated helm and a heart full of fire,
He stared down the troopers, pistols raised high.
From Euroa to Jerilderie, his legend would swell,
The ironclad outlaw who gave the coppers hell!

Raise yer pots and shout it loud,
Ned Kelly stands unbowed!
Through smoke and shot, he’ll never fall,
Australia’s son, the Iron Outlaw!

Ned!

Ned!

“Such is life,” he reckoned, with a grin half sly,
A battlin’ bushranger, too wild to die.
From stringybark hills to the Murray’s bend,
He fought for his mates till the bitter end.

Chain ‘em, flog ‘em, call ‘em rogue,
The squattocracy writ their code.
But the battler’s cry still shakes the land,
The bush takes the side of the workin’ man!

Ned!

Ned!

Raise yer pots and shout it loud,
Ned Kelly stands unbowed!
Through smoke and shot, he’ll never fall,
Australia’s son, the Iron Outlaw!

So here’s to Ned, pat his armoured back,
Through bullet storms in the outback.
From the dusty roads to the jailhouse wall,
We’ll sing of the Kelly who outshone ‘em all!

[Narrated]
"In the year 1880. At Melbourne jail...Ned Kelly, the notorious bush-ranger outlaw was hung by his neck until dead... His homemade armour riddled with bullet pocks... His legend forever in the memories of Australians." 


Ned Kelly's ballad

Second part of DemonDev Trilogy concept album: After escaping the familiar torment of his digital "hell," a developer finds himself in the Purgatory of the Network, a fractured, un-compiled wasteland where his memory is shattered and his identity lost. Once a ruler, he is now vulnerable, hunted by the cyber-demon he once controlled, which senses its loss and unleashes its wrath, transforming the digital landscape into treacherous traps. As he seeks a distant light promising an exit, he is pursued not only by the demon but also by the digital manifestations of those he wronged, forming a "Firewall of Faces" he must confront. He discovers a "Ghost Protocol"—a clean fragment of his original code—which guides him through the demon's relentless pursuit, leading him to a cache of uncorrupted memories of his family. These memories become his strength as he devises a "severance key" to break his pact with the demon, culminating in a climactic battle where he digitally exorcises the entity. Finally, he approaches a threshold of light, the gateway to reality, but the transition overwhelms him, and his awareness dissolves into darkness, leaving his fate uncertain.

Chapter 09 The Threshold of Light

[Verse]
The scroll is broken
Thunder roars
White horse rides—war implores!
Blood-soaked ground
Chaos spreads
Famine feasts
The living dead

[Prechorus]
Four ride forth
The heavens quake
Earth splits wide—what will break?

[Chorus]
Seven seals
Seven cries
Wrath unleashed
The end is nigh!
But through the dark
A spark ignites
From death will rise eternal light!

[Verse 2]
The moon bleeds red
Stars collapse
Mountains crumble
Time elapse
Plagues descend
Trumpets wail
Judgment falls
The weak will fail

[Prechorus]
Oceans boil
Skies ignite
Will hope survive this endless night?

[Chorus]
Seven seals
Seven cries
Wrath unleashed
The end is nigh!
But through the dark
A spark ignites
From death will rise eternal light!
