what kind of monster?

from Rosemary by BAAN

/

about

And what of the origins of Gargantuan? Once a Prince, destined to become a monstrous King or a monstrous Abdicator, he descends to become his own kind of monster.

lyrics

You don’t have the stomach for this work, my boy
My darling one
You will never plunge
The knife between
The ribs, it’s obscene
But it must be done
The monster must be slain
He must die in pain
Lest he rise again

My kingdom will be thine
You will take what now is mine
Would you let it all decay,
Drain the coffers, watch it slip away?

When the Devil stands before the walls
Will you abandon them, ignore their calls?
What kind of monster will you be?
Forever lost, or writing history?
What will you be?
How will you feel?
Gargantuan
How will you feel
My only son?

Why do you always seek the soil?
What find you there but death and toil?
Your heart is made of gold
You never will grow old
What kind of monster will you become?
Gargantuan
