Monuments - I, The Destroyer Lyrics
And I will rid the earth!
Oh, pestilence aside
And shape the world as I seize it
So insignificant, all that you control
Bow to me, guaranteed
Defined in silence
I am the consequence of hate
And this has gone through flesh, with the blood of victims
There's a light at the end
You better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
This is the end
Oh this world
Bound within the same cycle
A fading memory that must be destroyed
I redefine this life of fain[?]
Fain torture exquisite[?]
Everything alive
Bathed in bloods of purity
Imagine me, the gods above no doubt will see this
Never take such confidence in the things that will burn your flesh
In a blind obsession?
There's a light at the end
You better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity will escape
There's a light at the end
You better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity awaits
Oh, I am the destroyer
Father of evil
I'm the god of chaos
This place within the realm
Never felt so perfect beneath the slavery
All the time we spent just allowed if all things were peace
Over the edge of this place we leave before us
I'm at the edge of this place before us
Try going down
There's a light at the end
You better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My old identity will escape
There's a light at the end
You better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity awaits!
This is the end!...

Monuments I, The Destroyer Comments
03:29 this riff
Where the hell did those growls come from? I can't get the stains out of my underwear
Used to slay on League of Legends listening to this haha
1:11 “There’s a light at the end of the gulag now for the sake of the parakeets that were not accepted”
Metal as Fuck
2:54 holy fuck
UPDATE: 4:39 HOLY FUCK
How the fuck does he do those growls?? I’ve got the singing mostly down and can do high to mid screams but I can’t do those death growls for shit!
That’s a very long burp 0.36
Browne hit the brown note at the end and everyone shit their pants.
"i dont like when people sing"
- entitled cunts
I was the destroyer.
I wove the lands with hatred
And scarred the holy employer,
Vindication of the sacred.
What was held dear I took away,
All souls left to decay.
Something was wrong with me,
But in Hell I would stay.
I became the creator.
I stitched the sky with inspiration,
I was Hell’s surviving traitor,
I was the holy instigation.
I brought forth the night and day,
Guided those who would stray.
Something had changed in me,
And for Heaven I would pray.
This drummer is fucking sick!
Definately a meshuggah vibe
This was undisputedly the best metal intro I've ever heard and then at 1:11, for reasons I will never comprehend, some fucking idiot decided to sing harmonically really reeeeeeally poorly in a goddamn metal song. Why? The song was PERFECT! The screaming and growling were just unbelievable. The 'singing' is fucking awful. Nix that shit entirely. Sounds like my fucking cat trying to get laid. You're awful and you should feel terrible for ruining such an amazing song.
Who hurt you my mans
Sum good shit. Beginning riff is perfection. Hope M3 has more of these.
Those lows
Shit is fucking hot. Ripping riffs, guttural and high vocals. Metal at its finest. 🤘🏻
Dat song opening and opening line ... Damn.
This is a banger, that's some groovy shit wow
Catch Fire + Stranger Things = I, The Destroyer
Chris baretto in the vocals damn
Ever Forthright good group too
Chris sings in this group too
Best song monuments have made.
the song is good but the quality sucks
2:54 - 3:12 Punched a whole through every window in the house to the beat of this groove.
That intro makes me wet
moist as fuark
Same. And im a dude.
that breakdown at 4:39. Pure gold.
Sometimes I wish the band was instrumental to fully experience the greatness of the rythm-playing
The angriest song ever made.
Love it <3
Mateusz Nakonieczny nah I'd say the song pissed off, by fit for king is angrier than this song
They barely even play this live.
Very powerful and very underrated song.
i asked their guitarist which i aIready did 3 teachings with
he IiteraIIy said its 2 hard 2 pIay and after he showed it 2 me i fuIIy understand
doesnt sound that hard but if u downpick it aII Iike john does....esp those ringing-out-chord-inbetween-chugga chugga is fucking exhausting
its too hard to sing as well. The choruses are constantly in the high 4th, low 5th octave, in addition to the heavy gutterals and screams (which layer over each other btw) and the final F#5 note at the end. Over all, without a second vocalist and it being the first song played, they would never be able to do it more than once or twice on a tour.
