Irradiant and treacherous
Neon prophecies hail the end, the capital of piety
Totalitarianopolis, city of dread
The glorious streets of dystopia continuously running red
This is where self is relinquished
Autonomy sacrificed
The idolatry of tyrants compulsory
Welcome all to MonstroCity where norm is that of the insane
All is illusion in MonstroCity
Bow to it, it knows your name
Relishing the idea of damnation
"The wailing and gnashing of teeth"
They know for sure where judgment's due
"What's above and what's beneath"
This is where we fail, where the self-righteous reign
The empire of imaginary ghosts
This is blind credulity's domain
MonstroCity (4x)
In here everyone knows "the truth"
Which unforgiving icon is real
Intolerance and prejudice saturates their zeal
This is where self is relinquished
Autonomy sacrificed
The idolatry of tyrants compulsory
Welcome all to MonstroCity where norm is that of the insane
All is illusion in MonstroCity
Bow to it, it knows your name
Skyline draped in shimmering red Irradiant and treacherous Neon prophecies hail the end, the capital of piety Totalitarianopolis, city of dread The glorious streets of dystopia continuously running red This is where self is relinquished Autonomy sacrificed The idolatry of tyrants compulsory Welcome all to MonstroCity where norm is that of the insane All is illusion in MonstroCity Bow to it, it knows your name Relishing the idea of damnation "The wailing and gnashing of teeth" They know for sure where judgment's due "What's above and what's beneath" This is where we fail, where the self-righteous reign The empire of imaginary ghosts This is blind credulity's domain MonstroCity (4x) In here everyone knows "the truth" Which unforgiving icon is real Intolerance and prejudice saturates their zeal This is where self is relinquished Autonomy sacrificed The idolatry of tyrants compulsory Welcome all to MonstroCity where norm is that of the insane All is illusion in MonstroCity Bow to it, it knows your name Explain Request ×
