Name: Raise The Dead by Rory David
Duration: 3 min 41 s
Description: Good ol head bangin raise the dead metal for you here

The hardest, rawest track on the album. Riff-heavy, aggressive, and defiant. A warning: your grip is your downfall.

The Cost of Control

The Storming
Pages In Clouds 2025

The wind has stilled, the sky won’t breathe,
The light retreats behind the trees.
I see the black tide start to swell—
It whispers like a funeral bell.

No prayer will stop what’s on its way…
So I kneel and let it take my name.

The darkness is coming!
The darkness is coming!
Brace your soul — feel it drum!
Suffer the storming! Bleed til it’s done!
THE DARKNESS IS COMING!
And I won't run!

Clouds like knives and thunder’s grin,
Tearing peace from bone and skin.
I don’t beg, I don’t believe—
I bare my chest and grit my teeth.

Let the winds split open my frame…
Let the rain erase my name…
Let the sky scream straight through me…
I was born for this agony.

The darkness is coming!
The darkness is coming!
Let it crash — let it break!
Let it drown all I fake!
The darkness is coming…
The storming will take…
EVERYTHING.

The sky has opened.
I feel no fear.
I close my eyes…
And let it tear.

A Morbid Mask

The Storming - played on BBC Radio 1  Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe

[Verse 1 - Rap Verse (Sad Vocals)]
In a room filled with dust and decay, 
There's a light that peers this way.
An endless void of eternal suffering, 
Never miss the mark of undying buffering.

Fractures that break through the reelings, 
Nothing remains in this hole of feelings.
Love that can't shine this way at bay. 
The relay will always be in the way.

[Guitar Solo 1 - Sad rifts that relay with emotion, leading to pre chorus]

[Pre Chorus - Rap Verse (Emotional Vocals)]
The dark alley in the recesses of you're mind,
Calls to you from afar in another bind.
A solice that I can find in the dark, 
A heart that reaches out to the dawning.

Please can't you be with me in another life? 
The only thing we can do is fight it.
A hand that grasps at what's left, 
A defying stare can be found by the deaf.

[Chorus - Rap Verse (Breakdown Vocals)]
Fate calls to the weary that need lifting,
Come by my side and always grip my hand.
I can feel is fate slipping through my fingers,
Always stay by my side please don't linger.

Fate will call to the broken hearted, 
Break fate chains by a darkened heart.
Never ever give up hope to the relay, 
Always find a way to break fate I may say.

[Piano Solo 2 - Fate calling to break free, leading into 2nd verse]

[Verse 2 - Rap Vocals (Hopefull Vocals)] 
In the dark I always find my way to dawn, 
Everyone is here to guide you along.
Never give up on that one embrace, 
You never let this feeling of dismay go. 

its when you break free from the chains, 
Fate will always rise up to break dismay.
But when fate is not there to guide you, 
You leave the world with utter rue.

[Pre Chorus - Rap Verse (Recessing Vocals)]
The dark alley in the recesses of you're mind,
Calls to you from afar in another bind.
A solice that I can find in the dark, 
A heart that reaches out to the dawning.

Please can't you be with me in another life? 
The only thing we can do is fight it.
A hand that grasps at what's left, 
A defying stare can be found by the deaf.

[Chorus - Rap Verse (Weary Vocals)]
Fate calls to the weary that need lifting,
Come by my side and always grip my hand.
I can feel is fate slipping through my fingers,
Always stay by my side please don't linger.

Fate will call to the broken hearted, 
Break fate chains by a darkened heart.
Never ever give up hope to the relay, 
Always find a way to break fate I may say.

[Ending - Fade Out to fates embrace] 
Never forgot this one thing to remember, 
It is fate that calls out to you're memory.
Always bring it here with the chains, 
Fate will break the chains.

Shadows I Bury

Hands That Hold the World is a raw, emotional post-hardcore journey through the human experience of sacrifice, faith, and resilience. From the quiet pain of loss to the roaring defiance of the heart, each track tells a story of individuals facing unimaginable trials—mothers giving everything for their children, elders forgotten yet honored, young lives confronting violence, and souls finding redemption through faith in Christ.

The album confronts grief, injustice, and societal pressures head-on, while ultimately celebrating the strength of the human spirit and the power of love, selflessness, and unwavering faith. With soaring choruses, blistering breakdowns, and hauntingly intimate moments, Hands That Hold the World is both a tribute and a call to honor those who give themselves fully to others, holding the world steady with their courage and compassion.

22. The Wedding Night Massacre

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.