I had a chance to talk with John himself for a short while before the concert and he said that the bass is tuned too low to play it live haha
I talked to Chris Barretto at one of his concerts practically begging him to play it as it is my favourite
Lamb of god ftw :V
Fuck you talkin about?
@James Van Metre his growls are very similar to the lamb of god ones
2:54 so nice
'the never ending growl' i managed to write this sentence within the opening growl...
This band is raw magical talent.
The growls are too nice
i am upset that it took me this long to find these guys
holy fuck awesome find
fuck! beast vocals
Sooo good!
Intro grooves so hard you'll stand up and slap your grandma.
Ahem..porkchop n chunky
Intro grooves so hard your co workers wonder why your having a seizure
Intro grooves so hard my great- grandma just resurrected from the dead
intro grove so hard it hits you with a fus ro dah, you shit yourself but still standing there moshing and hardcore dancing whilst it runs down your leg... also whilst beating your grandna to death with your electric guitar
Intro so heavy it... it has a great mass and makes you assault geriatric relatives amirite?
The album cover's an ancient Bop-it.
This. (Tips hat.)
+Odhran Feeney Bro, that's a Zoroastrian symbol of darkness. It's the seal of the being of destruction.
I.E. That voice in your Bop-it.
jesus, it´s been long since I watched SPN
Odhran Feeney lmfao basically
I am the destroyeeeeeeerrrrr father of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil
I need to get this album artwork tattooed on my body....
I'd hate to go that SJW route and say "It's my body" but....
In any case, this music IS art that inspires me. The story that is woven in to the album, and the album artwork inspires me.
I already have the spiral design (behind the hands and center piece of the artwork) done with negative space sri yantra in the center, so this wouldn't take much doing.
BEAST! Love this so much :)
4:38 daaaaaayyyuuum, still gets me everytime
😮💨
this track is a masterpiece, would be really cool to hear this live
is he inhaling?
Not really, I don't hear it honestly it just sounds like a low squeal, but not low enough to be guttural.
+Opie Winston I would consider gutturals to be like bands in the brutal deathmetal genre.
It's not exclusive to that genre, if someone uses that technique in their screams outside of brutal death metal it doesn't mean it isn't a guttural, i only meant part of the song anyways like the intro and part of the 2nd verse
@Opie Winston I'm aware it's not exclusive to that genre, the point I was trying to make was that bands in that genre contain guttural vocals, but are not limited to that genre alone I mean there's gutturals in deathcore lol. I'm just saying that evem though he squeals low, it isn't necessarily guttural.
Awesome song
seen these guys live they are amazing!!!!!
Maynard James Keenan + Chris Barretto = the best damn vocalist to have ever existed and ever will exist
+Jourdan Pouliot Chris is already x10 more versatile and has a bigger range, does everything maynard does and more.
Maynard has a unique sense of feel, though. Different kind of soul and he can do harshes for days, he just doesn't go for them
Jake Severson Not about range
This has got to be the most...COSMIC album I've ever listened to. I simply can't get enough of these guys.
The way it ties in with I, The Creator is just pure class.
Oh this world bound within the same cycle!! A fading memory that must be destroyed! I redefine this life obscene, seen torture exquisite! Everything will not be. the loss of purity! Damn, I love screaming that second verse
rage of tahiti bob
Another day, another great band found.
Not sure about them cleans, damn
Perfect song for jungling with Sion on LoL.
+Zack Harris What about Meshuggah's "I am Colossus"?
Lyrics:
And I will rid the earth...
All pestilence aside, I'll save the world as I see fit. So insignificant, all that you control. Bow to me, guaranteed to find the silence. I am the consequence of hate expressed has gone through flesh with the blood of victims
There's a light at the end, you better go right now. For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own dark down in me will escape
This is the end
All this world, bound within the same cycle. A fading memory that must be destroyed. I redefine this life of fate
Side torture exquisite?
