Modern History

[Verse 1] We searched the oceans twice Searching months on end Looking for my treasure Reasons behind our sins I was born in Bristol In 1623 I'm searching for my fortune In modern history [Verse 2] I'm living in a desert My horse is all I need We journey through the mountains See sand beneath our feet I never met my father He left when I was three I'm searching for the truth In modern history [Chorus] Modern history Modern history Modern history [Verse 3] We plundered through the cities I killed the kings and queens We shed the blood of tyrants From Spain to Italy Now I live in paintings And books that you can read Here I shall remain In modern history [Chorus] Modern history Modern history Modern history
