I Killed the Monster Lyrics

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.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
