David Hakan - The Monster (original)

David Hakan performs his new song, The Monster, at the April 2009 Songpull at Westport Coffee House in Kansas City, MO. Used with permission. I hope this looks better with my new camera.

The Monster (capo on 5th fret in Dm) AmCD Theres a monster in the failing light. It travels round the world. Theres a monster but its out of sight. It hides in every flag unfurled. refrain FGAm Theres a monster and it eats whole towns. FGC- E It feeds on men in their prime. (women in their prime)(children all the time) FGAm It started with the first rock thrown. FGAm Its as old, its as old as time. Its in the paychecks for the factories That make our bullets and our guns. Till in each nation a hunger grows To use that power on someone. Refrain Is there any hope of freedom From this cycle we are in? Will we see this monsters face someday And know were looking within? Refrain Words and music by David B.

I enjoyed listening to this song with one exception. We are not the monster but every nation seems to have it's own monster and right now ours is showing. We've got to put it back into the cage somehow. Good voice... good songwriting... good message.... good performance. 5 stars.
