Monstrocity Lyrics - Meshuggah

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 

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
