about

Deep inside the shell of every lost soul that shambles through unending violence and despair of the everblack midnight of the Park, a soul of shining neon waits to be set free. While the overwhelming majority fear nothing more than drawing attention to themselves, a select few refuse to be consigned to subservience, sloughing off the prison of their decaying corporality to reveal the brilliance of the neon soul within. These Neon Wraiths discover their own power and agency to fight back against the Corruptor, and with every Wraith set free, another lost soul may find the courage to reveal their own neon core.

lyrics

claw kill like rats they’re tearing at the meat
tear raze extract the nightmare from the dream
throughout these windswept city streets
a sickness festers underneath
violence has shown its bloody teeth
this chaos is no place for me
the silhouettes dance in the flames
destruction apathy and rage
reason lost to the mindless fray
reject this lost society
descend into darkness and this bitter cold
the lost and unwanted shed their skin and ignite their neon souls
and slip into the shadow’s embrace
hunt down gunshots ring in cacophony
break now consumed with animosity
the hunter now becomes the prey
the neon burns away the grey
blackness drowns out the glare of day
children of night come out to play
taking solace in the screams
this world is ripping at the seams
dead eyes stare wide in disbelief
appearances tend to deceive
descend into darkness and this bitter cold the lost and unwanted
shed their skin and ignite their neon souls
and slip into the shadow’s embrace
I know a place where the unloved and alone
draw strength from their sadness
inured to the hate of this uncaring world
and slip into the shadow’s embrace
we are the neon wraiths
nothing can stand in our way
in the shadows ignite
with luminous neon light
