Monster

Inspired by the experiences of military veterans living with PTSD, Monster explores the invisible wounds left by conflict. The song reflects the difficult journey of those who return from war changed by what they have seen and endured. It is a reminder that courage is not only found on the battlefield, but also in the daily struggle to face the memories, fears, and shadows that linger long after the fighting ends.

song lyrics

The Wounded Warrior

Throughout history, stories have been filled with wounded warriors—individuals who return from great trials carrying scars that others cannot see. From Odysseus struggling to find his way home after the Trojan War to countless veterans throughout the centuries, the journey back from conflict has often been as difficult as the battle itself. The wounded warrior reminds us that true strength is not the absence of pain, but the courage to confront it, endure it, and continue moving forward.

MONSTER

Lyrics: Black/Marks | Music: Marks | 5:59

I look across crimson skies
From foreign lands that aren't my own
Will I live or will I die?
Trying to find the meaning to it all
I find comfort dreaming
My tour will end
It pains me not knowing
Will I hold my love again?

Bridge:

Hand grenades, machine gun fire
Bodies built up in a pile
Maybe we can rest awhile
I can't get them out of my head!!!

Chorus:

THERE'S NO ESCAPE
FROM THE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
I'M BRUISED AND BLEEDING
LOST EVERYTHING I OWN
THESE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
THESE MONSTERS ARE RAGING!!!!

I can't unsee these horrors
Bodies of my fallen brothers
Faces of the ones I've slaughtered
Just trying to survive
Sleepless nights I wait for death
Bombs blasting with every breath
Give me pills to forget
These horrors in my mind

Bridge:

Hand grenades, machine gun fire
Bodies built up in a pile
Maybe we can rest awhile
I can't get them out of my head!!!

Chorus:

THERE'S NO ESCAPE
FROM THE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
I'M BRUISED AND BLEEDING
LOST EVERYTHING I OWN
THESE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
THESE MONSTERS ARE RAGING!!!!

— Solo —

Chorus:

THERE'S NO ESCAPE
FROM THE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
I'M BRUISED AND BLEEDING
LOST EVERYTHING I OWN
THESE MONSTERS IN MY HEAD
THESE MONSTERS ARE RAGING!!!!

Outro:

These monsters
In my head
These monsters, in my head!!!

Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
I don't know what you've been told
Eskimo pussy is mighty cold!!
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left, Kill!
