Contest Details!!

Hello everyone, Molly J. here! First off, sorry for the delay but I am delighted to inform you that all systems are now a go! I Am The Monster has decided to set up a Monst-test for you all so that you can score some free monster merch! The contest entails doing a cover of one of the songs on our facebook. This can be any kind of cover: guitar, drum, vocals, tuba (as someone had already inquired about), banjo....you name it! Make a video or recording of your cover, post it on youtube and send us the link. We will be reviewing your cover as a band and picking out our top favorites that will receive free merch. If you are doing a vocal cover and can't do the clean vocals or vice versa...get creative with it! You don't have to be a prodigy for us to like it...we want you to have fun with it! If you have any questions about anything you may contact us via facebook, individually or as a band and we will help you as best as we can. Also, here are the lyrics for both Edge Of The World and Depths. I made lyric videos as well (which are also on our youtube) if that makes it easier. We will look forward to seeing what you pull together! Good luck!


Edge Of The World


I swear I've been here before.
Can you hear the words I speak?
I'm on the edge of the world.
You've fallen from the light again.
And I know we've come so far.
But will you ever get back home?


For you, I fight and follow blindly.
We will take misfortune, in it's wake.
For you, I fight and follow blindly.
We will crawl on our bruised and broken hands.
For you, I fight and follow blindly.
We will crawl on our, on our bruised and our broken hands.


The writing on the walls.
Can you hear the words I speak?
It's all too real.
You've fallen from the light again.
It's made by sheltered minds.
But will you ever get back home?


Let loose the wolves


The ocean crashes.
Can you hear the words I speak?
The fear is here.
You've fallen from the light again.
And every bone is broken.
But will you ever get back home?


The ocean crashes and every bone is broken. The fear is here, it always has been.
So scream these words: set me free.


Days turn into decades, but you still haven't found a way to escape. And I recall the day when I tried to patch your pain with faith and you walked away. Can you tell me where you're going the compass is unclear, the path that you're taking is wrong but with time you'll know. Just pull it together, it's time we forget this and go.


I'm never looking back, I'm never coming home. Take your abandonment, there's no room for it here.
Just remember where we came from, there's a glimmer from the past.
We won't stay down, our march will shake the ground. This is our time to shine, this is our revolution.
Just remember where we came from and you can finally
Set me free.
Someone set me free.





Depths


Gambler, I'm calling your bluff. Lay down your hand, you're not fooling anyone.
Watch your step. Your only weakness is that you have no destination and no will
but to live to kill our dreams. But we will stand strong and we will fight.


We won't hold our breathe.
(Save the sinking ship...)
We'll fight the water into the depths.
(into the depths)


Watch your tongue, you will be found. Watch your tongue, if it's the last thing that I do.


The siren has sang it's song. Save the sinking ship.
The anchor will bring us down, keep your head above water.


(The revelation of who we are...)
Don't burn all your bridges or you'll fall to the water below.
But I can't help but set them ablaze with the fire in my bones.


We'll make it out by the skin of our teeth.
We'll make it out by the skin of our teeth. 
You have nothing but your glory to blame.
You have nothing but your glory to blame.


Yell fire fire, this is not a test. Shake it off, pull yourself together.
I'm not a monster, I'm just a simple man. (I'm not a monster)
I'm not a monster.


And we won't hold our breath.
(save the sinking ship)
We'll fight the water into the depths.
(...into the depths.)


Even you juggernaut, even you couldn't stop the power of this freight train.
