MONSTER — “YOU WOKE THE MONSTER” [INTRO — DARK / SPOKEN] [Blackout. Low rumble.] COWBELL: CLANG… CLANG… CLANG… You wanted me quiet. CLANG… You wanted me gone. CLANG… CLANG… You should’ve left me alone. YOU WOKE THE MONSTER. [“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” — Psalm 27:1] [COWBELL COUNT-IN: CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!] [MASSIVE SOUTHERN-METAL GUITAR RIFF EXPLODES] ──────── [VERSE 1] I’ve been through fire, I’ve been through rain, Carried my family, carried the pain. Built with these hands, fought for my name, You threw the match — I walked through the flame. I’ve heard the rumors, I’ve heard the lies, Looked every devil straight in the eyes. You thought I’d fold, thought I’d disappear— But every damn scar just brought me here. [Cowbell starts riding underneath the drums] ──────── [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t run. I don’t hide. Truth in my heart, My family beside me. You wanted a fight? Well, here I am. [“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” — Job 13:15] [COWBELL: CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!] ──────── [CHORUS — ARENA CHANT] MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! YOU WOKE THE MONSTER! Knock me down— I GET UP STRONGER! MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! Hear that thunder! You can bring the whole damn world— I’M STILL COMIN’! I won’t bend. I won’t break. I won’t trade truth for somebody’s sake. You wanted the Monster? YOU GOT THE MONSTER! [“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17] [COWBELL SOLO INTO GUITAR RIFF] ──────── [VERSE 2] Texas dirt underneath my boots, I know where I’m from, I know my roots. Hammer and nails, blood and sweat, Everything I’ve lost ain’t stopped me yet. I’m not a saint, never claimed to be, But you’ll know exactly where you stand with me. When the bell rings loud and the lights burn white, Monster don’t quit— MONSTER FIGHTS. ──────── [BREAKDOWN — DRUMS + COWBELL ONLY] [Heavy stomp beat] CLANG! CLANG! WHO GETS BACK UP? MONSTER! CLANG! CLANG! WHO WON’T BACK DOWN? MONSTER! CLANG! CLANG! WHO WALKS THROUGH FIRE? MONSTER! [Cowbell accelerating] CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Then ring that bell— LET’S GO ANOTHER ROUND! [“When I fall, I shall arise.” — Micah 7:8] [FULL BAND EXPLODES BACK IN] ──────── [FINAL CHORUS — GOSPEL CHOIR + CROWD + COWBELL] MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! MON-STER! CLANG! CLANG! YOU WOKE THE MONSTER! Knock me down— I GET UP STRONGER! MON-STER! MON-STER! Hear that thunder! Faith in my soul and my family behind me— I’M STILL COMIN’! Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humble through the flame. [“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” — Micah 6:8] You can take your best shot— BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE MY NAME! ──────── [OUTRO — EVERYTHING STOPS] [One slow cowbell] CLANG… You didn’t create the Monster. [“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6] [CLANG…] You just gave him… [CLANG…] a reason to wake up. [WRESTLING BELL RINGS] MONSTER.
