Monster
[00:04.93] ODYSSEUS:]
[00:05.72] How has everything been turned against us?
[00:09.96] How did suffering become so endless?
[00:15.27] How am I to reunite with my estranged?
[00:20.05] Do I need to change?
[00:24.04] I'm surrounded by the souls of those I've lost
[00:31.50] I'm the only one whose line I haven't crossed
[00:36.82] What if the greatest threat we'll find across the sea
[00:41.61] Is me?
[00:43.99] What if I'm the monster?
[00:46.13] What if I'm in the wrong?
[00:49.31] What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?
[00:54.37] What if I'm the one who killed you
[00:56.49] Every time I caved to guilt?
[00:59.42] What if I've been far too kind to foes
[01:02.34] But a monster to ourselves?
[01:04.99] What if I'm the monster?
[01:08.99] Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?
[01:11.90] Is he up in the middle of the night?
[01:14.05] Or does he end my men to avenge his friend
[01:16.69] And then sleep knowing he has done him right?
[01:19.36] When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs is she going insane?
[01:24.41] Or did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain?
[01:29.47] When a God comes down and makes a fleet drown
[01:33.44] Is he scared that he's doing something wrong?
[01:35.31] Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him
[01:38.23] And now no one dares to piss him off?
[01:40.60] Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans 'cause he is vile?
[01:45.91] Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile?
[01:50.97] If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away
[01:55.21] Would that make us stronger?
[01:58.13] Would it keep our foes at bay?
[02:00.79] If I became the monster to everyone but us
[02:06.37] And made sure we got home again
[02:08.77] Who would care if we're unjust?
[02:11.42] If I became the
[02:12.75] Monster
[02:15.67] Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
[02:18.58] Monster
[02:20.45] And deep down I know this well
[02:22.84] I lost my best friend
[02:24.43] I lost my mentor, my mom
[02:25.77] Five hundred men gone, this can't go on
[02:28.42] I must get to see Penelope and Telemachus
[02:33.20] So if we must sail through dangerous oceans and beaches
[02:35.85] I'll go where Poseidon won't reach us
[02:38.25] And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall
[02:40.91] In an instant so we all don't die
[02:43.83] Then I'll become the
[02:44.88] (Monster)
[02:46.23] I will deal the blow
[02:48.89] And I'll become the
[02:51.01] (Monster)
[02:51.80] Like none they've ever known
[02:53.67] So what if I'm the
[02:55.53] (Monster)
[02:56.86] Lurking deep below?
[02:59.51] I must become the
[03:00.86] (Monster)
[03:02.18] And then we'll make it home
[03:06.42] (Monster)
[03:09.07] Penelope
[03:11.73] (Monster)
[03:14.40] Telemachus
[03:16.78] (Monster)
[03:19.71] Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
[03:22.63] (Monster)
[03:25.03] I'll become the monster