Everything beyond perfect fields of purity?
Imagine me, the gods above no doubt will see this.
Never seen such confidence in the face in the void of flesh with your blind obsession
There's a light at the end, you better go right now. For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own dark down in me will escape
There's a light at the end, you better go right now. For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own dark down in me awaits
I am the destroyer, father of evil
Father of all chaos
This place nothing's around never felt so perfect. Believe the slavery of the time we start just to lie to serve as our dreams.
Over the edge
Of this place we leave before us
I'm at the edge
Of this place before us
Try going down
[Chorus]
This is the end
+Nagy György Krisztián Nagy their guitarist +Olly Steele would probably know the lyrics better than you man
+Blaine Anspaugh No doubt, but here is the opportunity to send us the right and corrected lyrics, cuz The best band ever, but no lyrics on booklet officially of the record inlay and no on their website either, why? it is a big disatvantage dear
+Nagy György Krisztián Nagy ...*Looks like some edgelord wrote this song*
My own dark down lol
My own identity is one of the lines you were looking for.
"This place within the realm, never felt so perfect beneath the slavery. All the time we spent just to let it fall piece by piece." is what I hear
THALL AS FUCK
@Larris Liew wrong band
@Blob The All-Knowing thall is thall, thall is not band exclusive.
@Larris Liew Thall is whatever one perceives it to be. So you're wrong. Thall is the term used to describe Five Seconds of Summer. They're so fuckin' thall
Hendrix The Pigoo only the writer knows what it's all about. absolutely dude
Anyone else feel like they're hearing the Lamb of God vocalist in some of the deeper growls?
Gotta' love the rolling abyssal riff. Had to rework my equalizer for this song. /,,/
LASZLOOOOOO!!!!!!
I cant find hardly ANY lyrics for songs on the web. What the actual fuck

@sawyer309
LYRICS, though not perfect
And I will rid the earth.
All pestilence aside, and shape the world as I see fit.
So insignificant all that you control.
Bow to me, guaranteed to find the silence.
I am the consequence of hate expressed has gone through flesh with the blood of victims
There's a light at the end, you better go right now.
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your deception.
My own ?? will escape.
This is the end
All this world, bound within the same cycle.
A fading memory that must be destroyed.
I redefine this life of greed
Pain, torture, exquisite?
?? fields of purity.
Imagine me, the gods above no doubt will see this.
Never seen such confidence and conviction in the void of flesh with your blind obsession.
There's a light at the end, you better go right now.
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your deception.
My own ?? will escape. x2
I am the destroyer, father of evil.
Now, the god of chaos.
This place, nothing's around never felt so perfect.
Believe the slavery of the time we spent just to lie to serve as our peace.
Over the edge.
Of this place we leave before us.
I'm at the edge.
Of this place before us.
Try going down.
There's a light at the end, you better go right now.
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your deception.
My own ?? will escape. x2
THIS IS THE END.

This is the best band since Tool.
fanboys everywhere
@diddy I think the only tool song they heard was Jambi and decided it was Djent. lmao
TesseracT?
Tool literally invented thoughtful music AND holds the copyright. I'm a reformed Tool prick, and can confirm that it is our mentality that any band with any semblance of thought put into lyrics or melody must be a Tool derivative. When I was younger I would call Meshuggah my "heavy Tool" and Karnivool "chill Tool". Every time we listen to other music its trying to recapture what we feel Tool gave us. I really love any music that challenges your mind and uses progressive elements, and frankly all Tool did was use that already established style and apply it to metal/grundge. They were groundbreaking artists but their fans have abused their prominence to the point where literally every band outside of pop is compared to them. And there's plenty of people who do that with bands like this, even when its clear these bands come from the meshuggah lineage of prog... basically Tool fans have created a super massive ego FOR a band that's made 5 albums in 25 years
@Smashhell I completely agree. Tool is and always will be my #1, but the fans are literally the textbook definition of Toxic fanboys
My god those low growls.. I don't know how to describe it.. Sounds like Satan got lung cancer and is trying to cough up a hundred pounds of scrap metal. Holy mother of god, especially at the end.
