about

Three reasons why DEKO have released a cover version of
Acapulco Gold's song “SODOM AND GOMORRHA:

1. It still is a top song.

2. Music and english lyrics were written in 1980 and because the year 2020 is the song's 40th anniversary in english
and the lyrics are now more relevant than ever before, the time is right for a revival.

3. The composer of Sodom & Gomorrha is Rudolf Pix Nepix,
a DEKO member.

lyrics

SODOM AND GOMORRHA
Lyrics: Marcus Neu, Tom Sargent, Carola Nepix
Music: Rudolf Nepix
Edition: Krauthausen Musikverlag / Floh Dur Musikverlag

when the moon covers up the sun and the day becomes the night
when the storm appears and leaves are torn you hide yourself in fright
when lightening bolts divide the sky and thunder fills the height
you finally find out what it's like when nature shows its might

the tree will crack, the waters rise the river bursts its bound
the fertile land becomes a lake where all the cattle drown
and powerful the flood rolls on and the dam starts breaking down
you gasp for air and realize your time has come around

you've only your nakedness you know that's not enough
in the end you bring God on stage
as in Sodom and Gomorrha as in Babel and with Noah
in the end you bring God on stage

when desert takes the forest land and ice melts at the poles
when sick fish leap from water and dying plants leave holes
hot pavement bubbles up and now for breath you'd sell your soul
there's nothing left that you can do your gun's for former roles

the earth quakes, the surface cracks and buildings crumble down
when a gene mutates and the rat grows big and your brain starts to pound
when your children are deformed then death will show its pall
the branch you used to sit upon you cut it off and then you fall

you've only your nakedness you know that's not enough
in the end you bring God on stage
as in Sodom and Gomorrha as in Babel and with Noah
in the end you bring God on stage

DEKO Cologne, Germany

DEKO ist eine Bandformation zwischen dem Musiker Rudolf Nepix und dem Neon-Objekt-Künstler RP Habich. Nepix ist von Kindesbeinen an mit Musik groß geworden. Habich spielt Gitarre seut 2005, sehr eigenständig, ohne musikalische Regeln und Gesetze, laut, überraschend aber einfühlsam. Nepix wiederum lässt Habich gewähren und lenkt die Musik von beiden zu einem Song von DEKO.
