Special collaboration with @EndlessTaverns .
This is “The Monster They Made,” my Murder Hobo Dark Urge answer-track to the companion Redemption Durge song, “The Hero They Need.”
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Dark Urge stands at a brutal crossroads: resist the blood, or embrace it completely. This song captures the version that gives in, becoming exactly what Bhaal wanted: a weapon, a monster, and the end of everyone in its path.
Musically, I pushed this track into an aggressive Industrial Thrash / Power Metal direction with pipe organ, synth bass, and a more chaotic duet energy to reflect the madness and violence of the Dark Urge.
Go hear the companion track, “The Hero They Need,” on Endless Taverns for the other side of the story.

Lyrics:
They named the wound beneath my skin
Now hear the feast of gods begin
I could have bent this world my way
So I did and called it fate
Every outstretched hand I took
Came off in blood before the book
Every road I chose to walk
Left butchered prayers in every hall
They wrote my name in crimson thread
Before the worm crawled through my head
I walked through cursed and lightless land
Where even the sun refused to stand
These broken realms will know me soon
I am the knife
I am the wound
I am what they made me
I am what I've done
I am the end of everyone
I carry this hunger
I carry these deeds
I'll bury them screaming
And be the monster they made
They stayed when they should have run
So I showed them what I'd become
I handed back their shattered pieces
One by one through ruined seasons
Did you think I'd break beneath
The weight of all that fed on me
I looked into the abyss and grinned
It stared right back and called me kin
I built no world too bright to save
I built a throne above the grave
A father made of teeth and dread
Still whispers glory in my head
If gods demand a crimson creed
Then let them watch their monster feed
I am what they made me
I am what I've done
I am the end of everyone
I carry this hunger
I carry these deeds
I'll bury them screaming
And be the monster they made
I did not come here for the answers
I came here for the kill
And every good they begged me to spare
Was something softer made to spill
For all who tried to walk beside me
For all who thought I'd choose the light
I was the hand behind the curtain
I was the fever in the knife
I am what they made me
I am what I've done
I am the end of everyone
I carry this hunger
I carry these deeds
I'll bury them screaming
And be the monster they made
A father made of hunger laughed
The first time that I split the sky
Now every road I choose to walk
Ends where the kind and faithful die
No crown without a corpse below
No peace beneath the red I bleed
You wanted something worse than death
Now face the monster that you made
