The Pharaohs Bride

“DROWNING”

Verse 1:
Waves crash, pull me under,
Can’t breathe, lost in thunder.
Every step feels like a fight,
Drowning deeper in the night.

Pre-Chorus:
No escape, no way out,
Suffocating in my doubt.
Can’t scream, can’t run,
Nowhere left, nowhere to turn.

Chorus:
I’m drowning—can’t break free,
Water’s rising over me.
Reaching out but no one’s there,
Sinking slow in my despair.

Verse 2:
Mirror shows a hollow face,
Trapped inside this empty space.
Every scar, every lie,
Another weight, I’m sinking by.

(Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus)

Bridge:
Tired arms, slipping fast,
How much longer can I last?
One more breath, one more chance,
Will I sink, or will I stand?

(Final Chorus & Outro)

Drowning

“THE DARK SIDE”

Verse

I see your face in broken glass
Memories burn and never pass
Tried to run, but I still fall
No escape behind these walls

I bite my tongue to kill the scream
Hold it back inside this dream
Every breath a loaded gun
Fighting battles I never won

Chorus

On the dark side — I’m still breathing
On the dark side — I’m not leaving
No light, just fire inside
I break, I bleed — but I survive
The dark side — it’s mine tonight

Verse 

I wear these scars like armor plates
Every cut — another weight
Tried to smile, but it’s a lie
Hollow heart and bloodshot eyes

I’m not lost — I’m just awake
Pull me under, let me break
All this pain I hold too tight
Still I stand and still I fight

Chorus

On the dark side — I’m still breathing
On the dark side — I’m not leaving
No light, just fire inside
I break, I bleed — but I survive
The dark side — it’s mine tonight

Bridge

This pain is mine — I wear it well
No one gets saved — welcome to hell
Feed the fire, let it grow
Lose control — let it show

Final Chorus

On the dark side — I’m still breathing
On the dark side — I’m not leaving
No light, just fire inside
I break, I bleed — but I survive
The dark side — it’s mine tonight

Outro

It’s mine tonight…

The Dark Side

“No More Tears”

Verse
I’ve been down, I’ve been broken,
Every promise left unspoken.
Felt the fire, felt the pain,
But I won’t go through that again.

Pre-Chorus
Chains are falling, I’m set free,
No more ghosts haunting me.
Lightning strikes, hear me say,
I’m walking out, I’m done today!

Chorus
No more tears, no more pain!
I’m rising up, I’m born again!
No more lies, no more chains!
I’m taking back my life today!

Verse 2
You tried to break me, tried to win,
But I won’t let you pull me in.
All your shadows, all your games,
Watch me walk right through the flames.

Pre-Chorus
Chains are falling, I’m set free,
No more ghosts haunting me.
Lightning strikes, hear me say,
I’m walking out, I’m done today!

Chorus
No more tears, no more pain!
I’m rising up, I’m born again!
No more lies, no more chains!
I’m taking back my life today!

Bridge
Burn it down, leave the past,
This time I’ll be free at last!
Feel the thunder, hear my roar,
I won’t be held down anymore!

Chorus
No more tears, no more pain!
I’m rising up, I’m born again!
No more lies, no more chains!
I’m taking back my life today!

Outro
No more tears, no more fear,
This is my time, I’m still here!

No More Tears

“WASTED YOUTH”

Verse
Running wild with reckless dreams,
Burning fast like gasoline.
Never listening, never learning,
Now we’re watching bridges burning.

Pre-Chorus
No rewind, no second take,
Too far gone to hit the brakes.

Chorus
Youth—wasted on the young ones,
Running till the fire’s gone.
Youth—chasing down the madness,
Never knowing right from wrong.

Verse
Fists in the air, we lived too loud,
Now we’re lost inside the crowd.
Thought we owned the world back then,
Now we’re ghosts in the wind.

Pre-Chorus
No rewind, no second take,
Too far gone to hit the brakes.

Chorus
Youth—wasted on the young ones,
Running till the fire’s gone.
Youth—chasing down the madness,
Never knowing right from wrong.

