Meshuggah - Monstrocity lyrics

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
