EPIC: The Musical - Monster (Lyrics)

This is a lyric video for Monster from EPIC: The Underworld Saga (Original Concept Album). epic

Lyrics 🐢🐢🐢:
How has everything been turned against us?
How did suffering become so endless?
How am I to reunite with my estranged?
Do I need to change?

I'm surrounded by the souls of those I've lost
I'm the only whose line I haven't crossed
What if the greatest threat we'll find across the sea
Is me?

What if I'm the monster?
What if I'm in the wrong?
What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?
What if I'm the one who killed you
Every time I caved to guilt?
What if I've been far too kind to foes
But a monster to ourselves?
What if I'm the monster

Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?
Is he up in the middle of the night?
Or does he end my men to avenge his friend
And then sleep knowing he has done him right?

When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs
Is she going insane?
Or did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain?
When a God comes down and makes a fleet drown
Is he scared that he's doing something wrong?
Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him
And now no one dares to piss him off?
Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans cause he is vile?
Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile

If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away
Would that make us stronger?
Would it keep our foes at bay?
If I became the monster to everyone but us
And made sure we got home again
Who would care if we're unjust?
If I became the

Monster
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Monster

And deep down I know this well
I lost my best friend
I lost my mentor, my mom
500 men gone, this can't go on
I must get to see Penelope and Telemachus
So if we must sail through dangerous oceans and beaches
I'll go where Poseidon won't reach us
And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall
In an instant so we all don't die

Then I'll become the
Monster
I will deal the blow
And I'll become the
Monster
Like none they've ever known
So what if I'm the
Monster
Lurking deep below?
I must become the
Monster
And then we'll make it home

Monster
Penelope
Monster
Telemachus
Monster
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Monster
I'll become the monster

"What if I've been far too kind to foes, but a monster to ourselves?"

Damn that's a good ass line...

[hardikagrawal]

why is this series soo underrated it's so great. I love this epic musical series, it will remain my one of the most loved series

[cringenamehere]

This gives off "jedi slowly turning to the dark side" vibes

[Rick_has_no_enemies]

I discovered this song by chance and liked it just because it sounded really good, but after listening to the whole musical this hits different. Really makes you feel the pain and acceptance of violence of Odysseus .THANK YOU.

[MegaBeast]

Though it's dark...

Awesome song for a BAD-ACE character





Also: I am the monster rawr rawr rawr 🦖🦖🦖

[DarkPhoenix-nu]

The underworld saga is so underrated but i think it really is one of the best sagas in terms of character progression

[idk_bruh]

The line about ruthlessness being a mercy to ourselves makes SO much more sense now than it did in Ruthlessness lol

I am sitting here with my jaw dropped rn

[Aspen_draws]

This is my comfort on the worst of days, I love it

[Wyrdvex]

Didi anyone else see the little note in the corner of the screen that said "rawr rawr rawr" at the very end?

[LaraArnhold]

1:16 i guess i do think the cyclop think he's done right.
1:23 and i think Circe feels like a monster deep down, but then she remember her nymphs and feel better, just like Odysseus from now on. (I think Circe snd Odysseus very similar btw)

[CallMeRoelle]

jesus i love this song so much this has to be my favoprite they are all my favorite i cant. but this one.... hITS. this one is HITTING.

[masayuki]

I know it's like 10 months late but I see you emoting @ 2:39 on the bottom left, hmph.

[JJL-cw]

I absolutely love the percussion and drums in the background!! One of my fav songs in epic!

[LemonAiden]

my timbers... have been shivered.





i am the monster rawr rawr

[DeletedChannel-pw]

I aM tHe MoNstEr, RaWr 🦖 rAwR 🦖 raWr 🦖

[ZeruelZen]

Life at its worst

Theres no end to suffering
We play it safe to destroy the one we love
Cause no one plays it safe to Win
They roar they're ruthless

So if mercy is Pain
Then Death is the only choice for safety

We may not be other saviours
Then that means we are Our own killers
And yet if were the killers were "our" hero

No right choice
Only right path

So lets all be the monsters
We halt
We shield
We return
We fight
Or is it that we cannot change?

[KeiKurono]

It sounds like the Iliad didn't hardened him enough.

[LaraArnhold]

1:12 one of the question that hunt us, for shure 😢

[stellarisnerd]

Sometimes you have create destruction to prevent destruction.

[bunnysun.flower]
