And deep down I know this well
And I'll become the monster
And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall
And made sure we got home again, who would care if we're in just?
And now no one dares to piss him off?
And then sleep knowing he has done him right?
Do I need to change?
Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans cause he is vile?
Five-hundred men gone, this can't go on
How am I to reunite with my estranged?
How did suffering become so endless?
How has everything been turned against us?
I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my mom
I must become the monster, and then we'll make it home
I must get to see Penelope and Telemachus
I will deal the blow
I'll become the monster
I'll go where Poseidon won't reach us
I'm surrounded by the souls of those I've lost
I'm the only one whose line I haven't crossed
If I became the (monster)
If I became the monster and threw that guilt away
If I became the monster to everyone but us
In an instant so we all don't die
Is he scared that he's doing something wrong?
Is he up in the middle of the night?
Is me?
Is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?
Like none they've ever known
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (monster)
Or did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain?
Or does he end my men to avenge his friend
Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him
Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile?
Penelope
So if we must sail through dangerous oceans and beaches
So what if I'm the monster lurking deep below
Telemachus
Then I'll become the monster
What if I'm the monster?
What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong?
What if I'm the one who killed you every time I caved to guilt?
What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?
What if I've been far too kind to foes, but a monster to ourselves?
What if the greatest threat we'll find across the sea
When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown
When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs, is she going insane?
Would that make us stronger? Would it keep our foes at bay?