Bridge
Looking back, it’s clear to see,
What we had was never free.
But we burned it all away,
And now there’s nothing left to say.

Chorus
Youth—wasted on the young ones,
Running till the fire’s gone.
Youth—chasing down the madness,
Never knowing right from wrong.

Outro
Wasted youth… gone too fast…

Wasted Youth

“Have you ever broken Down”

Verse

Have you ever watched the lights go out,
While they pretend you’re fine?
Have you ever begged the night to end,
But prayed it’d buy you time?

You fake a breath, you fake a smile,
But your skin don’t feel like home.
You’re screaming through the silence,
But you always feel alone.

Chorus

Have you ever broken down,
And no one saw it fall?
Have you ever screamed for help,
With your back against the wall?
Have you ever felt so lost,
You forgot your name?
Tell me, have you ever…
Felt the same?

Verse 

Have you ever stared into the glass,
And not known who you are?
Tried to patch a bleeding heart
With pieces torn apart?

You carry ghosts in every step,
But no one sees the weight.
You wear the hurt beneath your skin,
And say, “It’s just too late.”

Chorus

Have you ever broken down,
And no one saw it fall?
Have you ever screamed for help,
With your back against the wall?
Have you ever felt so lost,
You forgot your name?
Tell me, have you ever…
Felt the same?

Bridge

Tell me what it takes to feel again,
Tell me how to breathe without the pain.
I’ve been drowning in my skin —
No way out, no way in.

Final Chorus

Have you ever broken down,
And no one saw it fall?
Have you ever screamed for help,
With your back against the wall?
Have you ever felt so lost,
You forgot your name?
Tell me, have you ever…
Felt the same?

Have You Ever Broken Down

Out Comes The Devil

So we’re going to slow down COMPLETELY after the release of THE DARK SIDE

The song “MAKE IT RIGHT” is about breaking free from perfectionism and self-doubt. It reflects a journey toward self-acceptance, realizing that true strength comes from embracing imperfection. Instead of chasing approval or flawless performance, we should learn to live authentically — finding peace, confidence, and freedom in simply being ourselves.

LYRIC

Intro

I tried to walk a line that’s straight,
Always perfect, never late.
But the cracks inside still show,
Guess the rules won’t help me grow.

Verse

Counting every step I take,
Worried ‘bout the moves I make.
But the harder I pretend,
The less I know where I begin.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a flawless disguise,
I’ll let the real me rise.

Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Verse

Tired of wearing someone’s face,
Running in a losing race.
Now I see the truth is clear,
What I need is already here.

Pre-Chorus 

I won’t let the moment pass me by,
This is who I am inside.

Chorus

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Bridge

Every scar has told my name,
Every fault is not a shame.
Perfect’s just a losing game,
But I won’t play it.

Final Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Outro

 “I’m enough, I’m enough”

Make it right

The song “FOREVER” celebrates lifelong love and devotion. It tells the story of two people who have shared life’s ups and downs, finding strength and joy in each other. Time may pass and appearances may change, but their bond remains unbreakable — a timeless promise of forever, built on trust, warmth, and shared dreams.


LYRIC

Intro

Morning light upon your face,
Every moment feels like grace.
Hand in hand, we chase the days,
Time can’t steal what we’ve embraced.

Verse

We’ve been laughing through the years,
Turning troubles into cheers.
Every step has brought us near,
To the love that keeps us here.

Pre-Chorus

If the world should fade away,
I’d still want you every day.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

Verse 

Every wrinkle tells a tale,
Every storm we’ve set the sail.
Through the highs and through the lows,
Love’s the only truth we know.

Pre-Chorus

Even when the night is long,
We’ll keep singing our own song.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

Bridge

Love’s the anchor, love’s the flame,
Through the years it stays the same.
If I had one vow to make,
It’s forever, no mistake.

Chorus

Forever, I’ll stay with you,
Every dream we chase comes true.
We’ll grow old but never tired,
Hearts on fire, hearts inspired.
Forever, it’s you and me,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.

Du Bist Meine Liebe

Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.
