MonstroCity
[Verse 1]
Skyline draped in shimmering red
Irradiant and treacherous
Neon prophecies hail the end
The capital of piety
[Verse 2]
Totalitarianopolis
City of dread
The glorious streets of dystopia
Continuously running red
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where self is relinquished
Autonomy sacrificed
The idolatry of tyrants
Compulsory
[Chorus]
Welcome, all, to MonstroCity
Where norm is that of the insane
All is illusion in MonstroCity
Bow to it, it knows your name
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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"
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where we fail
Where the self-righteous reign
The empire of imaginary ghosts
This is blind credulity's domain
[Refrain]
MonstroCity
MonstroCity
MonstroCity
MonstroCity
[Verse 3]
In here, everyone knows "the truth"
Which unforgiving icon is real
Intolerance and prejudice
Saturates their zeal
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where self is relinquished
Autonomy sacrificed
The idolatry of tyrants
Compulsory
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Totalitarianopolis
City of dread
The glorious streets of dystopia
Continuously running red
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where self is relinquished
Autonomy sacrificed
The idolatry of tyrants

[Chorus]
Welcome, all, to MonstroCity
Where norm is that of the insane
All is illusion in MonstroCity
Bow to it, it knows your name
