Gravestones 06:12
The perfume of burning flowers Gravestones in the sky The decay of lost dreams A crucifix of flies Destroyer of worlds Harbinger of the unknown Prey to the neon gods Let all mind and body go Dismiss all earthly passions To the fire in the sky Let war replace the hymns Of mother’s lullabies There’s nowhere to run And there’s nowhere to hide Surrender your identity And don’t question why I wander through the ruins Of our crumbling world And I want to believe That there is something more Future is but fantasy In our decaying world A holocaust to cleanse the earth Of every boy and girl A cancerous womb for every child A crib of cement walls Plastic dreams of treeless nights Repose for one and all Ignore all of the shadows Consuming all we know Surrender love for hatred And cast every stone March to the beat Of the broken machine Relinquish your soul To the bright glowing screen The only shred of hope Lies in a dying dream That there is something more For you and for me Where we can all be free From this broken machine A dying dream of liberty

"I realize that someday I'm going to die, but for right now I'm still alive." I am gonna show the world Exactly what I am I’m a product of my environment And a crumbling society I’m alive and I’m angry And I want to be heard I want to take back what was stolen ‘cause I’m a product of your broken world Of your broken world I refuse to be like everybody else Heartless and soulless Just gears and bolts The people around here will devour your soul And if you don’t fight back They will take control Society is a masquerade And everyone wants to play the game So you grab your mask that hangs by the front door And you put it on like all of the days before Well I don’t wanna wear a mask I just want to be free There’s nothing you can do To stop me now I refuse to obey To blindly follow Naïve and afraid I refuse to be like everybody else Heartless and soulless Just gears and bolts The people around here will devour your soul And if you don’t fight back They will take control I look into your eyes And see that you are dead inside You’ve become a slave to the screen A slave to the screen I’ve got to get out of This phony land of make believe This vile place isn’t meant for me Can’t go nowhere without a fight Can’t even walk down the street Without shadows lurking over me I’m alive and I’m disgusted By the brain-washed neon lies Pray to the wasteland And close your eyes

Cheap Salami 03:19
Where’s the self-empowerment In being a piece of meat? The price tag in the window Says you’re really cheap They’re hungry and they’re drooling And everybody wants a slice They’ll eat you up ‘till nothings left Then disappear into the night You say you’re liberated But I see through your disguise You’re exposed and alone In front of all the staring eyes Sometimes you feel exploited And you relapse to a child And when no one is around You just feel used up and defiled When will you realize You’re doing it to yourself You only want the hurt You won’t accept the help Your pain is self-inflicted You love the agony It’s all you’ve ever known To be a slab of cheap salami Where’s the self-empowerment In being worth a dime? These hungry wolves don’t care about The contents of your mind They’ll never see you for the beauties Of the pains that you’ve endured Or the poems you used to write But you don’t write them anymore
4.
Maleficium 04:44
In a forgotten cemetery Below an unmarked grave Lies the soul of Mary Who was burned at the stake Her and her child met the flames of demise The land was in plague There was no compromise Someone had to pay Judaist lepers Black magic wielders Moon-howling wolves And accursed wax figures Maleficium She pried open nailed eyes Awake on the other side That storm-raising priestess Is back for our hides You were unjustly accused Tortured and abused Deemed a heretic Goddess of the underworld Queen of the night She’s waiting at the cross-roads To show us her might Night-flying female The Sabbath is coming She’s back from the grave And the insects are swarming With tears in her eyes She accepts her demise Scapegoat to the lies Have mercy, ‘o wrathful witch For you were once innocent But now revenge has consumed your soul She claimed to hear voices Of sprits and saints But darkness and shadow Are all that remain She wanders the Earth In the shadow of God Traded her soul For eternal unresolve Traded her soul She sought retribution For her souls pollution Overtaken by madness And false persecution Justice will come To the wicked and wrong But faith must prevail Justice will come To the wicked and wrong But faith must prevail

Hate 02:53
He hurt me so I hurt you They hurt me so I hurt them I don’t care about this world World never cared for me Gimme gimme it’s not fair I want more Me me me She gets more attention than me There’s none left for me I’m all alone I am ugly I hate everything No one loves me I don’t care about this world World never cared for me He’s got more money than me He’s got more power than me Gimme gimme it’s not fair I want more Me me me I don’t care about this world World never cared for me

