[Intro:]
Saw it in your eyes—before the blade came down.
The lies you stitched still bleed, still drown.
I’ve met the Devil...
He’s kinder than you.

[Verse 1:]
Brace for the blow—it’s closing fast.
Truth cuts deeper than your past.
I carve the names in scars you left—
Your throne’s a tomb, built out of theft.
Your mask is cracked, truth bleeding through.
You buried guilt like it wouldn’t bloom.
You're the frost in every vein.
Now the silence screams your name.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Your fire’s out—just smoke and shame.
I won’t bleed for you again.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR WORDS ALL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY LIFE’S A FIST!
DEVIL’S AT YOUR DOOR—CHOKE ON WHAT YOU WROTE!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on it—swallow the flame!
Drown in truth—you forged the blame!
Storm is rising—your crown won’t last!
Truth is metal—and breaks like glass!

[Verse 2:]
You spit your venom, circle lies—
I wear my wounds like armor ties.
You cut deep, but I never dropped—
You cut deep, and I rose up.
I’m what you fear—unbowed, unbent.
Gold turns black—your testament.
Truth’s a blade and I’m its edge.
Say my name... and taste regret.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You said I’d break—but here I stand.
This rage was forged in your own hands.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES ALL BURN!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—I’VE EARNED MY TURN!
DEVIL’S GOT YOU NOW—CHOKE IN ENDLESS NIGHT!

[Post-Chorus:]
Burn in pride—your throne’s a shell!
Drown in rust—you built this hell!
False king falls—no one kneels!
Truth don’t beg, it breaks and heals!

[Bridge:]
You swore I’d fail—you watched me bleed.
Now I’m thunder—cracking teeth.
You laughed me down—now hear me rise.
I’m the storm behind your lies.
RISE!

[Final Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES STILL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY FURY PERSISTS!
DEVIL’S GOT YOUR THROAT—YOUR CROWN’S CORRUPT!
CHOKE ON FLAME—WHILE I RISE FROM DUST!
NEVER FORGIVE! NEVER!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on pride—truth won't die.
Rage you gave—I wear like light.
Watch me rise—fear me now.
I am the reckoning—you allowed.

[Outro:]
I’ve seen your worst.
I’m still here.
That’s what scares you most.

Rage Balkan

[Verse]
It's funny
I was thinkin' about you
And you was thinkin' 'bout me
When you was layin' in bed with her
That's when it hit me
The way you look at her
The way you used to look at me
She had on my earrings

[Pre-Chorus]
And it got me thinkin'
It got me thinkin'

[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how I caught you creepin' on my profile?
Yeah
Ain't it funny?
Bet you wonder if I know by now
It's too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now

[Verse 2]
It's crazy
The way you tried to play me
Tried to make me feel bad
Now you're probably layin' in bed with her
You're tellin' her all of the lies that you told me
But she don't see right through you
She got on my blue shoes

[Pre-Chorus]
And it got me thinkin'
It got me thinkin'

[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how I caught you creepin' on my profile?
Yeah
Ain't it funny?
Bet you wonder if I know by now
It's too late now
Too late now
Too late now
Too late now

This time dealing with pirate battles and cosmic rum explosions its a wacky ride, hilarious and pushes for some more modern genres mixed in with the 80's space rock.

Cryo Carnival

Paper Crown

Any Kind of Love is a quiet, powerful tribute to imperfect connection — a collection of songs that embrace the beauty in brokenness, the strength in vulnerability, and the hope that flickers even in the darkest places.

Blending emotional lyricism with raw, intimate melodies, the album speaks to the unspoken—grief, longing, healing, and the courage it takes to be seen. These are anthems for the wounded heart, for those who still believe that love, in any form, is proof we’re alive.

Even cracked. Even scarred. Still love.

Ordinary Man

Love Yourself

She hides behind her quiet eyes

Chains in my Throat

Ferocious and groovy, DEMONIZED channels the chaos of SOAD, the grit of Deftones, and the groove of Killswitch Engage. Packed with crushing riffs, soaring choruses, and a massive breakdown, it’s both a headbanger and a sharp critique of ignorance — fusing humor with sociopolitical commentary into one relentless anthem.

DEMONIZED

Out Comes The Devil

To all of you new to soundcloud, I am preparing to file a class action lawsuit against them for non-monetization of several of my top songs.  They have called the unofficial remixes and AI generative.  My music is NOT AI GENERATED!!! I use CCM Studio in Denver, Co.  SO fuck you soundcloud motherfuckers.  We are going to court..I had 2 vinyls I was going to release but the stupid BOT and soundcloud staff are too fucking stupid to know the difference between originals and remixes. So, sorry fans, its not gonna happen, but raise hell with these assholes.

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.
