Attention, Neon Citizens! Here’s today’s advisory. Please don’t drink from Bellagio Fountains. Dead Bodies contaminate the Water. Stay away from The vendors at Shark Reef Aquarium. That’s not shark Meat they’re selling. It’ll Do no good to sell your Gasoline to the soldiers In Arizona and California. They’ll only use it to burn Your corpse. Keep out of CityCenter. Zombies mass There at all hours, hungry. Trust us when we say Paris is burning. Your best bet is to keep Moving. Go to the Boneyard Where neon signs gather Dust. Food, firearms, and Other black market items Can be bought, bartered. Gold is the only tender. Bullets. Antibiotics. Bibles. Bring anything people need To survive in a broken city, This Vegas wasteland. Go to where there’s no god. Only punishment for the sin Of thinking we were Above the maker of an Evil creature: man.

Downwinder 02:48
Blinded by light Clouded in dust Just waking up from The sleep of the just Livestock withered Babies malformed I’m left wearing Hazmat uniform Down on the wind Where the sun always shines I can hear my lover Dying in the pines Losing my mind Coughing up blood Would rather have perished By locust or flood Killed an old lady For a tin of sardines Building an engine block For Satan’s machine Down on the wind Where the sun always shines I can hear my lover Dying in the pines Highway of bodies Rotting away Dead mouths hang open No prayer to say On the horizon Figures in black Armed to the teeth Pointing me back Down on the wind Where the sun always shines I can hear my lover Dying in the pines

Cratered 03:03
Hand of God Digging up earth Revising the land Place of my birth Why does God hate Why so much rage Someone locked His heart Away in a cage Cratered Forever in pain Man finds his place On the end of a chain Said you loved me What does it mean Nightmare fantasy Plague-fever dream You wonder what’s left What more to unfurl It’s just the beginning At the end of the world Cratered Forever in pain Man finds his place On the end of a chain Abyss of doom Pit of despair Here’s where I descend Into the worm’s white lair Burrowing my mind Hollowing me out Save the deepest tomb For my atomic shroud Cratered Forever in pain Man finds his place On the end of a chain

Stupidest organ Beats like a drum Always confused By least attention Pumping black blood Inflating torn lungs Starving dead brain On life’s final rung — Radiation bombards Giant monster’s heart Little Japanese orphan Eats just a part On a bed of white ash With a side of charred bone Chemical meat So you dine alone — Irradiated heart Size of God’s fist Mutated chambers Dark blastocyst Welcome aboard The New Roman Empire Carving our borders With nuclear fire

Black Ash 02:07
Cross on your brow Means you repent Another day older And deeper descent Believe the Christ Spider Satan draws near Obey talking snakes And there’s nothing to fear When the sirens sound You won’t have to ask I’ll tuck you gently Into your bed of black ash Minus the mark You’ll be destroyed Discarded like refuse A child’s broken toy Job said to God: “I abhor a vacuum” God answered Job: “I just loathe humans” When the sirens sound You won’t have to ask I’ll tuck you gently Into your bed of black ash Forty days in the wilderness Turn into forever Farewell to the flesh To the lives we have severed On flattened fairgrounds It’s a Big Carnival Day Explosions all around So you can’t hear me as I say When the sirens sound You won’t have to ask I’ll tuck you gently Into your bed of black ash

Tires nearly melted On burning blacktop Bombed cities on fire Mass dead left to rot Storm clouds gather At the horizon’s line Or maybe they’re just pustules From the wounds of my mind Check the rearview We’ve left quite a mess Darkness in our wake Wastelandesque Brakes already gone No living mechanic Gas tank rattles Radio just bleeds static Canned dog food keeps Our broken bodies alive As for our humanity Not a shred will survive Don’t panic, darling You’ve only torn your dress Another shattered mannequin Wastelandesque Time of the wolf Season of the witch Who can deny Death’s a wicked bitch We had our chance Spoiled to the core Dancing our way To a Fourth World War I smell your fear Hear your beacon of distress All the way from down here Wastelandesque

Doom Town 02:47
There’s a light in my head There’s a ghost in my bed She looks like you She tells me what to do And how to get through Living in Doom Town Like a slave upon the wheel Like a god no one can feel I often dream Of the distant lights And what they must mean Living in Doom Town Blowing up the planet With a boom-box beat Gutter full of bibles In a dead-end street No matter what you choose You must always lose Living in Doom Town Through a broken window pane I watch the kids all go insane They’ve formed a band Rockin’ the free world While the rest make their stand Living in Doom Town

Cancer Eater 03:17
Tumor-pocked bodies Afflict the population Only thing to eat In Land of Starvation Heated razors cut Food from our backs Cooked in the fire Of a greasy cask Repulsive communion Of blood and skin Further from God Closer to sin Christ fed thousands With loaves and fishes Bomb feeds millions With flesh of crisis Black market meat Soft mutant pulp Sold by the pound Or deep-fried dollop Repulsive communion Of blood and skin Further from God Closer to sin Cannibal days Are here again Time to eat pieces Of your new best friend Consuming bits Keeping down pieces Line around the block Gore never ceases Repulsive communion Of blood and skin Further from God Closer to sin

100 Suns 03:20
For lethal sunsets Expensive shades For fake salvation Jesus saves Pray for rain The kind that burns Judgment Lesson You must learn Carrying your bibles Clutching your guns Nothing can save you From 100 suns Hurry down, Doomsday Wipe the slate clean Purifying nukes Kill your dreams Goodnight, Starlight Morning, Black Rain And all the children Gone insane Carrying your bibles Clutching your guns Nothing can save you From 100 suns Disaster madness Apocalypse fervor Best way to end this Human error Finger on the button Blood on the altar Far too close now Cannot falter Carrying your bibles Clutching your guns Nothing can save you From 100 suns

Modulated lasers For silicon chips Your virtual head On the end of a stick Skyline obscured By electronic steeple Threading the eye Of a fiber-optic needle Candles sit flickering On the altar of night Do yourself a favor, baby And ride the light Signal to white noise White noise to oblivion No one hears you scream At the gates of heaven Plunged in darkness Dropped down a well Doesn’t matter who pushed When everyone fell There’s a child weeping Somewhere out of sight He’d better learn fast To ride the light On brink of disaster On edge of despair Can’t tear my thoughts away From the girl with blond hair She filtered my water Cleaned my gory left side Invited me to eat A meal of cyanide God as my witness It just doesn’t seem right To pay for the privilege To ride the light

about

Dead Neon is a post-apocalyptic primitive nuclear doom metal band signed to Ecophagy Records. Trapped in Las Vegas, 65 miles from the Nevada Test Site, inspired by the crude brutality of pioneering Vegas death-doom act Goatlord and the dour lyrics of melancholy bard Leonard Cohen, Dead Neon dreams of a black future, when mankind no longer matters and God’s face is forever turned away.
