[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 making 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 making me
When we write the new mythology
