I Killed the Monster

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm moving on. I'm getting out.

I killed the monster

Passed it behind, fate has been kind.

I killed the monster

I know it's right, I learned to fight

I killed the monster

Let it be said when I am dead

I killed the monster

He put me down through many rounds

But I have found a good thing

Right to the end I was my friend

I killed the monster

I almost lost I paid the cost

I killed the monster

Angels came down right on the ground

I killed the monster

Blood on the ground, there was no sound

I was the winner

They put me down through many rounds

But I have found a good thing

I killed the monster.
