Modern Mythology

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

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

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 witching 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

No one tells you that the fable's true
You cross the line and death wait's 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

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 making me
When we write the new mythology
