Monsters Among Men Lyrics by American Opera

Small Victories

2017

[Verse 1]
God, are you alive?
Have I seen your face before?
Are you alive?
God, are you alive?
Did the devil take your throne?
Are you alive?
[Chorus]
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get you see
It's harder to believe
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get
It's harder to believe
[Verse 2]
God, are you a lie?
That'd sure make us look like fools
Are you a lie?
There are monsters in our schools
Are you a lie?
Because my best friend took his life
Are you a lie?
And a madman took my brother's with a knife
[Chorus]
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get you see
It's harder to believe
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get you see
It's harder to believe
[Bridge]
The ground shook at Sandy Hook
There are monsters among men
Oh dear God, how is this happening again?
When we were born, the world was warm
We weren't worried wearied ones
We were the ones we wish we would be like today
But we grew old, the world is cold
We forgot the tales that we were told
We washed away a world with weathered wintered wounds
When we were born, the world was warm
We weren't worried wearied ones
We were the ones we wish we would be like today
[Chorus]
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get you see
It's harder to believe
The older that I get it seems
It's harder to believe in you
The older that I get you see
It's harder to believe
[Outro]
We wake up on Christmas morning
You know it's never been this boring
Where has the magic gone?
Or has it been gone all along?