accurate :)
Bro look for Nihil Obstat band from south america and you'll see what is low growls anyway these are brutal too
someone tell me the lyrics to the chorus, can't crack them
@Skyrim Sniper This is what I hear:
There's a light at the end of where to go right now, for the sake of apologies that were not accepted. (Infinity of an different time) My love, a felony to escape.
There's a light at the end of where to go right now, for the sake of apologies that were not accepted. (Infinity of an different time) My love, a felony, your waste.
We have pretty close lyrics here, I just wish Monuments would post them somewhere!
Hopefully soon.
Anyone got the chorus to Garden Of Sankhara btw? That's another one i've been dying to learn.
There's a light at the end. You better go look now for the sake of apologies that were not accepted. (A final fiend of a different god) My love, my felony, will escape. My love, my felony, awaits.
I think that's pretty much it.
@Sam Damarell
I posted the lyrics to Garden on the video for it :)
this is decent Progressive Metal, with a great production too. thanks
Do many people get that impression (artwork) of something alike to that is what is actually going on? such an Archetype given to those who reach inside and find it. ever watched Dark City? (how about this one: hung upsides down when we sleep to be transported ahead to where you are going to be.)
are you tripping? because that wasn't english
@steezermusic nope. did you not look at the artwork? do you know what an archetype is. It is like this: a dog of a breed that originates in a foreign country, but never heard the native language of that country, responds to commands spoken in that language. This is the same as symbols used by various cultures in the distant past spread across the globe. any ways...
@baird2100 An archetype is a perfect example of something. Like a beautiful blonde girl with a size six body on the cheerleader squad, being a perfect example of a popular highschool girl.
you got on too late noob.
That intro. And that outro :)
where can i get the lyrics? not in the album thanks
EPIC MONUMENTS!!! CHEERS FROM BRAZIL>>> EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!
BR HU3 HU3 tomara que um dia eles venham aki no brasil especialmente no rio de janeiro
Those fucking vocals
@Michael Z Martin Hahaha thanks man x)
first thing I said when he started screaming haha.
good or bad way. I think it's good. Not to awesome growls, but it's okay(?)
I think you'll like lamb of god
TheRhalf i definitely got a lamb of god vibe from the "growls" too
one word
meshuggah
@Chuck H this is the dumbest complaint. "i cant enjoy it unless its 15/4 and changes key ever 14 seconds"
@Mynn Fortunately, I don't really know or associate with anyone who would say that. :)
@Chuck H I know a few and it's ridiculous. People who think virtuosity define a song annoy me to death.
@Mynn what you mean
Loved this till the high pitched singing came in, the dude can wail but the music has sooo much groove that those vocal melodies spoil it....really want to like it but my ears just cant hack it!!
Ya mum got wrekt
I agree bro, still great music overall
Loved this till the high pitched singing came in, the dude can wail but the music has sooo much groove that those vocal melodies spoil it....really want to like it but my ears just cant hack it!!
Finally sounds like actual Monuments, not freaking Periphery
@SeparateMouse so go look at a piano, find the 7th octave on an F note and play the sharp. Genius.
Either way Spencer is my lover.
@Jayson Hammer Definitely not how you notate that but sure, I see what you're saying now
Well if you like Spencer so much already, your opinion has bias just like this guy. So what did either of you prove?
SeparateMouse No he notated it correctly.
Anyone has the lyrics for this ?
Holy shit this is heavy.
omg you guys are great! I love the music of yours!
damn my uncle was in a band with baretto and totally underutalised him...I think he was the guitarist when he should have been doing vocals
this track is awesome!
heavyness + chorus and hooks FTW
Love those Deathcore vocs. Definitely drawing a wide range of influences.
