Renaissance City

We reach the city, Caroline and I – everything I thought was true was a lie

Apathetic creatures shuffle about with nothing to believe and nothing to doubt

How did we fail to notice our role as evil overlords, irredeemable trolls

Far above this unheavenly mess, where human morality has failed the test

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City

And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

We listen as Helpers read from a script, urging their flocks to give up the ship

Just lower your expectations, they say, and happiness happens at least once a day

Meanwhile, armored security Jacks are beating up Psyches who preach a new path

Zip-tied vagrants assemble in rows, marching in step to parts unknown
