Chords
Transpose
Odysseus
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 one 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?
Bb6sus/G Eb
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?
Bb6sus/G
What if I've been far too kind to foes
But a monster to ourselves?
N.C.
What if I'm the monster
Is the cyclops struck with guilt
when he kills?
Is he up in the middle of the
night?
Bb6sus/G
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?
Bb6sus/G Gm
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?
Bb6sus/G
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?
Bb6sus/G G
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
Soldiers
Monster
Odysseus
Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon
ourselves
Soldiers
Monster
Odysseus
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
Odysseus, All
N.C.
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