Power grids and satellites Holograms in my eyes Circuit board anatomy Autopilot sensory Digital world is not for me Illusion of reality Can’t you see we’re losing our souls? Computer chip is in my brain Life is just a video game Radio-active molecules In cyber space I make all the rules We’re losing our humanity To cold steel and technology Have we gone too far? Chemical dreams of a dying world Watch the nuclear chaos unfurl From the safety of your telephone Hypnotized by the cosmic glow Fading creativity To convenience and accessibility I can’t breathe in this cancerous world
7.
Fairydust and razorblades No one cares anyway Words they have no meaning here They want to expose your every fear They want you up against a wall They want to watch you crawl Firing squads and guillotines We’re all gears in the war machine We’ll punish the very thieves we deprive We’ll corrupt the young and innocent minds We’ll send all of the boys off to war We’ll turn the girls into whores Macdonald’s and Disneyland I’m so happy to be an American Atomic weapons and GMOs Plastic world where nothing grows It’s the land of the free and the home of the brave I am a slave
8.
You’re on the other side Of the walls that divide And everybody feels the same Always looking for someone to blame Imaginary lines You’re on the other side Imaginary lines that divide Outlander, you are much different than me Your culture and religion are as strange as can be You are on the other side You are an outsider looking in I can tell by the color of your skin That I am a barbarian Your way of life is alien to me Imaginary lines You’re on the other side Imaginary lines that divide I must reject what I can’t understand Your people speak in tongues and you are of a foreign land You are on the other side

Hard City 08:24
Live to serve and sever your worth It’s a hard city to love Live to serve and sever your worth It’s a hard city to love Pray to the neon cross Pray to the LED order Prey on the weak Prey on the lost It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours Prey on the weak Prey on the lost It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours Dollars and days Spent in a haze There’s no escape Dollars and days Spent in a haze There’s no escape It’s a hard city to love Pray to the neon cross Pray to the LED order Prey on the weak Prey on the lost It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours Prey on the weak Prey on the lost It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours Below plutonium clouds 19 hundred 19 feet above the sea Chattering TV screens Blinding society Trade your old tired soul For that 24 karat glow Let the capital ‘T’ envelope you Let the screen take hold Let the screen take hold And fear the rain The acid rain Taste of the grave The neon grave Fear the rain The acid rain Look away Look away Shadows outlined Glowing inside Bright from the heart No distance apart Beat of the devil Black from the start Cling to the aura Escaping your soul Overlord whore Emblazoned in gold Atop neon skyscrapers Burned down into stone Screw their land Shut up and learn something In this surveillance state Blood isn’t immortal Everything has a record Every wince, nod, and grin The screen can read your mind One flash, and it’s in Look up to the screen Smile in the sun Omnipotent one United screens as one Neon order has begun Neon order has begun Neon order has begun Neon order has begun Dream soul will wander Harness your dreams Keep the light close By closing your mind Preserve your worth Discard mother Earth Unplug yourself from the circuitry Awaken yourself from this lucid dream Remove your chains and open your mind Or our Earth will surely die If we can’t question the lies The neon web of lies The neon web of lies The neon web of lies The neon web of lies

I try to separate From the material world It doesn’t matter anyway Forget about Your troubles for now I try to meditate Ignore the guns and sirens That cry all through the night But I can’t quiet My noisy brain I know only my senses See, hear, smell, taste, touch Tangible stimuli Who am I? Simulated dreams Of questions that have answers A simpler point of view A path laid out Before me Time is not linear There’s no beginning or end Nothing ever dies If it once existed My world is flesh and concrete It’s all I know Whatever lies on the other side I’ll be there soon I hope to see you in a distant life I hope to see you in the afterlife

Candy Warpop Las Vegas, Nevada

Candy Warpop is a nihilistic storm of art punk and dark psychedelia. Incubated under the debauched neon of Las Vegas, this audacious trio is unrestrained by conventional musical standards.
