Lyrics
I was born with claws instead of hands
Something no one understands
They pointed, whispered, turned away
Made me hide throughout my days
I never chose this twisted form
Been cursed and hated since I was born
I kept my distance, stayed alone
These claws, this body, not my own
The children threw their stones at me
The adults backed off like I was a disease
I tried to show them I meant no harm
But they only saw these twisted arms
When disaster struck our land
They blamed me, what I can't command
The crops failed, the sickness spread
And now they want me cold and dead
I see them coming with their fire
To kill the one that they call liar
Am I the monster you all claim?
Am I to blame for all this pain?
I never hurt a single soul!
But you've already dug my hole
Am I the monster in your eyes?
Or just the victim of your lies?
You made me into what you fear!
And now you're coming for me here
They're at my door with torches bright
Screaming that I cursed their life
They're breaking through, they're coming in
Ready to make me pay for their sin
I back into the corner now
They're yelling I must answer how
I caused their world to fall apart
When all I had was gentle heart
But something snaps inside my chest
You want a monster? Then face your death!
You made me this! You made me hate!
You sealed your own twisted fate!
You wanted evil, here I stand!
Now feel the fury of these hands!
My claws were never weapons till you came!
But now you'll learn to fear my name!
You called me monster all my life!
Now meet the beast you made tonight!
I am the monster!
You created what you see!
I am the monster!
That you forced me to be!
You wanted darkness, you got your wish!
I am the nightmare you can't dismiss!
I am the monster!
The one you made!
I am the monster!
And you will pay!
The silence falls, the torches fade
The bodies lay where judgment's made
I look down at my bloodied claws
And realize I've become the cause
You made me into what you feared
Your hatred's all that ever steered
I wander where the light has died
The creature you put deep inside
