TheBongTheory - ​The Armor of Monsters

"I’m becoming your nightmare, to keep the world away."
Welcome to the official lyric video for "The Armor of Monsters."
This track explores the painful transformation of a soul pushed to the edge.
When society refuses to see the person within, the only choice left is to become the very thing they fear.
From the shadows of a vampire’s velvet cape to the stitched-together fragments of Prometheus, this song is an anthem for the misunderstood, the outcasts, and those who have had to build walls of terror just to find a moment of peace.
Sometimes, a monster's face is the only shield strong enough to withstand the world's judgment.

📜 LYRICS
(Verse 1)
I drape the velvet 'round my neck, I sharpen every tooth
Beneath the shadow of the Count, I hide a bitter truth
You thought I craved the crimson flow, the hunger and the night
But I just needed stone-cold walls to shield me from the light
Your judging eyes, they burned me like the desert sun at noon
So I became the darkness, under a hollow moon.
(Chorus)
Why did you back me in a corner, time and time again?
Why couldn't you see the soul beneath, the person deep within?
I had to wear the monster’s face just to find some peace
To build a wall of terror, so the haunting glares would cease
Your cold, condemning eyes, they forced this hand I play:
I’m becoming your nightmare, to keep the world away.
(Verse 2)
Then I sat beside the fire, with a shaman’s drum in hand
Seeking spirits, drifting far beyond this weary land
But to you I was a madman, a danger in the wild
Back against the wall again, the hope of man defiled
Then I was the Star-Child, reaching for the sky
A long way from a home I lost, with a light within my eye
But even then you closed the net, you tightened every chain
Until you gave me one more mask to wear inside the rain.
(Verse 3)
Now I’m the Modern Prometheus, stitched from scrap and bone
Scarred and ugly, built to be forever on my own
Heavy boots are thundering, the bolts are in my neck
I’m the final chorus of the lives that you would wreck
'Cause if I’m not the monster, you won’t let me breathe
You can’t stand a heart that doesn't wear its soul upon its sleeve.
(Chorus)
Why did you back me in a corner, time and time again?
Why couldn't you see the soul beneath, the person deep within?
I had to wear the monster’s face just to find some peace
To build a wall of terror, so the haunting glares would cease
Your cold, condemning eyes, they forced this hand I play:
I’m becoming your nightmare, to keep the world away.
(Outro)
The Vampire... the Shaman... the Visitor from the stars...
The Monster is complete now, are you happy with these scars?
I’ve finally found my silence.
I’ve finally found... my peace.
(Fading out)
Just leave me alone.
