lyrics

The Monster (capo on 5th fret in Dm)

Am C D
There’s a monster in the failing light.
It travels ‘round the world.
There’s a monster but it’s out of sight.
It hides in every flag unfurled.

refrain
F G Am
There’s a monster and it eats whole towns.
F G C - E
It feeds on men in their prime.
(women in their prime)(children all the time)
F G Am
It started with the first rock thrown.
F G Am
It’s as old, it’s as old as time.

It’s in the paychecks for the factories
That make our bullets and our guns.
Till in each nation a hunger grows
To use that power on someone.

Refrain

Is there any hope of freedom
From this cycle we are in?
Will we see this monster’s face someday
And know we’re looking within?

Refrain
