  • Welcome to a city that'll bring you to your knees
    It'll make you beg for more, until you can't even breathe
    Your blindfold is on tight, but you like what you see
    So follow me into the night, 'cause I got just what you need
    We're all rollin' down the boulevard, full of pimps and sharks
    It's a motherfuckin' riot, we've been dying to start
    You better grab a hold 'cause now you know your falling apart
    You thought these streets were paved in gold
    But their dirty and dark

    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Nightmares!
    Welcome!

    In the belly of the beast, I'm a wolf amongst the sheep,
    At the bottom of the hill, but at the top of the street
    Above the boulevard, schoolyard, victim of deceit
    And you're runnin' hard, but this wolf is always at your feet
    And you've seen it all before, but the wolf's outside your door
    And you're old enough to run, you ain't hiding anymore
    Another victim of the star spangled banner of the street
    Now you're in the world of wolves
    And we welcome all you sheep

    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Nightmares!
    Welcome!

    You need to wake up and face it,
    So you can taste my reality
    Now you're stuck in this place you hate,
    And you came here so happily
    Then it made you lose your faith,
    And that's what fucked with your sanity
    Say goodbye to your soul and say hello to your vanity
    Hollywood is your friend, and the undead are your family
    We'll take you to the edge, and turn your regret into agony
    And I'll never let you go, 'cause I know you'll come back to me
    I'm the reason you came here
    I'm the American tragedy

    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Been to hell
    I can show you the devil!
    Down you fell
    Can't hold yourself together!
    Soul to sell
    Down here you live forever!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
    Nightmares!
    Welcome!

    Welcome!
    Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
