lyrics

In the light of the neon cross
A suit talks up a god that hates your guts
The walls are strip malls, and the congregation calls
For a blessing big enough to catch their fall

In the light of the neon cross
The salesmen saddle up for your souls
With inerrant paraphrase
And the monetary praise
There's no way the kingdom's not what they say

Oh God won't you rob this den of thieves
Oh God overturn the salvation machine

In the light of the neon cross
A schizophrenic veteran prays
To a God he met today
In the absence of a saint
Behind a tattoo parlor in the rain

In the light of the neon cross
A crying kid recalls her mother's curse
"The things you think you feel
Are neither right nor real
And your father's house is locked until your sickness is revealed"

Oh God won't you rob this den of thieves
Oh God overturn this damnation machine
Is the great carpenter just another tool
That can dance to the tune of any fool

The fruit hangs so low from off the tree of security and certainty
The Phosphorescent crop of prosperity and piety
If by their fruits we should believe I'll take my leave among the weeds
And maybe from your buzzing pulpits I can finally find some peace

Oh God won't you rob this den of thieves
(Is the Great Physician just snake-oil schemes?)
Oh God overturn this vindication machine
(Or something else entirely?)
Oh God won't you rob this den of thieves
Oh God overturn this vindication machine

A project that started as a hobby matured to become a fully fledged art collective that has overgrown the original idea itself, bravo Mommy Proud

I : Golden Head
by Sol Ether

supported by 7 fans who also own “Neon Cross (Ft. John Reagan)”

A solid debut from a promising band, Golden Head is one hell of a first statement. My favourite pick would be Morrigan, the track truly highlights everything Sol Ether has to offer. Deeply mystical work that resonates on a subconscious level, appealing to instincts and fears rather than betting on shock value. And those vocals - it’s pure primal rage Mr Shredder
