lyrics

I lived in a quiet place
I saw the same people every day
I never read the good book
And I never bowed to pray
'Til an angel came on high
And arrived to say:

"Repent! Repent!
There is someone who truly loves you
And would wash the dirt from your filthy face!
But you hide from your friends and your family
And you choose to live in disgrace!
Repent! Repent! Repent!"

Why do you dream? Why do you lie?
I don't know.
Why do we cry all the time?
Why do we breathe? Why do we die?
I don't want you to die.
I'm going crazy.

Stop!
Before you become
Some kind of town-wrecking monster!

Change!
Strip!
Your skin!
Your face.

We had a town meeting
All night we stayed awake
And in the morning they decided
To burn the angel at the stake.

His skin smelled of myrrh
And his wings lit the sky
But he didn't pray, no, no, no, no.
And he didn't cry.

He sang the saddest song in the world.
It broke a thousand hearts at once.

"Christ is King! Christ is King!
Christ is King!"

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
