[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
