Modern Mythology

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tattered books in the desert sand Omens told from a far off land I don't need tall tales when the lone wolves wail tonight Legends forged by the folks that come Here to summon pandemonium But now I'm stained blood red, caught the old beast dead to rights [Chorus] You've never seen the side Where the wraiths and the reapers hide Another cold day on the hunt for me 'Cause I live modern mythology [Verse 2] Evеr notice how the stories go All thе same, like a second show? But the truth lies in the old times again Nothing's changed since the witchin' days Risking life for a prison stay Just so you fools keep your damn cool in the face of death In the face of death [Chorus] You've never seen the side Where the wraiths and the reapers hide Another cold day on the hunt for me 'Cause I live modern mythology Keeping bay all the evil done Walk the dark while you live in the sun So you should thank God for makin' me When we write the new mythology [Bridge] No one tells you that the fable's true You cross the line and death waits for you Myths are born in the world today In the dark, in the dark Millions more slipping by each day Don't believe magic's gone away All the cursed faces come to fear my mark My mark [Chorus] You've never seen the side Where the wraiths and the reapers hide Another cold day on the hunt for me 'Cause I live modern mythology Keeping bay all the evil done Walk the dark while you live in the sun So you should thank God for makin' me When we write the new mythology
