The song was inspired by the play of William Shakespeare called “The tempest” and it tells about the Story of Caliban, a savage monster figure and his feelings towards Miranda (A Beautiful princess, daughter of Próspero).

[Intro]
I always was a lower being
Not much, I'm just a beast
You might think I'm the lowest of the low
But there is something you should know
[Verse 1]
Long before you came
You'd have found me here
And never begged for your help
This old land will be mine once again
And all my sacrifice will be worth the price
And never again I'll be a monster in your eyes
[Verse 2]
You took my freedom
And shaped it into your servant
You taught me your tongue
Denying me the word
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord o'mine for so long
Now comes the time to regain
(And Miranda will see
All of my sacrifice)
[Chorus]
My land and Miranda will see
All my sacrifice (my sacrifice) will be worth the price
And never again I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'll be a monster in her eyes
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Please, be not afeard
By this isle's sounds in your ears
When I have awaked
After a long sleep
The clouds I was dreaming
I cry to dream of again
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh!
Ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord o'mine for so long
Now comes the time to regain my land
(And Miranda will see
All of my sacrifice)
[Chorus]
My land and Miranda will see
All my sacrifice (my sacrifice) will be worth the price
Forever I'll say
My stolen paradise (My stolen paradise)
Will be worth the price and no longer
I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'll be a monster in her eyes
I'm just a monster in her eyes
